Re: [hlds] sv_downloadurl usage
In server.cfg enter the following: sv_downloadurl http://www.yourwebsite.com/sv_downloadurl Create a directory on your website called sv_downloadurl Copy the res, bsp, sound, etc. files into that directory. You do not need to copy ALL you game server files into that dir, just the custom ones you want to use. So, if I'm loading customer dod maps to the website I would extract the files from the zip. You should have folders like maps, sprites, sounds, etc. Copy those files/folders into your sv_downloadurl directory.

Re: [hlds] sv_downloadurl not working anymore
it downloads from both places you seem to have some big sound files that players must download from your server I have barf.wav and bungholio.wav, both fairly small, in my res files, most of the sounds just sit there until I rotate them through the res files. I don't like players to have to sit there and download too many sound files. The map might have had some bigger files, some of the kitkat and mario maps have bigger sound files, and those probably come from the server.

Hi, just looked my apache logs, there is still activity. As it is a client feature you may check if the client has the right value for sv_downloadurl.

Re: [hlds] sv_downloadurl issue
Content on linux/unix web servers is case sensitive, content on win32 webservers is not. For the BSP this can be complex since the map name mapNaMe.bsp as entered on the server console or in the mapcycle defines the bsp name that will be requested from the URL (so on linux/unix servers the case must match) then the content that is defined in the .res file and within the BSP must match as well, so a sound name that is sound.WAV requires that exact name and case on the linux/unix webserver too. Having a different case for the content in the .res file (from the actual content in the BSP) may cause the content to be downloaded (attempted) a second time, always important to have all content name/case match everywhere. One thing to be aware of though, if content with a space or other special character is not available, the client may display a truncated name in console for the failed content. For example, hldm server, + linux web server which does _not_ have this piece of content available: sound/music/don't_worry_be_happy.wav the webserver will flag the correct name: [Tue Nov 8 10:38:02 2005] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: valve/sound/music/don't_worry_be_happy.wav but the client will display a message that the failed download is: Error: server failed to transmit file 'sound/music/don' (client will properly d/l the file if it is available). Win32 HTTP servers just send it all regardless of case, assuming its available. So in summary (so it all works regardless): 1. server must have a .res file for the BSP locally and on the http server 2. content names in .res file must match content names within the BSP including case 3. content names on http server must match content names within the BSP including case 4. mapcycle name (or map as typed in console) must have the same case as the mapname on the http server If you are running any addon mod (like MANI or adminmod) that can force additional content down, be sure to disable this since if that content is not on your http server it will cause an additional connect/reconnect by the client to the http server as well. Any content not available on your http server won't be downloaded so there should be no bandwidth hit regardless of the number of failed attempts. - Original Message - From: Chris K [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 9:14 AM Subject: [hlds] sv_downloadurl issue I've noticed and had a few complaint's of an issue where resources are redownloaded over again upon reconnecting.

Sorry I was not trying cause a problem. Yes using a seprate web server is a great idea, my posts were targeting the guys that were having problems getting all the right files to there web share, my solution (and yes when large groups of players do not have the map there is a lag, but in my case it's the limit of transfer my server solutions has,I am only allowed so much of the OC3 pipe per second) makes it simple to install new maps, I don't have to worry about installing the map in more then one place. Every thing installed on the server is all ready made available to the web server due to the nature of the setup.

It was* recommended* to me (and I agree) that you shouldn't run them both on the same box. The numbers I gave were similar to an example given to me to explain why and I have certainly seen that situation come up. I was having a serious problem with momentary lag on map changes when a large group of players had to download the maps. File transfer uses considerable resources. If enough players are downloading a large map at the same time it will slow things down. I had a CS server that was almost entirely Custom maps with a couple of new ones added every week or so. I also had a CZ server with many Custom maps. We had a devoted following of players that played there, one because of the maps and two because of the High Speed Downloads that kept them from having to go get them. Having sv_downloadurl services on the same box shortened the time that the server was effected but it was still there. Moving the files off site to another location solved the problem entirely. My account at urldownload.com cost around $12.95 a month I believe and can host maps for all of my servers. I also have a friends development site hosted there with plenty of room to spare. I feel that it is well worth the money. Just my 2-cents guys. Sorry if it came across wrong. If you feel that you can run it on the same box then go for it. I found that with my

Re: [hlds] SV_DownloadURL
actually the gain is all the way around, reduces space utilized on the Web Server, the user when connecting to your game server pulls from the web server and does not take a seat on the game server until they have all of the required objects. Second the transfer rate is fast of course depends on your bandwidth of the Web Server. An area when people setup objects on thier web server is to insure you have a .RES of all of the required objects for custom maps. This should be on the game server, otherwise when people download they will be missing objects, sounds etc. Another item to remember, only the .BZ2 files are required on the web server. you do not require both the .BZ2 and the object non-compressed.

18 players of 24 that doesn't have the map you are running, doesn't sound real. And if so, clients will only download it once. You should be running a lot of custom maps to have this problem. And like someone else said, if you care about performance you will not run the server on a poor connection. The tranfers are also a lot smaller when only 6 people are playing, right? Also like someone else said, the game server it self is limiting the download when not using sv_downloadurl (to the rate settings?) My only reason to use this is to speed up that transfeer. Not to save the network load. -Alex -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22. september 2005 06:54 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] SV_DownloadURL Dustin wrote: My understanding was, that it allows for a faster download to the client.

