I'm wondering does anyone also have this problem? I have a dod:s server. I have no idea what is wrong. I have the server.cfgcorrect. I even have the res file correct. I put the res file in the maps folder in the game server and even the webserver. It just does not want to work. It doesn'ts the map only. Nothing else. I know linux is Case sensitive and everything. But i did it correct by the book. Why wont it work?
i had this issue several times, and it took a lot of work to sort it out. basically check all of these things (yes, im sure you have, but the slightest mistake will cause it to fail without ever telling you why). 1) case sensitivity 2) file paths are right 3) res file is correctly formatted 4) res file has the right permissions on the game server 5) all files that are on the webserver need to be mirrored on the game server as well (note, i have everything on my webserver bzipped, but the stuff on the game server isnt). lots of testing, lots of checking the error logs on the webserver to see whats requested and eventually i managed to solve the problems. since then it works brilliantly and sv_downloadurl hosting has saved us a lot of hassle. now the only problem i have is the ridiculous number of clients who connect to download something without providing the referrer - so its hard to filter out requests from other gaming servers who are attempting to leech files off my bandwidth. duncan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
