Servers can't have custom maps yet?

Post by **mybigfatpipe** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 3:05 am

So I put up that nice q4dm1v2 remake that Doomer fixed up onto my server. It's been empty since

Reading here a bit more, it seems really we can't quite do that yet right as admins? Unless all those that connect already have the map, right ?

Just needing some confirmation please. I really want to run the map and the others coming out, but think we may need to wait unti a SRK/point release deal that allows auto downloading...or something like that.

not yet, working on it.

Thanks Denz, I'm super patient

Just didn't want to pull the map if it was a mistake on my part....

But then I got to thinking that the map, and the "no bob" stuff, and the "greenskins" paks were keeping people from connecting.

Appreciated as always!

Custom map support is basically broken. Even if you do make an addon.conf and set it up correctly, players cant vote for it. Hopefully it will be settled with a new patch.

was typing as you posted Riddla. Grabbing a fresh drink, a quick cig and I'll try that and let you know.

Thanks Doomer!

Nevermind Riddla

I'm just gonna go play and wait a bit to get my server all fancied up. I really want to focus on it being a custom map server.

G'nite!

Any takers? or have you guys tried this too?

I have tried it, no go.

I know!, bummer man.

Now if anyone wants to right a config for my server I will be glad to upload it.

I found these two settings.....maybe those more in the know can tell if some of our answer lies in this:

seta net_clientDownload "1"
seta net_serverAllowServerMod "0"

Wonder if setting it to 1 on the second one gives us Power

Of course, I've just stripped all the excess files from my server

Try this:
seta net_serverAllowServerMod "0" //allow server-side mods
seta net_serverDlBaseURL "" //exact URL to folder containing custom pk4 files
seta net_serverDlTable "" //custom pk4 names allowed to download
