Re: Finally!

would be nice if client game showed "download map from http://team-simple.org/maps" or something like that instead of  "map not found", but maybe this can not be done because when the map not found client does not takes any info from server except the error code, right?

Re: Finally!

Why then people can't download game from any web-site and to play to themselves quietly?

Exactly. I could patch BF1942.exe to direct to team-simple.org URL, for example, when clicking OK button when map not found error message prompted, but no one would download that modified executable and it's a bit abusive to replace EA Games role.

Re: Finally!

do you mean if client .exe would be patched, it could bring player direct to map download, right? that modified executable really would be hard to spread among players. maybe with support of EA Games...:)
but if would be a possible give to players a download link, in moment when they cant connect to game.. for example short link placed in serverrs list, in the line with game name/map name, a link which will be easy to read and remember, i dont know.. or instead of error massege; in that case many of players would type that address in their browser and follow it to download needed maps and i bet the server would fill with time
the option with browser call is better ofc. but that would be 1.70 patch, or something like that
