Download multiple maps easily

Hi,

This question is directly aimed towards webmaster. Since I asked this recently over contact form and got no answer:

I'm looking for a specific old HL2DM map I don't know the name, but remember visually. Would there be a way I could download all maps in bulk/batch via FTP or a plain file index list web or similar? Because obviously I'm not going to manually click on every single map through the designated web interface.

You may contact me in private.

Thank you.

Hey Adrianilloo,

So, the good news is I can post that download link for you and anyone else looking for a compiled list of maps from the SnarkPit below. It contains almost 500 maps from what I gather.

SnarkPit Maps Archive 2022-1023.rar [5GB]:
https://www.snarkpit.net/pits/riven/SnarkPit%20Maps%20Archive%202022-1023.rar

The bad news is threefold:
[list][*]Only maps that were directly uploaded to the Pit are available. Maps that were only provided with mirror links and not SnarkPit links are not available in the above download link.
[*]Most map files are not labeled with obvious titles, but instead are labeled with their database map ID, so you can look them up through the URL parameters by replacing the ID number at the end of a typical map's detail page with the ID of the map you're searching for. Example shown in bold underline below:

http://www.snarkpit.net/index.php?s=maps&map=####

[*]This is a download link of all maps, not just HL2DM. so you will need to sift through some of them, even though there is a subfolder labeled "HL2".

[/list]
BIG disclaimer: Use this file at your own risk. SnarkPit is not responsible for any damages or issues caused by the downloading of, or by the files that are contained in or part of the file in the link above.

Otherwise, I hope others find this link useful too!

Hi,

Thanks a lot .

I haven't found the map after looking at "hl2" and "22" (ID for HL2DM) folders from your ZIP, sadly. I already looked in other web map sources such as Gamebanana, 17Buddies and BOrganizer, too.

Perhaps you or anyone could help me find it (althought I know it isn't your responsability), as described here. It might be an old map that I saw around 2008 that mostly got lost, and possibly partly due to crashing after some update as with other old maps. Seems hard to find.
