I need more clarification with loading a custom map on a dedicated server
-
So i have followed the pinned topic, but its just not clear to me.
I understand what i need to do in order to add a custom mod on a server, but the map part is confusing. I want to add cheese cube unlimited, so i created a usermaps folder in t4/ , but the set mod= in the .bat file confuses me. What do i type in after set mod? set mod="mods/mp_custommaps" doesn't work (no heartbeat response), neither does set mod="mods/Cheese Cube Unlimited v1.0" (it starts up the server but crashes WAW when i join it). Am i supposed to put Cheese Cube Unlimited v1.0 into T4/mods or leave it in /usermaps? And again, what am i supposed to type into the .bat file. (I have added map nazi_zombie_ccube_u into the map cycle)
Edit: Can i set up FastDL, so that my friends don't have to download the maps theirselves? -
Put them in both mods and usermaps.
The .bat file must say "mods/nazi_zombie_ccube_u" The same name as in the map rotation.You can set up FastDL, but honestly, if your playing with friends only just make them download the map themselves, its much faster that way.

DXontheradio Thank you, i will try this. Although i think i have managed to set up fastdl, i did something with wamp and i have a virtual host something like that idk im not a nerd lmao.

DXontheradio It seems that it doesn't work, heartbeat not responding again.
set sv_allowDownload "1"
set sv_wwwDownload "1"
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://tcb/games/cod5/"
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"
Here are the FastDL command lines, you can check the wwwbase url, is everything okay?
and after setting fastdl up, do i still need to have cheese cube in both t4/usermaps and t4/mods, or is it enough that its in the virtualhost? -
Yes, make sure all clients have the maps in the mod folder, however only the host needs it in the usermaps, although if your fastDL was setup correctly you dont have to have any files in the clients folders.
Unfortunately I dont have any exprience with fastDL so I cant help you there.
If that dosent work still, I suggest trying to use a different map, as it could be broken, or try redownloading it.

DXontheradio unfortunately the game crashes on client pc when i try to join the server, it says downloading 17% and crashes
-
I never set up fastDL so I dont know what the fault here is.
I suggest not using fastDL if youre just playing with friends. -

Is this T4SP or T4MP?

MarkoRS5 In T4SP you only need
sv_wwwBaseURLbecause mod downloading was manually implemented. It is currently not loaded from config directly, so set it using launch parameters.
