hey i have a problem, everytime i connect to the server which is running the rocket arena 4 mod i get this problem when i try to autodownload the map... for some reason the server always drops the 'a' in arena, which then makes the download fail.

if this a bug or can it be fixed?

download for 69.xxx.xxx.xx:1905: http://www.disposablethought.com/bigjer ... 4beta1.pk4


here are the cmds im using in the server

seta net_serverDownload "2"
seta net_serverDlTable "*"
seta net_serverDlBaseURL "http://www.disposablethought.com/bigjerknerd/

Check to see if it still happens when you set:
seta net_serverDlTable "rena/antira4beta1.pk4"

Explicitly.

Na, you're wrong. Theres two fixes you can do.

1. upgrade to 1.2.1 - currently only available for linux, although the fault applies to Windows as well.

2. Remove all trailing slashes from fs_*path cvars. This includes fs_savepath, and fs_basepath. ie:

./q4ded.x86 +set fs_savepath "/some/dir/" <-- bad
./q4ded.x86 +set fs_savepath "/some/dir" <-- good

See TTimo's .plan update re 1.2.1:
