-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi List, I'm just getting around to con figging my Linux Team Fortress 2 server for general use and i need a few pointers/help/advice/answers - please!
1) I want the server to quit and then start again but be able to choose what map it starts with first. In the ../../orangebox/ folder there is a file called start.sh that i opened with notepad. It said this: screen -S server ./srcds_run -game "tf" +maxplayers 24 +map *cp_dustbowl*-ip xx.234.xx.69 -port 2xx0 -tickrate 100 -autoupdate +fps_max 800 I changed it to this: screen -S server ./srcds_run -game "tf" +maxplayers 24 +map *cp_orange_x*-ip xx.234.xx.69 -port 2xx0 -tickrate 100 -autoupdate +fps_max 800 I also eliminated dustbowl (and all standard maps for that matter) from maplist and mapcycle and included orange x in both files. I have mani-admin on the server which is running ok, and i have gone through all the cfg's to see if something is getting in the way, but i think its all ok there. When i quit the server and it restarts - it plays dustbowl and i am really stumped as to why. When i had a windows server i changed a similar file and it all worked fine. Really want some help on this please! 2) Fast Downloads (aka sv_downloadurl) - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!! What am i doing wrong !!! My dl'url is this: sv_downloadurl "http://www.##downloadurl##.com/tf<http://www./##downloadurl##.com/tf> " PLUS sv_allowdownload 1 sv_pure 1 The folder structure on my fastdl server is this: ../tf/maps/cp_orange_x.bsp.bz2 ../tf/maps/graphs/cp_orange_x.ain Now for some quirky stuff i have observed.... I have read masses and masses on this and came across this through trial and error. I KNEW i have set up the fastdl server structure correctly based on what i have read - so i knew i wasnt that. So guess it has to be the downloadurl playing up. I changed the sv_downloadurl to: sv_downloadurl "mysite.com/tf" (no forward http, forward slash, colon etc), restarted the server, changed map to orange x (because it bloody keeps starting on dustbowl - see question one !!) - then i joined the server and expected to dl the orange x bsp.bz2from the fastdl server or get the dissconected error. To my surprise the disconnected error did not happen - but it started to dl the map - but it was only a orange_x.bsp not .bsp.bz2 - and the dl was slow (trickle) so i guessed it was grabbing it from the game server itself and not my fastdl server. To make sure, i renamed the tf folder on my fastdl server (efftively making it invisible), kept the sv_downloadurl as "mysite.com/tf" and joined the game again. And it again dl'd the orange_x.BSP from my game server and not the fastdl server. But the downloadurl contained my bloody fastdl url and the tf folder on my fastdl server was renamed !! So wtf is happening!!! Please help - anyone who joins my server can only play if they have the map in their clients tf/maps folder. I have tried every combination - but something is stopping it from working..... Please !! - For the love of the list please help me !!!!!!!!!!
