Galaxy Forge Maps and Multiplayer

Wanted to ask about an issue I'm having with making Galaxy Forge maps and having players join for a game. Strangely the only viable option right now is to have others download the files and place them in their folders, which is time consuming and frustrating for the other players and they give up too quickly.

We played a game that was made with the ingame Map Designer and each person didn't need to have the maps downloaded before game play--that map wasn't the best, of course and I decided to make some of my own with Galaxy Forge.

The question I ask is how can I simplify things for multiplayers attempting to join a Galaxy Forge created map without all the previous downloading?

Game type is Rebellion.

I know, it makes no sense. We pushed to add support for auto downloading galaxy forge maps in Rebellion, seeing as the clearly have the code written to do it for random maps, but it didn't make the final cut. :'(

Yeah, that would have been great. Now I have to make 'em all do the downloading and file placing, and hear the whining over TeamSpeak. LOL, must be Ironclad's way of making more computer savvy players.

Thanks for the reply!
