How To Make GRAW Maps Available to Clients

[SNIPER231JRC]

After finally getting GRAW to run without the 2nd map lockup, I went and downloaded every single GRAW Coop map from GhostRecon.net

Having all these maps is great, but the only problem is most people don't have them so I need to setup my GRAW server like others do with auto transfer.

I need to know how make the maps auto download to clients when I am hosting. I have seen it in alot of other servers, but I cannot find out how to set it up.
If someone could please post this info, it would be appreciated.

Sorry this option is not available in graw.

I've seen it on alot of servers though

I think I found how they are setting it up since its not a normal function of the game.

To enable custom map redirect downloads do the following:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\custom_levels

Edit the above if needed, start the server up, make sure the server started then close it back down. Go back to the above:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\custom_levels

You should see a map_downloads.xml file, open the file and edit the information for each map. Here's my map_downloads.xml for an example:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;ghost_recon_3_map_downloads&gt;
&lt;map bundle_name="aw03_powcamp_tdm" address="http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/maps/aw03_powcamp_tdm.bundle" /&gt;
&lt;map bundle_name="aw04_ghosttown_tdm" address="http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/maps/aw04_ghosttown_tdm.bundle" /&gt;
&lt;/ghost_recon_3_map_downloads&gt;

So if I am understanding this right, my steps would be

-Launch IIS and create a new FTP access point for graw files
-Copy all custom maps over to the new ftp directory and set each ftp download path.

ftp://x.x.x.x/a_spec_ops_irene.bundle

More specifically
&lt;map bundle_name="a spec ops irene" address="ftp://x.x.x.x/a_spec_ops_irene.bundle" /&gt;

Here is the post where I found this info

I think Colin was thinking of GRAW 2

In Graw 1 you can enable download of maps as stated above.

I noticed you were thinking of using IIS FTP feature for this. I would recomment bullet proof FTP or another cheap shareware FTP to limit bandwidth and numbers of users who can connect..
