Downloading maps from server

Post by doulos9 »

I have an unmanaged linux VPS with a CS:S server up and running but whenever I put a map on that is not a standard map I get kicked with the message missing map. If I put the maps into my local maps folder I can play the map but it won't download either from the server, or downloadurl.

I had sv_downloadurl set to my NFO webhosting account - missing map.
Tried commenting out sv_downloadurl line - missing map.

I have done this countless times before with no problems one windows and linux.

Is there something I am missing here?

If you use sv_downloadurl, the map must be on the web server that you specify.

For example, if your sv_downloadurl is "http://mywebsite.com/cstrike/", the map must exist at http://mywebsite.com/cstrike/maps/mapfile.bsp

If you don't use sv_downloadurl, by default the maximum file size that can be transferred is 16MB. To change this set net_maxfilesize to 64. Any files above 64MB should be used with sv_downloadurl(fastdl)

Yes, I know. This is the full sv_downloadurl:

sv_downloadurl "http://clanfga.site.nfoservers.com/server" which works perfectly on my other stand alone NFO game server.

did not notice that I did not have net_maxfilesize set in my server.cfg.

Thanks.

Still don't know why fastdl didn't work, though. The map files are on the fastdownload server.

What is the name of a map that does not work?

I think I figured it out. For some reason the bsp file did not sync, though the nav file did.
