Insurgency - Custom maps - wont download to client

Post by chickenwing »

Greetings.
I am having an issue with custom maps on Insurgency. Users keep getting the error "missing maps mapname.bsp, disconnecting."

I have the following in the server.cfg (where mywebsite is, of course, my web site)
sv_downloadurl "http://mywebsite/insurgency/maps/"
sv_allowdownload 1

On the web server, I have tried with the maps uncompressed as well as bz2 compressed, and named ...mapname.bsp.bz2, mapname.txt.bz2

I can, via web browser, access the map files (and bz2 files), yet they will not download in game.
If I copy the map files to the local game directory, then the maps play fine. Just wont download.
Any ideas?

Remote the maps/ from your sv_downloadurl.

The download url should point to the root of a folder containing customized files.

Here is an example for our CS:S servers using
sv_downloadurl "http://soja.hosted.nfoservers.com/fastdl/cstrike/"

http://soja.hosted.nfoservers.com/fastdl/cstrike

As you can see, inside that folder is our maps/materials/models/sounds etc files.

Thanks soja! I did what you said, removed the ".../maps/" from the url download string and sure enough, works like a champ! I was really stuck, so thanks so much for the helpful advice!!!
