Isn't there a way to modern clients download directly from FTP though ? https://ioquake3.org/the-site/httpftp-d ... direction/adminless wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 21:26 well that among many other things. I wrote it way too many times already, the auto download thing in this game was designed for a internet era and context that doesn't even exist/apply anymore and it's completely obsolete/doesn't even make any sense by any 2010+ standards let alone by (almost) 2025, more than 25 years later. that's the way it's. yes, yes, don't worry that I had understood you. beside the well known packages and map packs you have linked all the individual maps available for download at the forum links. I believe almost everybody around here already knows that. beside every time I add a new map I also post it here (just like that poq3dm5 above). I know, the thing with the "complete" package (yes, "complete" package as you wrote) is that is obviously only complete at the time of posting not 2-3 years in the future. so yeah of course it happens often that people download such complete package and completely forget about the issue, then maps get added/removed just as requested here and then they blame it in the now "complete" package as you write. again, it's the way it's, people need to be up to date with what's going on in one way or another.
Sadly non q3e/ioquake3 users will get the 10kb/s ridiculous vanilla download speed
I still understand keeping autodownload off for security reasons. I've said all I had to say , rest is up to you
