Thumbnails updater for Zorch's menus
« on: July 07, 2008, 01:58:23 PM »
This will download thumbnails from the DP Resource Map DB for Zorch's menus.

You need Zorch's menu, and you also need to install Python 2.5 (or 2.4).
Get Python here: http://www.python.org/download/

Extract this to your Paintball folder:
http://digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/downloads/addons/pball_scripts.zip

Once Python is installed, you should be able to double click on updatethumbs.py in the scripts folder. The script will contact DP Resource's server, get the list of thumbnails, and download only what you need.

You may want to delete all the current thumbnails in pball/pics/mapshots before you run the script because the thumbnail files that came with Zorch's menu are really large (~35 KB), while these thumbnails from the map DB are only around 2-6 KB.
