No One Lives Forever 2 - Mappack1.01

Ura & Spawn's .. ... Mappack

This is a Custom mappack and it could be the last big mappack you'd ever have to download.
This package comes with a new launcher and a updater. So when you click 'check for updates' in the
launcher it will start a updater that goes online to check for new maps and will download/install what you don't have. This mappack doesn't use the custom/resources folder, but you can still add rezfiles manually to that folder.

(update: The installer also includes a new version of nolf2srv.exe that supports hosting this mappack)


The mappack comes with a installer, so all you need to do is to download and install it just like any other program.
This also means that it will uninstall like any other program, if you choose to uninstall it, then all updates is uninstalled along with it.




Terms of use:

1. This launcher and the dedicated server is built from the public sourcecode from monolith, but is not a supported version of the launcher. It is community built and it is released "as it is".

2. No one but yourself is reliable for any problems this might cause on your
system.

3. This mappack is free for anyone, to host, play, download, look at etc. And
should not be sold in any way..


Questions and Answers:

Q: Mappack? what is that? and Why?
A: A mappack is a collection of levels/maps made by players, the reason why it is a mappack is because the game only supports 6 rez files at the time in the custom/resources folder. And ofcourse, if you don't have the map you can't play it either.

Q: So what's so special with this mappack?
A: This mappack is not based on rezfiles, it creates a new folder in your gamefolder than holds all the files/maps needed to play custommade maps online. And this also makes it upgradeable. And the new launcher that follows the mappack will have a Check for Updates button. When this is clicked it will contact a update site to check if there are any new maps to add to the mappack.

Q: Will it be compatible with other mods?
A: Yes, this mappack only holds resources in the loaded folder, and should also be compatible with Dan's upcoming CheatFix

Q: I installed the mappack and got a invalid shell - cshell.dll error!
A: Make sure that you have the official update 1.3 installed before installing the mappack. If you already installed it, uninstall the mappack and apply the update then reinstall.

Q: Can i still use my custom/resources folder?
A: Yes, you can

Q: Can i still use my custom/Mods folder?
A: Yes, you can

Q: Who will apply these updates?
A: At the time being the launcher checks a file at www.spawnsite.net for updates. If that doesn't reply it will check Ura.funpic.de and odious-things.co.uk. The plan is to have a own site for this, and a update team that creates these updates.

Q: If I installed this and wants to get rid of it again, how do i remove it completely?
A: You can fully uninstall this mappack, by starting the Uninstall Nolf2 CustomMapPack.exe that is located in your nolf2 folder, and also on the startmenu. This will also bring your old launcher back.
The only thing that needs to be done manually is to rename the nolf2srv.exe.old back to nolf2srv.exe since this was a update that was released after the first version of the mappack was released. The one that is available now also uninstalls the nolf2srv with the rest.
