Downloading maps.

Hi folks :-)

A (I think) simple question:
Is there a way to download ALL the CW2 maps at once?
Like in a zip or rar file?

I started all over again, but I have to manually download all the maps, a rather time consuming job...

Thanks.

I don't know if there is an official way, but if you run linux (or have access to bash shell and wget) you can use this script I put together.
It will download every cw2 map in the current folder up to the 3000th (there are no more than 2800 currently).

I must warn you that importing all maps makes your game much slower. You can create a new folder with all maps and only put the maps in that you want to play in the folder that the game imports, but otherwise it will take a long time for the game to load up all custom maps each time you visit the custom maps screen.

Moreover, that script will hammer the knucklecracker server with very fast requests and this is not good netiquette. Consider adding a "sleep 2" comment after each wget.
