(squadjot) #1

Hey…i have this problem…

I want to host a test server for me and couple of my membs…but when they try to connect …they have to download all kinds of custom maps…even if im hosting oasis…or any standard map…

Is there a way to get around this?

thnx

Think it automatically downloads all pk3 files that are on the server (and are not on the client machine) regardless of whether it is the current map or even in the current campaign.

Solution is to delete or move all the pk3 files that are not needed from the server.

Try making your server not pure…I think the config line would look something like:
sv_pure 0

Don’t quote me on that cause I haven’t looked yet. However all that will do is allow you to have custom pk3s in your ETmain directory without requiring clients to d/l them. However, clients will need to d/l all the maps that apear in the campaign that you are currently playing.
