Redirect for downloading files problem

[sizif]

Hi all,

I have created Cod4 ind patched it manually because I couldn't make it work from TCA.patches. That didn't represent any problems because everyone is using latest patch so it's done. Now I have problem with mods.

When I create mod in TCA.mods it doesn't work because game engine just needs to have mods folder in root cod4 folder in user files.

I can make it if I make mods folder in root cod4 in userfiles and run it, add command line and it works perfectly. I make mods and configurations and my brother makes maps for cod4. Problem is that mods and maps are custom and when users try to connect they download mod an map with speed of 10-12kps.

I just can't force users to pull download from another location on the same server. It's starting to make me crazy.

 

How to make redirect to work or to allow users to download at full speed.

Please help!

Not sure if this is answer you are looking for,just fill in lines in server.cfg if you dont have those lines for redirect here you go:

 

Add the lines below to your server.cfg and put yout details where are those mods

 

set sv_allowdownload "1"

seta sv_wwwDownload "1"

seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://server_ip_here.com/cod4_fast_dl"

seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"

You basically need a download site/web site or ftp server in order to get faster download speeds for maps or mods.

gona order one and use it for all my customers

 

back to the topic :

 

your web mirror must have same structure as your game server

 

 

exemple :

 

http://yourmirror.com/mods/promod/mod.ff

 

 

and in cfg :

seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://yourmirror.com"

This is exactly what I'm trying to do.

Folder is located on C:download/cod4/

 

set sv_allowdownload "1"

seta sv_wwwDownload "1"

seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://XX.XX.XXX.XX/download/cod4_fast_dl"

seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"

 

...restarted server and it doesn't work. You can see that it tries but then returnes to default location. My server can view http://XX.XX.XXX.XX: -but with port, not word download. Maybe that is problem. I will try all possible combinations.

 

If You have anything that could help me, please do so.

 

Thanks!!

I think you might have missed to add MIME types on your web server.

You need to add '.ff' and '.iwd' in this case, as 'application/octet-stream'

 

You can try this by accessing the file through your browser, if they won't download - then you most likely need to add the MIME.

 

You can add new MIME types through IIS Manager (Win) on your webserver (consult Google for how-to)

Works perfectly, tnxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it was about MIME)

first thing to check when files cannot be downloaded in game is that they can be downloaded via a web browser.
