Title: http/ftp download redirect Post by: Redshirt on January 27, 2007, 07:47:58 AM does 0.6.0 have download redirect via http/ftp in it or was that not until a later encarnation of ioq3?
I'd like to add a map or to my server but I dont want to force folks to sit through the dialup speed downloads.. Title: Re: http/ftp download redirect Post by: tw3k on January 27, 2007, 01:22:10 PM RTFM! (http://svn.icculus.org/*checkout*/quake3/trunk/README)
heh j/k j/k Quote Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Server) You can enable redirected downloads on your server even if it's not an ioquake3 server. You simply need to use the 'sets' command to put the sv_dlURL cvar into your SERVERINFO string and ensure sv_allowDownloads is set to 1 sv_dlURL is the base of the URL that contains your custom .pk3 files the client will append both fs_game and the filename to the end of this value. For example, if you have sv_dlURL set to "http://ioquake3.org", fs_game is "baseq3", and the client is missing "test.pk3", it will attempt to download from the URL "http://ioquake3.org/baseq3/test.pk3" sv_allowDownload's value is now a bitmask made up of the following flags: 1 - ENABLE 2 - do not use HTTP/FTP downloads 4 - do not use UDP downloads 8 - do not ask the client to disconnect when using HTTP/FTP Server operators who are concerned about potential "leeching" from their HTTP servers from other ioquake3 servers can make use of the HTTP_REFERER that ioquake3 sets which is "ioQ3://{SERVER_IP}:{SERVER_PORT}". For, example, Apache's mod_rewrite can restrict access based on HTTP_REFERER. Title: Re: http/ftp download redirect Post by: Redshirt on January 27, 2007, 07:27:43 PM I was looking at the svn... and didnt see it in the svn 0.6.0 was build from... I'll give it a shot
