Re: [hlds] sv_downloadurl not working anymore
I've seen the issue with the trainling backslash also, but could not arrive at a definitive answer because the results were not consistant. At one time I added it, another time removed it. I just noticed in my autoexec.cfg my last sv_downloadurl was: sv_downloadurl "http://www.zootal.com/gearbox/"; OK, I added it back (and changed the directory to discourage leachers, or at least to help keep the honest honest :) - Original Message - From: "Mike Beane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 3:36 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] sv_downloadurl not working anymore Not sure it is the same, but I ran into this yesterday on my server and I had to add a trailing / to the url in server.cfg, restarted the server and it started working.

Re: [hlds] sv_downloadurl not working anymore
Hi, just looked my apache logs, there is still activity. As it is a client feature you may check if the client has the right value for sv_downloadurl. When you are connected to the server, just open console, type sv_downloadurl and let the auto-complete show you the value ;) Everybody can find out your http-dl url by looking the var and it makes no sense at all to hide your url ;) gr33tz, Hackmett > > >> it downloads from both places >> >> you seem to have some big sound files that players must download from >> your >> server > > I have barf.wav and bungholio.wav, both fairly small, in my res files, > most > of the sounds just sit there until I rotate them through the res files.
