Installation:

• You need the System2 Extension (> v3.0)
  • Be sure to give sourcemod/data/system2/linux/i386/7z (32-Bit linux server) or sourcemod/data/system2/linux/amd64/7z (64-Bit linux server)
    or sourcemod/data/system2/win/7z.exe execution rights (Linux: 744), so file compression will work

• (Optional) Download GoD-Tony's Automatic Plugin Updater if you want that Map Download will be updated automatically.

• (CSGO) Install VGUI URL Cache Buster for CSGO, so that MOTDs will work correctly.

• Download the Ingame Map Download plugin.

• If you like to use a black, white or customlist, open sourcemod/configs/mapdownload_lists.cfg and configurate the lists.
  • How to set up the lists you can take out of the file.

• Now upload everything to your server.

• Restart your server, change the map or load mapdownload via console.

• Open the created cfg/sourcemod/plugin.mapdownload.cfg file and configurate your settings.

Known Issues:

• After downloading the file, it will not be extracted
  1. This error can appear because the system2 7z isn't uploaded as a binary file.
  2. Change the FTP transfer type from automatic to binary.

• Couldn't find a valid Map file
  1. Forgot to give 7z or 7z.exe execution rights.
  2. The downloaded file is corrupt or invalid (retry).
  3. The mapper forgot to upload a .bsp file (really? ).
  4. The archive is compressed more than once.
  5. Take a look at the sourcemod/data/mapdownload/temp folder and search for the error.
  6. Take a look at Issue 1.

• Database disk image is malformed
  1. This error can appear after server start when the database got updated.
  2. Increase the number of retries in the config,
  3. Or just restart your server again and it should work again.
     

Additional notes:

• You can also make your own database. Just download the Maplister Binarys and create a maplist.
  • You also can run the programm with the game number as parameter, to start collecting instantly.
  • When finished (All Maps: ~ 1 day), copy the created gamebanana.sq3 to the sourcemod/data/sqlite/ folder
  • If you enable mapdownload_update_database (default: enabled), you don't have to care about creating the database by yourself.

Woot, this is awesome! Then I can pre-view Left 4 Dead 2 Maps and Campaigns inside the game and download them directly to the Server.

This really helps a lot, if someone suggests a custom map for L4D2, which is not on the Server.

EDIT: I dunno if I did something wrong, re-following the instructions, but the plugin FAILED to load on my L4D2 server so far.

EDIT 2: Left 4 Dead 2 sadly is not supported, because system2 is not working with it

Errormessage?

[Maxunit]

Error Message was posted in the System2 Topic as well, which is:

[SM] Unable to load extension "system2.ext": /home/l4d2/left4dead2/left4dead2/addons/sourcemod/extensions/system2.ext.so: undefined symbol: _SpewInfo

[dordnung]

ah ok, but system2 should be independent too.

Rootserver or simple server?

[Maxunit]

I have a Linux Root Server with Debian x64 running.

If I want to load the MapDL Plugin, it tells me, that System2.ext is not loaded and if I want to load System2.ext, it throws the error i posted.

Hooly...
Great job man, this type of plugin (AddMap) was the only reason I would ever run Eventscripts, and I would've never thought it'd be up for SM.
For FTP support and bz2 you could look into tEasyFTP and the bzip compression extension.

+1 mini !

waiting the rar support !!!!! THANKS for the great work

What would be good and a idea is that the server tells the client to automaticly download the nextmap in advance so upon a map change it has a quicker connect for clients.

Plugins can change the nextmap at any time.

Heck, on TF2, the default configuration (without SourceMod or other addons present) will bring up a vote menu consisting of the 5 least played maps since the last server restart.
