hey,
i wrote a little script, mainly for my headless server, to download all maps from the mods-server that are not yet there.
it's a little bit dirty and the crc-check does not yet work on mashines without a graphics card (which will hopefully be fixed in the next mg version), but it works well for me
#!/bin/bash
cd `dirname $0`
MAPLIST=`curl http://master.megaglest.org/showMapsForGlest.php 2>/dev/null`
MAPFOLDER=../megaglest/maps # the folder to put the maps. must be one of the ones that mg checks for maps
GAMEEXECPATH=../megaglest/megaglest # the path to the megaglest executable. can also be the launchscript
LOGFILE=./logs/syncmaps.log
while IFS= read;do
OIFS=$IFS
IFS='|' read -ra ARRAY <<< "$REPLY"
if [ ! -e $MAPFOLDER/"${ARRAY[0]}" ]; then
echo "download map ${ARRAY[0]}" >> $LOGFILE
wget -P "$MAPFOLDER" "${ARRAY[4]}" > /dev/null 2>&1
#CRC=`$GAMEEXECPATH --show-map-crc="${ARRAY[0]%.*m}" | grep "${ARRAY[2]:1}"`
#if [ -z "$CRC" ]; then
#echo "crc-check failed - removed file" >> $LOGFILE
#rm $MAPFOLDER/"${ARRAY[0]}" > /dev/null 2>&1
#fi
fi
IFS=$OIFS
done< <(echo "$MAPLIST")
