Can't load/change custom maps loaded on HTTP server

I added some custom maps onto my HTTP server in the corresponding directories but when I changelevel or admin_map the custom maps, it can't find the files. Also it's not showing up when I use the "maps *" command.

Half-Life Fast HTTP Asset Downloading so far only works for the other custom maps that NFo pre-installs on the system. Basically, only the ones that show up on the list from "maps *" command.

I also set maps_file variable to 0 in adminmod.cfg

every single file thats associated with the map MUST be uploaded, if theres one file missing thats critical, its going to stop from HTTP and end.

make sure you have everything needed, and assigned correctly.

Thanks for posting but I don't think that's the case because it doesn't even get that far. No action occurs because it doesn't know I have a custom map on the HTTP server.

For example, I load this map files to HTTP server

http://<website>/server/maps/cs_wildwest.bsp
http://<website>/server/maps/cs_wildwest.txt

modified server.cfg file to sv_downloadurl "http://<website>/server"

added cs_wildwest to mapcycle.txt

and restarted game server. I can't "admin_map cs_wildwest" in console or "changelevel cs_wildwest" via HLSW tool. Is there anything I am missing?

did you ever upload the map files to the gameserver? using ftp to the maps folder?

thats the first and MAIN place you should upload files to

the HTTP location is just for your regulars and newcomers to download the files at insanely speeds
