Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Get your maps here. (Minor update 2/24/08)

All of the map packs in the original post (the ones I didn't make included) were posted at the same time. They should all be the same as they day I posted them. I would find it quite disturbing if the third party map packs were being changed after they were published. I would be even more distrubed if it happened on the official ones. When I eventually do update the post with new packs, I will post dates for them.

The "updated" portion of the title was added to indicate that I had changed from a 1 pack structure (take a look very deep in the maps forum to find the original post) to keeping all of the packs separate. The change was made because I can't put a 1.7 GB file on filefront and I no longer have the massive bandwidth needed to host it myself (and updates would be painful). However, I will attempt to remove "updated" from the title.

I am aware that there are several maps in the packs I created (as well as the official packs) that are being downloaded from the server anyway. This happens because different versions of maps are released under the same filename and the server sometimes uses a different version than what is linked on the official map download page. The server can differentiate the different versions by calculating a MD5 sum for each file to compare what the server and client has (seriously, check the index file of the cache sometime).

On a side note, I have requested the MD5 sums of all the map files from our fearless leaders so I can verify that I have the correct maps in the future and possibly release a patch pack to fix the bad maps. However, as they just got a new server, I suspect that it will be some time before they have time to work on this.

Just updated it to add UCMP3.

new, updated, same old, whatever--I understand the frustration of thinking you were getting new maps or updated maps. Be thankful there are administrators and owners that try to keep the maps fresh, add new ones when available, and generally sinking their hard-earned money into the community when they could use it someplace else.

Remember, the UT programmers/players/creators for these maps will most likely move on to UT07 when it comes out, so we need to obtain all the maps available for UT04 while they are still around.

No one has or knows the exact number of maps available for the various types of UT04 games. So relax and enjoy what we have thanks to Dru and Shan, along with the administrators and programmers.

Sorry, I had to get this off my chest

Had to get off my chest:

Demon, I couldn't have even thought to say it better myself. Dru and Shan deserve out deepest thanks for putting up and maintaining this server as they have with their hard work and working with players to resolve any issues that may arise. I'm sure ut2k7 will be just as successful. I know I'm looking forward to it. You guys deserve a round of applause:

Cazius,

Do you still have the DC Mappacks 1, 3, and 4 available? 2 and 5 are still online.

I have them if nothing else.

Hey, I'm trying to download these map packs again, seems like they aren't on the site anymore. Could someone please rehost?

Caz you got to get us more map links

i'm downloading 4 at once and the 500 MB one is like 2 hours : D i have windows so -get us more maps!!!

just get your self this tool, utcachemanager, it takes your cache ut2k4 maps and put them in the correct place so once you download a map from the server you wont download again, you will have the correct map, and the whats best, most of the time, DC'ers play in what
20- 30? maps at most so you wont have to download the whole bunch of maps, and never use them..

OK, OK. I'm working on my personal website to include both the map packs and skin packs.
