What I have is an aspx page in my download url sv_downloadurl "http://game.server.i.p/?f=";
When the server gets a request default.aspx?f=/maps/de_westwood.bsp for example, I stream out the /maps/de_westwood.bsp from the game server directory. I limit the files that can be streamed by coding the "approved file types" in my aspx file. For example, I allow txt,bsp,wav,tga,mdl,wad,bz2,dem. Any other requested file like /server.cfg would return a 404 error in the code. I do not have to move any files. Your server will not lag if you have enough bandwidth. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Williams > Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 2:53 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds] Maps not downloading > > i personally think that it was moving the map foldet to the virtual > directory. the true path to my sv_downloadurl folder is > http://www.noquestionsasked.co.uk/httpdocs/sv_downloadurl but it shows > up on the internet as http://www.noquestionsasked.co.uk/sv_downloadurl > (btw don't try and access it as i have turned off directory > listing. so > it will just error out on you). > > i'm not too hot with iis. i get my webserver host to worry > about that. i > just thought i mention your setup now sounds similar to mine. > > Valdimar Kristjansson wrote: > > Hi Frazer, > > > > As usual I'm amazed at the level of help. > > Followed the instructions and voila, I'm up and running :) > > > > There are a few things that could have been the cause of my > problems: > > > > 1.
