Not too sure if this will help, but I have a web server running on my srcds game server, and utilise sv_downloadurl to push files to the client.
I use CSRSC (Counter Strike Redirect Server Checker) to scan my SRCDS CS:S folder, and it creates bz2 copies of everything that isn't in the default GCF's (I think?!). I believe you can get it from here: www.brainless.us All I have setup is IIS, with a virtual directory pointing to the output from CSRSC. Works a treat. Not sure if I even setup all the MIME mappings actually, however I am running IIS 5.1 (the default in WinXP) so who knows. I haven't had any complaints about lag from resource downloads... yet ;) Regards, Adam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Valdimar Kristjansson Sent: Friday, 18 August 2006 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Maps not downloading 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. My MIME types weren't described as application (don't know if it matters) 2. I hadn't allowed scripts on the virtual directory (it's off by default) 3. I changed my sv_downloadurl to http://myIP/MyVirtualDirectory/hl2mp It might be that the hl2mp directory within the virtual directory did the trick. I just put the maps folder in my virtual directory. This can thus be thought of as possible problems for allowing downloads with IIS :) See Frazers guide below for the solution.