Re: [hlds] SV_DownloadURL
Thank you all for answering my questions on this topic. Just for the
sake of the next person who tries to do this I thought that I would
summerise my experience.
1. Find webspace and put maps folder with bsp files into it
2. Set SV_DownloadURL (ensuring there is no forward slash on the end
and the folder that you set is has the same contents as the cstrike
directory, obviously just the bits that need downloading)
3. Changelevel to a different map to test to see if the downloads work
without compression
4. Download bzip2 [ http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bzip2.htm ]
5. Install into default location
6. { My computer properties advanced environment variables path
} add your bzip2 installation directory to here (it means you can run
the command from command prompt no matter which folder you are in)
7. Create a folder and put your maps in it
8. Create a .bat file (make a text file and rename it zip_maps.bat)
9. Put this one line in it
bzip2 -k -9 *.bsp
10. Run the bat file
11. Make 2 subfolders called 'original maps' and 'compressed maps' to
ensure that you don't re-zip the same files each time
12. Upload .bsp file to the game server
13. Upload the .bsp.bz2 file to the web server
14. With a new map, test

So in that case having a Web server somewhere on the internet would be a far better advantage. But come on, if your running a good game server one of the things you should be running on is a high speed connection.

It was* recommended* to me (and I agree) that you shouldn't run them both on the same box. The numbers I gave were similar to an example given to me to explain why and I have certainly seen that situation come up. I was having a serious problem with momentary lag on map changes when a large group of players had to download the maps. File transfer uses considerable resources. If enough players are downloading a large map at the same time it will slow things down. I had a CS server that was almost entirely Custom maps with a couple of new ones added every week or so. I also had a CZ server with many Custom maps. We had a devoted following of players that played there, one because of the maps and two because of the High Speed Downloads that kept them from having to go get them. Having sv_downloadurl services on the same box shortened the time that the server was effected but it was still there. Moving the files off site to another location solved the problem entirely. My account at urldownload.com cost around $12.95 a month I believe and can host maps for all of my servers. I also have a friends development site hosted there with plenty of room to spare. I feel that it is well worth the money. Just my 2-cents guys. Sorry if it came across wrong. If you feel that you can run it on the same box then go for it. I found that with my configuration I could not. Yours may be different. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] SV_DownloadURL
Graham, I've found the easiest way to do zip all files in BZIP2 format .. is like Rick said ... Put the Bzip2 executable program in your path somewhere (C:\windows). Then, put all the map files under one folder set (like fy_iceworld_adv) which might include fy_iceworld_adv.bsp and fy_iceworld_adv.nav. Other materials can be here too if they are used by the map .. But just make sure to upload them to the correct folders on your web server and CS server (like materials/etc instead of the map/ folder). Once you have all files in the folder, I've been using the following command-line with great success: bzip2 -k -9 *.* The -k option will KEEP the original files ... because otherwise, it removes them. The reason you need this is ... you will still have to upload the original unzipped file to your CS:S server - and of course, the bzipped file to your web server .. so you need BOTH sets of files (compressed and uncompressed). The -9 switch tells it to use maximum compression. I've seen maps cut to 1/5th of their original size and more. Truly great. Once you've zipped all files, then I ftp to both my web server and CS server .. and upload the BZIP'd to the web server ... and uncompressed to the CS server. Works like a champ. That 7-zip GUI program looks great ... but the only thing I noticed is that even though it adds RIGHT-CLICK ability in Windows Explorer .. you still have to zip EACH file individually .. and go through the GUI interface to do so. It seems that the command-line would still be quicker in this case .. unless someone comes up with a right-click ability that zips EACH file INDIVIDUALLY .. like they have to be on the web server. The only thing I've wondered about is ... I bzipped my SOUNDS that people download (like headshot.mp3 etc.) ... and each time someone connects ... it 'goes through' them like they are going to download them .. but just seems to be checking to see if they have the files. I'm thinking this may be because it can't immediately check to see if they have the file .. without parsing the bzipped file first (since the sounds are already uncompressed on their computer) .. and then it realizes they already have the file. Just a minor annoyance but I'm thinking of un-bzipping my sound files for this reason. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that. Good luck.

Re: [hlds] SV_DownloadURL
A diffrent approach. This of course asumes that your web server is on the same server as the game server. Why not point the Web server to the game directory? You do need to make sure that you configure the web server to only allow read access to the right folders and block out the cfg and other critical folders, be kind of bad to have your server.cfg file viewable from the web server. But if done right you would no longer need to worry about what files need to be added to the web server and any server created files would all ready be there.

To do this, you copy the files needed for de_generic to your webspace, placing them in a folder called my_cstrike in your webspace top-level directory Does it have to be my_cstrike, or what ever you choose as long as you keep the structure from the root of the web area? Why I ask is because I host fy_iceworld which needs de_vegas.wad to run. The map gets downloaded but then cs crash with en error message containing this wad file. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [hlds] sv_downloadurl
sv_downloadurl will download maps, wad files, sprites, models, sounds, and tga files. For this to happen you need to create a mapname.res file for each map that contains all the external files required by the map. Resgen at www.unitedadmins.com will automatically generate .res files for you. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Kobbevik Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 4:04 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] sv_downloadurl I found this tutorial for the sv_downloadurl setting.

[hlds] SV_DOWNLOADURL and Resource Setup
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I was looking at my server last night and noticed that there are download directories. I also notice that the RESLIST directory shows LST files which contain what appear to be the same data the old .RES files would contain. What was really exicting to me was to see that the custom maps in rotation have their own .LST files, to clarify, I have several custom maps on the server and those not in the map cycle are not showing a .LST file. Does anyone know how to setup to allow downloading of the additional materials for custom maps (sounds, textures, etc.) or is this being done automatically upon request to download by a given client attempting to connect to your server? From what I see, the .RES files are *not* working (see Steampowered User Forums)...

I changed my sound list recently, and haven't had a chance to upload all of the sound files. I'm not sure why it pulls the models from the server as I thought they were on the web site. That was a test to see if I could use non-standard models (which so far I've not been able to, I don't Steam will allow it). I probably should take them out of the RES files.
