old CS2D Map Repository

We are currently initiating a project of tremendous scale. It has came to our attention that the gameplay of CS2D is limited to those maps that are defaultly installed by cs2d. While there are sites that offers maps, these sites are generally some-what inconvenient to use and leaves many to have only the default maps.

With that said, www.TGVserver.info has embarked on a mission to simplify the said task. Initially designed as an auto-map dl program, we have now considered all of its potentials and decided to create a cs2d map repo where all of the popular maps can be downloaded. Features are based on user demand, and the source code will be open for anyone to see.

So in the spirit of things, we have opened up a server dedicated solely for map data transfer.

The said server can be found on tgvserver.info:2001

Any developer wishing to utilize this server can simply send a TCP msg to tgvserver.info at port 2001 and create a receiver that sends the received data into a filestream to be written into the map file. The client is platform and language independent. As long as you can create a socket, then you can make the client.

Also, if anyone wishes for the mapserver code, just contact me at www.tgvserver.info

Does this also pickup additional files like (SFX, GFX)? or just the [mapname.map].

Would also be good if it checks for [mapname.txt].
This sounds very nice though.

Looks really nice.
You may wanna add that you need Python installed.

@leegao: how long have you been working with python?

Not too long, around a few months maybe, but it looks a lot like C and I don't mind the indents, makes the code really readable and elegant.

Implementation after the next release:

Server compress and cache all the component files of the maps (gfx, sounds, etc) and client will automatically decompress and install the said maps

Client will automatically get the server list and download any maps not detected within the maps directory

Maybe a GUI?
