http://www.eleanetwork.com/hlpmaps yields a 404 status. Your virtual directory is not configured properly or there are no files in it with names that correspond to the names of your game maps.
A good way to test that all is well is to set up your IIS vdir - and temporarily enable the "Directory browsing" checkbox on the vdir properties - then attempt to browse to it with the browser of your choice. If you get a directory listing of your map files, you are good to go. Remember to turn off directory browsing. One very player-friendly thing to do is to bzip all of the maps within your map vdir. (your map vdir should NOT be your game map directory). This substantially reduces the length of time it takes for players to download new maps. You can find a free download of bzip2 somewhere in Googlespace. There are all sorts of clever ways out there for automating the bzip process for new maps - but I just drag and drop a copy of the map to be bzipped on the bzip2 executable - and it automatically does the job and deletes the original file.

It seems that it was enough to open port 27015. Now I wanted to get some new maps for the players on my server and so I downloaded a mappack from fileplanet. I extracted all the multiplayer maps into my maps folder and edited my mapcycle file. Now everytime people try to connect they get the error: missing map <mapname>. Disconnecting. I put sv_download to 1 and my downloadurl to http://www.eleanetwork.com/hlpmaps which is a folder I created under my website root and thus should be open for downloads. What else do I need to do? thanks, Valdimar Kristjánsson, CTO 00 (+354) 693 2062_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; _www.eleanetwork.com_ <http://www.eleanetwork.com/> This communication is solely intended for the addressee, it may be confidential and it is not for third party distribution. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
