Fetching Maps from a Website

[FlyingSpoon]

addEventHandler("onResourcePreStart", rootElement,
	function (startingResource)
	  fetchRemote("http://link.com/maps/",  
         function(data, errno)  
               if errno == 0 then outputChatBox("Error fetching maps: " .. errno) return end  
         end) 

		--Is starting resource a gamemode?
		if isGamemode(startingResource) then
			--Check if another gamemode is running already
			if getRunningGamemode() and getRunningGamemode() ~= startingResource then
				-- Initiate a new changemode sequence and cancel this event
				outputMapManager( "Initiating changemode from '" .. getResourceName(getRunningGamemode()) .. "' to '" .. getResourceName(startingResource) .. "'" )
				changeGamemode(startingResource)
				cancelEvent(true)
			end
		elseif isMap(startingResource) then
			--Check if another map is running already
			if getRunningGamemodeMap() and getRunningGamemodeMap() ~= startingResource then
				-- Initiate a new changemap sequence and cancel this event
				if isGamemodeCompatibleWithMap ( getRunningGamemode(), startingResource ) then
					outputMapManager( "Initiating changemap from '" .. getResourceName(getRunningGamemodeMap()) .. "' to '" .. getResourceName(startingResource) .. "'" )
					changeGamemodeMap(startingResource)
				end
				cancelEvent(true)
			end
		end
	end
)

So this is the default mapmanager, can't really figure out how to actually fetch the maps, so maps are uploaded via .ZIP format on to the website, and I'm trying to get all the maps, and load them instead of the default location [maps]. How should I do it?

Sorting out the zip and stuff should be handled by your website. From lua you can then read in the map data, save it then load it in.

Here's something that may help in uploading maps to your website: https://github.com/JarnoVgr/Mr.Green-MTA-Resources/tree/master/www/mta
