Downloading map saving problem

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-22 20:50:17 UTC

this is a strange one and im wondering if anyu of you know why our server is doing this…

I was cleaning up the server today and on our FTP down load site i cleared out all the stuff from the “etmain” folder and just left all the maps in the “etpro” folder

Now when i connect i download the maps i need i.e sos_secret_weapon.pk3 etc and alls well and i can play

BUT EVERYONE else has a problem, when they connect it starts to download the map and then after its finished it starts again… fails and takes you to the website

and there is is map to be seen… its as if the map just isnt saved anywhere

What causes this??? is it just because i deleted all out of the etmain folder on our website?

If you want to look…/-Public 195.62.10.135:27960

P.S it works ok if you have the maps already downloaded (**thinks - maybe this is a good way to keep out n0-0bs :eek: )

Calzonzin · 2005-06-22 20:57:04 UTC

Yes. Maps go on /etmain.

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-22 21:10:50 UTC

what you mean?
so they have to be in the website/etmain folder
and not the website/etpro folder

or they have to be in both?

SCDS_reyalP · 2005-06-22 22:05:08 UTC

No, maps need to be in etmain, both on the game server and the web server. Anything that is in etpro on the game server, needs to be in etpro on the web server.

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-22 22:17:24 UTC

so if running etpro…

you need it in both etmain and etpro… taking up 2x the room

SCDS_reyalP · 2005-06-22 23:19:13 UTC

NO! :banghead:

Maps go in etmain. etmain ONLY. Only in etmain.

etpro .pk3 goes in etpro. ONLY. Some maps come with ‘etpro only’ .pk3 files, which contain etpro specfic shaders. These should go in etpro, and NOT in etmain.

DO NOT put maps in etpro.

Clear yet

dumdidumdidum ^^

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-23 14:25:20 UTC

well people are still getting problems even when setup like you said

You sure it dosnt have to be in both etmain and etppro folder on website?

eRRoLfLyNN · 2005-06-23 14:28:08 UTC

The maps definitely only need to be in etmain

Did you restart the server after you moved the files?

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-23 14:44:06 UTC

ok, i took all my maps out of my game…

I uploaded sos_weapon to both etmain and etpro folders on the website and the others JUST to etmain

Result:-

sos_weapon downloads from www.net-clan.com/wolfweb/etpro (so thats the etpro folder and not the etmian folder)
and then it crashes and redirects me to website for other maps

so it looks like it needs to be in both folders for some reason

The maps definitely only need to be in etmain

Did you restart the server after you moved the files?

yes i did but i dont thiunk you would hasve to as its not the server thats making changes?? its the download website

maarten144 · 2005-06-23 15:12:52 UTC

the maps need to be in the etmain folder of you ftp. Furthermore the players need it in there etmain, the link to download maps shouldnt be /etpro but /etmain afaik. Every server ive been on as also lw server use a website which ends with /etmain to download maps. So i think there is your problem, cause u downloading maps from /etpro and not /etmain so change your server cfg to a link containing /etmain

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-23 15:44:51 UTC

Well the server.cfg looks like this…

//Downloads

set sv_maxRate “25000” //10000 standard but poor for ET
set sv_dl_maxRate “99999” //increase/decerease if you have plenty/little spare bandwidth
set sv_allowDownload “1” //
set sv_wwwDownload “1” //
set sv_wwwBaseURL “http://www.net-clan.com/WolfWeb”
set sv_wwwFallbackURL “http://www.net-clan.com/WolfWeb”
set sv_lanforcerate “0” //0=stops ET forcing players to LAN settings if they have similar IP

and the /etpro is added by it self i dont tell it to look in etmain or pro

Thanks for all the help by the way…

eRRoLfLyNN · 2005-06-23 15:45:13 UTC

The server needs to know where the pk3 files and reload them, that’s why you need to restart the server

On your server just put the maps in etmain and delete them from etpro, make sure on your website the files are in a folder called etmain, and that your server.cfg is pointing to there ie if your files are in a folder like mydomain.com/et/etmain, the line in your config should read mydomain.com/et (The game defaults to look for a folder called etmain)

Then restart your server

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-23 18:19:59 UTC

omg this is doing my head in

It has to be in BOTH etmain and etpro folders on the website to download proparly
if i place it in just 1 folder it dosnt work

eRRoLfLyNN · 2005-06-23 19:17:50 UTC

Please try with the maps only in etmain on your server & on your website. That is the way it’s supposed to be.

Nail · 2005-06-23 20:00:51 UTC

you’ve borked your redirects, thats why you have probs

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-23 21:03:14 UTC

Please try with the maps only in etmain on your server & on your website. That is the way it’s supposed to be

I did but it didnt work

_NeT_WalBanger · 2005-06-23 21:33:21 UTC

No it doesn’t. If this ‘fixes’ the problem, you are doing something wrong.

It is very simple. Maps go in the game and web servers etmain directories. If you previously had maps in the game servers etpro directory, you may need to restart it to recognize that they are gone.

Make sure that the files are exactly the same, and the the names are all the same case. Make sure that the web server can actually serve the desired files (by manually connecting to the URL). Make sure that the url ET clients try to download from is actually what you expect (look in the console when it goes to download).
