Automatic map downloading broken

[Jools]

What happened to automatic downloading of maps? When trying to download I get:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error =>link to pastebin with stack list

It started appearing maybe two weeks ago, but tasclient hasnt changed. Maybe it has something to do with ZK disapperance? It's only maploading that doesn't work, games and other stuff with a rapid tag works still.

Other lobbies: Weblobby is the only lobby that can download stuff at the moment. NOTAlobby can download map and game but not engine.

Edit: got it to work with springlobby but Tasclient is still broken. Did the map download location change?

Step closer,
come closer, dont be shy! Step right up.
Where is the map location, gentleman?
On the left server, the one in the center where it started, or the one on the right?

Place your bets.. no regrets, you dont want to be a sissy in front of the ones you love, son?
Guess and be given, guess wrong and be gone.

blame TASClient for not having a bugtracker. I only can suggest to not use it as long there is no possibility of giving feedback, sorry.

no clue why some server gives a 500 error, without knowing the url it uses i can't help

and yes, very likely it broke do zero-k server changes, afaik some links changed from .asp to .aspx or sth. like that.

Silentwings please stay out of this thread.

Extract the zip to C:\Spring\Lobby\python\scripts (or where you have tasclient), and make sure you have a playing profile set up:

options->lobby options->program->spring settings profiles

then choose "playing profile" and select where you have springsettings.cfg

For example, I have my spring data dir at U:\bin\Spring\Data, so my settings file is at U:\bin\Spring\Data\springsettings.cfg and my maps go to U:\bin\Spring\Data\maps

This is just used to get the maps path. I couldn't think of a better way. If you don't have a springsettings.cfg there I suppose you can create a empty file called that. It should not mess up anything. Of course you can also hardcode your spring data dir in the script.

After that, you can download maps with /dlmap command or tasclient should also do it automatically.

It also needs pr-downloader.exe but that should come with spring

Edit: small change: now it doesn't cause tasclient to say unknown command after it is executed.
