you cant the maps get downloaded in your cache and you cant play them in the format thair in so you only can play them on the server.

There is a program called Cache Extractor.... You can find it here.
http://204.11.33.157/invasion/
Under Downloads. Then select Cache Manager and downlaod it.
Once you download it , run it.
What it does is empties out your cache, then you can select all necessary files to be placed into your UT2004 directories.
What ever you do , try and not put the .U files into there directories......You will get missmatches along the way so just put in the ones that really necessary.
DO not delete them just leave them in the cache extractor list .
If any help is needed just ask and one of us will walk you through it.

ANd dont listen to this dipshit :wink:
Once they are removed from your ut2004cache folder, you can place them in there place as needed, then you just go to your maps folder and then they will be in the list.
As long as all files for the map are placed into there place then the map will show up in your map list.
But if you dont see a map in the list that you have removed from the cache extractor ...there is another file that is needed to play it, that you must remove as well.
