Getmap

From AssaultWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Getmap is a CubeScript command that retrieves the map (as long as it isn't secured) currently being played for the local client. Since AC version 1.0.0.4 the client is required to have the exact same map as the server to play in non-coop modes. This was result of a very easy way of cheating by just playing on a modified version of the map.

Issues

Some issues stem from Mac users using the packaged version of 1.1.0.4 as a couple of the official maps are of a different revision than the rest of the clients. Being official and secured maps, Mac users aren't able to play online if the server is using this map. These two maps are ac_arabian and ac_toxic.
