In-Game HTTP/FTP Downloading (AutoDL)

Post by **Foo** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:20 pm

Someone finally up and patched it into IOQ3:

This patch adds HTTP/FTP "redirected" download functionality to the ioquake3
client. This feature is very desirable since the UDP downloads tend to
be so slow. cURL was used (http://curl.haxx.se) for the downloading.
The feature is completely optional and makes no protocol change.

It'll be a while before it's available in a compiled version though, they're in feature freeze for the next release.

Regardless, yay, it's finally been done.

Yay. Would be nice to have some server admins with /pb_disabled run ioq3 as their server.

I'm guessing once they hit build 900 they will post the win32 download on the frontpage (its less than 30 builds now til then). I dunno, sorta like build 801 was the last one posted on there.

most of the cpma135 servers are pb_sv_disabled anyway...
