I have to "clean" out some of the files to get round the looping download issue. This "should"/"maybe" fis it.
You may have to download .iwd files agin..but only once.
It SHOULDNT loop.
if it does...we still got a problem.
The mappack in the other thread
http://www.masheads.co.uk/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&topic=2245.msg22625#new is still valid.. you shoudl overwrite your old one..but i cm going to test now.
alternately.. it will only take you about 4 or 5 mins to dl each map ona 2 meg connection at most when you join the server/map. Either way ..you shoudl get the cleaned files.
