Not a suggeation, but a question here.
Is there any way to make the custom maps download on my PC once and for all? So that once I have been on a particular custom map, it will not have to download every time I enter the game.

i say dont use custom maps...

most ppl wont dload them and they do slowdown the server if the do dload...

stick to official maps

[cryptoguy]

Hey, vikeor, I actually talked to NWO about this, and he said he uses custom maps to attract a larger audience, and get more people on the server. There are hundreds of servers with normal maps, but less servers with custom ones.

And actually, the custom maps do not download too long. Sometimes, yeah, they take like 2 minutes, but most of the time, they are pretty speedy, at least for me.

I think the files you are talking about are what I call "crap" files and I've tried everything on my end to try and disable you guys from having to download them over an over again...

I have also discovered that this downloading issue only occurs on custom maps and not on stock maps, if I host a custom map, you would not have to download a single file, without changing any of my or your settings

Read the first post of this thread to find out how you can disable all downloads from servers...

Yes, but it's not worth sacrficing traffic to solve this little problem.

I don't mind downloading them once either, I don't know why it doesn't perform a check and download missing files but downloads the same files every time regardless if you have them or not, even I have to download them every time, but not anymore because I set my cl_downloadfilter to all Now, I am not sure that if you set it to "all" if it downloads the maps and materials, but I have a pretty good gut feeling that it will and should.

edit: setting cl_downloadfilter all will not let you download maps

I don't know why, but when we switched the map to poolday_v4, it started downloading everything, and at the very end said "Missing map dod_poolday_v4, disconnecting". I tried several times, same result...

I have definately played poolday before, maybe it wasn't v4??
