uhh this downloadurl is in:
srcds > cstrike > cfg.

I really really don't think it's a problem with that though because we are not even using the downloadurl for maps. Never had to.

ok in one post you say you aren't using sv_downloadurl and in another you say that you are??? also try enclosing the site in quotes like sv_downloadurl "http://www.blahblah.com/cstrike" also is this server windows or linux? sometimes in windows you have to set the mime type else it doesn't know what to do with the files.

It's windows.

I use sv_downloadurl for songs, that's all. I've never had to (or even know to) use it for maps...[/align]

Oh that's the problem right there.

When you set sv_downloadurl you set it for EVERYTHING, maps, models, materials, sounds, everything.
So every custom file that you have on the server has to be uploaded to the location of the sv_downloadurl.

so now you are using it like this:
sv_downloadurl "http://www.blabla.com/cstrike"
in the http://www.blabla.com/cstrike folder you have sounds folder with all your sounds (http://www.blabla.com/cstrike/sound)
for maps just make http://www.blabla.com/cstrike/maps and put the custom maps in there.

when you set sv_downloadurl, you always use it for everything custom. If you don't people can't download stuff and you get errors.

Well somethin weird just happened.

I did what you said and added /sound to the sv_downloadurl thing.

But, when I went to turn on my server and select a map I didn't see any of the custom maps on there...
My maplist.txt is like this:
surf_rebel_resistance_final4
surf_110b_austinpowers
surf_egypt
surf_legends
surf_snow
surf_swej
de_nukes_b8
fy_iceworld
So I don't know why any of those maps aren't showing up now...?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough,

You don't have to edit the actual variable setting. The sv_downloadurl was set correct at http://www.blabla.com/cstrike

You have to make sure that on that URL, on the space you host your sounds it looks like this:
http://www.blabla.com/cstrike
|->maps (upload your custom maps in here, keep them on the server too ofcourse)
|->sound (this one should already exist, you have your custom sounds here)


So in your cstrike folder on the webspace you should have 2 folders, sound with your custom sounds and maps with your custom maps

That is how we have it. We did that with the maps and it made no difference at all. And still my maps in SRCDS aren't showing up?

maybe you should just post your real link, no one can leech anyway since it doesn't work. once it gets sorted out you can edit your post and remove it. can you download the maps by going to the site directly with a browser?

The Maps are not on the server.
We don't use sv_downloadurl for maps, only for the songs.
From what I know the maps should be automatically downloading for people without a host site being required.

Also people could leach off the site because the music does work.

if sv_downloadurl is set then it'll automatically use that for maps, it won't deal with it on the server, it ignores it elsewhere. go ahead, make the dir maps in cstrike on your downloadurl host, upload a custom map you don't have, set it on the server and watch it work.

We understand you're only using it for music, but you can't use it for just sounds, it must be used for everything normally downloaded from the server, chances are, it seemed to work before because the custom maps you used, people already had.
