Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

I'm thinking about renting a COD2 server too and am looking for a FAQ or tutorial discussing server configuration. Got anything?

Good to see you on the server Supernuker.

The monster plugin seems to be working well enough; puts a new twist on the game to have a zombie pop out and start swinging at ya.

PS: all the maps are FAD supported for super fast automatic downloads.

The Halloween mapcycle is running now through the 31st. Here's the list: de_curse de_giantpumpkins as_moria cs_rhs22 black_light_fight de_haunted cs_castle_nightV2 ff_trainstation blahhhh de_night deserted_island doom_villa2 cs_wolfenstein 4darkrooms de_motel_x csde_bridge dm_hellway666 cs_highsocie...

I'm considering installing this CS1.6 plugin for a special Halloween mapcycle: http://www.ravenousbugblatterbeast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/BugblatterPlugins/plugin_blatt_monster/Docs/index.htm Anyone have any experience with this? Also I'm looking for scary, spooky, creepy, or wierd CS1.6 maps that woul...

Update: The .res file worked, but only after I went into the FAD directory and changed all the UPPER CASE file names to lower case . All the files were then downloaded via FAD instead of trickle-down off the server. Thanks again. Anyone else having problems with FAD make sure to check the file names.

OK got another one for you!

Everyone on the server is experiencing a dumping of console content every 2 or 3 maps. I can't see the error code when it happens, it happens so fast. Just wipes the slate clean. What gives?

Thanks! I have added the res file and will keep an eye on it.

The map I first noticed this on was de_odile. The sound file, as well as several models and sprites, are in all caps. Those were the same files that were coming back as "file does not exist" even though they are both on the server and the FAD. I compared the server directory and the FAD di...

Hmm the res file idea might be worth a try. To clarify for anyone else following this: The ztmp files are only on the server, not on the webspace. But when the server turns to FAD for a file, it looks for the name of the ztmp file instead of the original, and because the name in FAD is different tha...

Thanks b0oya Is the .ztmp file a component of the FAD system or is it something that NFO decided to do independently for efficiency? If it is part of the FAD system maybe someone just needs to update it to remove that bug and make it so that the .ztmp files are named in whatever case the original fi...

If I read that right, what you are saying is, "If the files are in the FAD and in the map itself, they should be downloaded from the FAD and not the server." Is there a way to verify if that is true? I mean, it sounds logical to me, but if we're wrong, it might explain a few things. There'...

OK, I understand that, but what if the files are in the FAD directory but NOT in the server directory?

So this is a problem with linux webservers only? I wonder if there is a setting within the sv_downloadurl that could be adjusted to specify that when a .ztmp file is created that it use the same case as the original file it is copying. That is the root of the problem; making a .ztmp file that matche...

I found some lines in my CP that said the file "does not exist" on my webspace (for use with FAD), but when I checked, the files were there. Further investigation showed that all of the files that FAD said did not exist were in all upper case letters (that's how the mapmaker named the file...
