64 is the max value for that net_maxfilesize and you propably need to restart the server so changes take effect. I have encountered few maps in the past that did not download at all without having a separate download host to maps and every server that really wants to keep their players, provides one anyways. It's very annoying to wait those maps to download slowly while the maps could be gotten in just 5-20 seconds instead.
Sv_downloadurl "http://site.address.com/~userid/whatever"; is a separate webhost for all the custom stuff you have on your server. The benefits are that you can bzip2 pack everything (like those map bsp's) and clients then automatically download and open the packed content in their games. Usually maps get packed to 30-70% of their original filesize so that 20 megs map would pack into 7-15 megs instead = less download time and faster downloads for players. Downside is that these hosts require quite a bit of bandwidth so if you got like 5 Gigs a month allowed traffic, that is enough for like 1 day but if you just test the maps out like that, its not a real issue. Just keep sure you have same custom content on the server AND in the download host. Otherwise if something is missing from the host but is on the server, the missing stuff wont download - at all. -ics Major Johnson kirjoitti: > Even with net_maxfilesize 99 it wasn't working. > I'll look into downloadurl host, as I don't think that's what we're using > (redirecturl the same thing, different?) > > Draco18s > > > On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 6:10 PM, ics <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> The max allowed map download size without sv_downloadurl is 16 by >> default.
