automap download.

[Polarite]

Now with quake1.net offline for days some people complained about automap download not working.

Here is a fix :

If you still want to use automap download from bigfoot or damage than you need to adjust your config with :

cl_web_download "1"
cl_web_download_url "bigfoot.servequake.com/"

or

cl_web_download "1"
cl_web_download_url "damage.servequake.com/"

To elaborate on this, and just to avoid any confusion, it is the Quake1.net domain that appears to be having the difficulties not the servers themselves. If you go in to quake console and type...

connect damage.servequake.com

or alternatively

connect bigfoot.servequake.com

...then you should find that the servers are still up and waiting for your to blast each other to bits. That's certainly just been the case for me.
Hopefully whoever controls the quake1.net domain will be able to rectify the problem shortly and things can return to normal.

Kind regards

Ok quake1.net domain seems to be back online.

Anyway all these will work , pick one :

cl_web_download_url "bigfoot.quake1.net/"
cl_web_download_url "bigfoot.servequake.com/"
cl_web_download_url "bigfoot.servegame.org/"
cl_web_download_url "damage.quake1.net/"
cl_web_download_url "damage.servequake.com/"
cl_web_download_url "damageuk.servegame.org/"

Enough backups now
If needed I could set up automap download on flanders or new york server also...

I should mention that Polarite has asked me a few times to add an option to
stack urls, so if one fails, it will automatically search another url.

I keep forgetting to do this! ARrrrgghhh...
