Sure In the .htaccess (for apache) on the root of my domain i have included
Redirect /tf2server/content/maps http://the_maps_only_server.com/TeamFortress_2/maps/ And all my other content is in /tf2server/content (/materials /models /sounds) etc I tested it by deleting a map and all my custom 'other bits' and it worked when i changed the map then connected to the server. For completeness, the .htaccess in the /content directory is SetEnvIfNoCase Referer hl2://x\.x\.x\.x allow_download Order Deny,Allow Allow from env=allow_download Deny from all Replacing x with all the digits of your game server IP, theres lots of different ways it seems to achieve this but was the simplest i found so far (for source engine games only) On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Guy Watkins <[email protected]>wrote: > Wow, cool.
