W.small tool but does a great job! Get a maps in no time directly from game servers, for players playing at public servers, unrestricted download speed ! Alternatively - you can use ioq3 ;]
Hi community, I have tested yesterday a fast download tool and saw that it works amazingly fast with E+.
Why e+ mod doesn't provide it by default is cos it doesn't support punkbuster. And there is ioq3. Btw still not all servers are providing this feature, it's new thing, and need's some time.
Only thing needed to do is use another executable file than quake3.exe for public games and normal one for cws.
Install and start, for client/users side
- Windows/Linux : Extract zip file to quake3 folder.
- Common step : set cl_allowDownload 1 to download custom maps within seconds
- Most important: run quake3 using new executable quake3e (quake3e.exe)
That's all you can run it to play on any public server with pb disabled.
Aditionaly you can use this script to turn it on/off autodownload with F11 button, just copy these lines to your config:
bind F11 "vstr autod"
set autod vstr ad0
set ad0 "cl_allowDownload 1; set autod vstr ad1; echo2 ^1autodownload ON!"
set ad1 "cl_allowDownload 0; set autod vstr ad0; echo2 ^1autodownload OFF!"
If you haven't understood it yet :
for public games use quake3e.exe (win), quake3e (linux), or ioq3
for cw games use what You used since now (quake3.exe etc..)
*ps, have in mind quake3e and ioq3 does not support PunkBuster
*pps, you can achieve fast downloads even better by simply using ioq3
Servers already set to test this tool
I have set up Excessive+ Map Testing Servers, and I invite you all to try how amazing it is.
Servers list is incomplete, just an example:
/connect 193.192.59.218:28330
/connect 193.192.59.218:28650
/connect 193.192.59.218:28450
/connect 95.130.10.38:27980
/connect 95.130.10.38:27960
/connect 87.239.82.225:27960
There are few more features on this tool such as ALT+TAB that makes you switch window (msn, check website, etc...) fast then back without any issue.

Simply extract it, run it - and enjoy it !
Servers are updating, so it might be not all at the time will provide excessive download speeds.
Still at testing state.
