I've looked everywhere and still have'nt found a solution

[dancore]

I've set up the websync for the fastDL but none of my players are downloading the models, materials. I went through the server.cfg and set the downloadurl to the correct address, sv_allowdownload 0 and sv_allowupload 0, but I'm still not getting anything to my players. I have another computer I use to test the server and I've checked through it's garrysmod files and none of my files seem to be in the folders. Would anyone know why my fastDL is working properly?

-dancore

btw I've also tried sv_allowdownload 1 and sv_allowupload 1

+also I've deleted everything on my fastdl website and synced... still nothing. I've also tried a forcedownload.lua with all the models and materials added correctly.

I spent some time tonight testing force downloading in Gmod and it seems to be broken with this release. I can't get it to work at all :/

[dancore]

Thanks for the quick reply, I ran into a forum on fp that was saying garry had broken the FastDL but that was back in April. Any idea when it maybe fixed? Or is there a way I can use the website my server came with so people can dl it off of there? I'm using an nfo server.

-dancore

EDIT- I've read that some server have they're fastDL working so maybe there's a way?

[kraze]

Our webhosting doubles as fastdl, all you need to do is go to the "websync" tab in your control panel and click on "sync files".

However, the game won't download things like materials and models to the client for no reason. Something needs to be calling it and the force download method solved that. If that is not working then you may be able to find an addon which replaces it but I don't know of any.

[dancore]

I do have a forcedownload.lua in my lua/autorun folder with

Code: Select all

if (SERVER) then
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/arms.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/arms.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat_b.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat_b.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat_exp.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/erdim_cylmap.vmt" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/erdim_cylmap.vtf" )
	resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/eric_facemap.vmt" )

...etc
But I didn't put it on the website because it's a lua.
Maybe there's something I'm missing?

EDIT- I did websync

I've set up the websync for the fastDL but none of my players are downloading the models, materials.

EDIT- and I've also deleted all of it and re synced it.

[kraze]

Yes, as I mentioned above the force download system built into GMod seems to be broken. We'll have to wait for a fix from Garry.

[dancore]

I just ran into this post from garry
http://www.garrysmod.com/2013/05/31/ste ... witchover/
Does this have anything to do with it?

[kraze]

That could've been when he broke it but the change over to SteamPipe wouldn't of effect the was force download works.

Hay there I know a bit about gmod and how it works

You need to add this, It forces the user to download it from the fastdl.

Code: Select all

sv_allowdownload "0"

I don't know how you have your fastdl setup but if its on a web site add this to the server.cfg

Code: Select all

sv_downloadurl "http://www.example.com/dir/garrysmod/"

Fixed the lua file :P

Code: Select all

-- lua\autorun\server\forcedownload.lua
if (SERVER) then
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/arms.vmt" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/arms.vtf" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat.vmt" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat.vtf" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat_b.vmt" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat_b.vtf" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/coat_exp.vtf" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/erdim_cylmap.vmt" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/erdim_cylmap.vtf" )
   resource.AddFile( "materials/models/fearless/mafia/eric_facemap.vmt" )
end

You never ended the code. Use that

resource.AddFile works on gmod13.
resource.AddSingleFile is the one that does not.

As for steampipe, That has just been a bitch to hosts and devs :/
Hopes this helps :)

[dancore]

Yeah I've had all those set up correctly. Still not working that way. Yep The url is correct. I didn't end the code because mine goes further down it was just a snip. Also its resource.AddSingleFile now I guess. Thanks though.

EDIT- didn't mean to bump this. sorry.

[dancore]

Wait so is there a way to get fastDL working with steampipe?

[kraze]

resource.AddFile works on gmod13.
resource.AddSingleFile is the one that does not.

In my testing resource.addfile didn't work but resource.addsinglefile did. I spent some time on it and confirmed it didn't work.

FastDL does work with GMod13, you just need to hit "sync files now" via the websync tab in your control panel.

I have but it's still not downloading my models for anyone.

EDIT- Wait so since I'm adding resource.AddSingleFile do I need to add everything or just the .vmt, .vtf, and .mdl?

Yes, things like models, materials, sounds..etc do not download because they are there, they need to be forced using the code above.

Try replacing resource.addfile with resource.addsinglefile and try again.

I have been using resource.AddSingleFile...Here I'll just show you the whole .lua

	resource.AddSingleFile( "models/fearless/wsuit09.mdl" )
	resource.AddSingleFile( "models/fearless/wsuit15.mdl" )
end

I don't see the problem.

EDIT- The resource.AddWorkshop works perfectly
