I know we are given unlimited bw, but maybe it would be in NFO's interest to protect their own as a whole? The fact that any person who wants to run their own Dedicated Server, could potentially use NFO's bandwidth to provide FastDL functionality without having to pay for any webhosting.
If a person was knowledgable enough to learn how to run their own dedicated server I think they would easily know how to grab the downloadurl when connecting to a server with a custom map. I realized that aslong as NFO provided unlimited bw for webhosting with customer's accounts then it doesn't personally affect the customer. But maybe it could be a way for NFO to further protect their assets and keep their bw use within its customer base rather than letting freeloaders abuse your network.
You guys still provide a great service so its no skin off my back with this potential issue. First, you need to get hold of some web hosting, free or paid. Here we are going to copy exactly, the structure of your game server. The rest is simple. Upload your custom maps including all the files that they come with to your maps folder. If you want to add skins, sounds etc, then these also need uploading, again, using exactly the same structure as your game server.
Go to the file editor, and select to edit server. If you have uploaded your folders and files correctly, you should be able to load and see:. Are you a current customer?
Have any problems? Your email address will not be published. Skip to content. You can keep the addon normally on the game server, but on the webserver the extraction must occur. Look below for an example. You do not actually need to upload any gamemode files whatsoever to Fast Download. For example:. Content works similar to that of the addon format. If you can understand one, you can understand the other.
That is the general usage of Fast Download covered. However, below is some help, along with some tricks you can use to help your server and your players in the long run. SourceRSC can update your fast download server automatically. If custom content is missing from the fast download server it will bzip the files, create the appropriate folder structure, and properly 'virtualize' the addons and gamemodes folders on the fast download server.
Supports accessing the game and fastdownload server locally or with FTP. Works on Windows and Linux. Bzip2 is a program which can be used to significantly reduce the size of the files on the Fast Download server. Source natively supports Bzip2, so it's known that this will work.
This means a 50mb file can be 15mb or less, allowing players to download it faster. This also means if you have bandwidth limits, you'll save bandwidth with smaller files. Every single file that can be used by Fast Download can be Bzipped. However, the files on the Game Server must be the original files. Only the Web Server needs the bzipped files The normal files do not need to be on the web server if you use Bzip2. Once the files have been uploaded to the Fast Download server and put in the appropriate places , that's your work done.
Source automates the rest, when the client downloads the file, they'll be automatically unzipped and cached etc.
