== ~~Script~~ for resolving general download/extraction issues ==

== Utility for resolving general download/extraction issues ==

'''If you're dealing with extraction issues, or if your download is slow, corrupted, or getting interrupted,~~''' you can also~~ try ~~our script which should automate the process of pulling the game from the fastest mirror and extracting it properly for you~~.

'''The fastest and easiest way to download and extract the game is to use our dedicated downloader.''' If you're dealing with extraction issues, or if your download is slow, corrupted, or getting interrupted, this is a great alternative to try.

~~Download [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729601331114803281/981665454210826300/TF2CDownloadWrapper.zip this ZIP file] wherever~~ you~~'d like, open it, and drag-and-drop~~ the ~~contained folder anywhere else outside of it~~.

Ensure that you have at least 15GB of free space available on the drive that you run this tool on.

~~Enter the extracted "TF2CDownloadWrapper" folder, and run the "TF2CDownload~~.~~bat" script~~. ~~This should start rapidly downloading the archive~~ for ~~the game~~. ~~It may trigger a false-positive on antiviruses~~.

* Download for Windows: https://wiki.tf2classic.com/misc/TF2CDownloader.exe

* Download for Linux (suitable for desktops and dedicated servers): https://wiki.tf2classic.com/misc/TF2CDownloader

After it ~~finishes~~, it'll ~~automatically extract it into~~ a ~~"tf2classic" folder~~. ~~You can then move this to your sourcemods and follow the rest of the instructions at https://tf2classic.com/download to finalize your game~~.

Place the executable wherever you would like to extract TF2Classic (your sourcemods folder would be the best pick), then double-click it. After running it, you'll see the progress in a command prompt window. This application may trigger a false-positive on some antiviruses.

~~This script~~ is ~~designed for Windows~~. ~~It can also be used on Linux through Wine~~.

'''On Linux only''', you'll have to run it from the terminal. Right-click in the folder where you extracted it to open the context menu, click "Open in Terminal", then run <code>chmod +x ./TF2CDownloader</code> followed by <code>./TF2CDownloader</code>

After the download finishes, it'll automatically extract the downloaded archive into a "tf2classic" folder, in whatever directory the executable was placed in. Once the extraction finishes, the window will close.

If the executable is not in your sourcemods folder, you should move the extracted "tf2classic" folder there after it's done.

Then, follow step 4 of http://tf2classic.com/download to finalize your installation.
