# hl1-fastdl-download-maps
This simple script downloads GoldSrc maps specified in a text file from a FastDL server you specify.
FastDL servers are used in-game to download maps and other resources faster.
The script **is resources aware** and if a `.res` file exists for the map on the FastDL server,
the `.res file` and all resources in it, get downloaded as well, while keeping the correct directory structure.
You can get a FastDL server's URL simply from the console after connecting to a server with FastDL, the in-game console will print:
```Using http://127.0.0.1/ as primary download location```
or
```Saved http://127.0.0.1/maps/map_name.bsp to disk```
where "http://hostname/" is the URL.
An example map list with the correct format (one map per line)
is available in the **[saved-maps.txt](saved-maps.txt)** file.
# Usage
```
usage: download_maps.py [-h] [--fastdl-url FASTDL_URL] [--map-list MAP_LIST]
[--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR]
Download .bsp files with all the resources (based on .res files) from a FastDL
server based on a text file list
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--fastdl-url FASTDL_URL
Specify a base FastDL url (WITH gamemode folder name!)
for downloading
--map-list MAP_LIST Specify a filename of a newlined list of maps (and
their resources) you wish to download (1 map per line)
(default: saved-maps.txt)
--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR
Specify a base directory in which the downloaded
directory structure will be saved to (default:
downloaded_maps/)
```
# Known bugs
* The script doesn't check if the file was actually downloaded in its entirety (it only checks if the file exists), because I'm lazy
* Script is non-portable (path splits are basically hardcoded), working on Linux/Unix only.
* and a lot more, probably, that I already forgot.
# Requirements
* Python 3.6+ *(3.5 if you remove F-strings)*
