ETpro Skins Download - Odd server admin problem

(ripthesystem) #1

Not sure where is best to post this but I’m really having a rough time here.
Sorry in advance for my n00bishness…

server running etpro 3.2.0
added 3 new pk3’s to the etpro folder (1 skin (~9mb), 1 sound(~9mb), 1 watermark(~20kb))
also running http://redirect for faster map downloads

Here’s where it gets strange:
Upon first time connecting to server you are redirected to the redirect and start downloading the new pk3’s. Goes super fast(~400-500kbps), downloads the entire thing… then, when it should just let you in the server, it kicks over to the the server and starts RE downloading the same .pk3 again only from the server(~8kbps) instead of the redirect.

OK, that’s odd enough. However here’s where it gets really strange:
If you delete all the .tmp pk3’s that end up in your ETPro folder, and just download them (from the redirect via web-browser) and manually put them in your ETPro folder, it works fine… sound, skin, watermark… no problem.

If you delete ALL of those working ones, then try to join the server (to attempt the redirect download again) it works fine! It will, from that point on download correctly from the redirect and allow you into the server.

I’m totally lost.
HELP!?

That happened to me to, pb kicked me when i first tryed downloading from the redirect, i think mine was because of a mpa change tho, also people couldnt download from my redirect because i didnt put a http:// in the redirect addy, but yet i could? Fixed now just thought id share.

Well it seems to work fine for maps as far as I can tell.
Here’s my redirect section of the server.cfg:

set sv_maxRate "13000"
set sv_dl_maxRate "42000"
set sv_allowDownload "1"
set sv_wwwDownload "1"
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://www.xxxxxx.com/Enemy_Territory"
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "1"
set sv_wwwFallbackURL ""

It definately connects to the redirect, as you can watch it download the file from there. Only upon completion, it d/l’s it from the server at ~3kbps.

Not sure if it matters but ours has

set sv_allowDownload "0"

hey ripthesystem is me Havok what server do you play now?

(ripthesystem) #8

Not sure if it matters but ours has

set sv_allowDownload "0"

as far as I know that just allows the server to host the download if the redirect fails correct?

Just make sure everything is there in the redirect!
At least it won’t start to re-download the files from the server then if you set that cvar.

I guess so but if it is then set it to 0 and it won’t download from the (game) server. You’ll just have to make sure everything is on redirect.

Can’t help to try?
