OK, I'm going bonkers here. I've tried to setup our Source server to use the fast download which looks pretty easy. I've followed tutorials including: this one
Long and short: It works for most people but not for some (including myself). Many people have commented on how much faster all of the maps load now and clearly the fast download is working, but on my computer when I try to connect to the server (if I don't have the map) I see all of our custom sounds & admin skins transfer but when it gets to the Map it says: Missing map maps/gg_aim_ag_texture_jungle-l.bsp, disconnecting
in my server.cnf:
sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_downloadurl "http://counterstrike.mydomainhere.com/cstrike"
under my web server I have: http://counterstrike.mydomainhere.com/cstrike/maps/gg_aim_ag_texture_jungle-l.bsp.bz2 which if I enter it in the browser prompts for download (and downloads fast).
Originally I mirrored my cstrike folder up, then later, after it didn't work, used a utility to bzip and send up my files to the site.
My web server is Linux based so mime types should not be an issue.
The part that drives me nuts is THERE IS NO HIT ON THE WEBSERVER. Since it's on one of my servers I can watch the logs in real time. I can see other people hitting the server but I can not see my client even try to request the file (so no get request, and no 404 - file not found error either).
In the CS:S console it says:
Counter-Strike: Source
Map: gg_aim_ag_texture_jungle-l
Players: 10 / 25
Build 3264
Server Number 95
No pure server whitelist. sv_pure = 0
Missing map maps/gg_aim_ag_texture_jungle-l.bsp, disconnecting
If I set sv_downloadURL "" in my server config I can trickle download the maps, but if the URL is in there it says Missing Map.
I've seen this problem on servers others than mine too. If I don't have the map and they have the fast download enabled I get the same error message.
other info:
If I download the .bsp file and drop it in my local maps folder it works fine
I have removed Steam & All settings from my machine and redownloaded everything. Had to even setup my display name, & sprays but I still have the same behavior as before.
I wanted to mention it last so it doesn't become a scapegoat but I am running Windows Vista. I've talked to other people who have run CS:S under Vista without any issue downloading the maps so I doubt that Vista by itself it the only cause, but may be part of the problem
I have tried setting the steam and hl.exe programs to run in XP SP2 compatibility modes (on the hunch of a friend) but still no go.
I know I can download the maps to my machine manually (especially since I play mostly on my server) but 1) I want to be able to play on other well setup servers and 2) I want to make sure anyone who comes over to our server can play easily.
Hopefully as you can see I have searched high and low (through this forum, other forums, & with google) for over 4 hours solid and found nothing. I've tried to include everything I've done so far but my head is bloody from beating it across the wall so forgive me if I've missed something.
Finally, I appologize if this is the wrong section on the forum. There seemed like so many places it could fit, it'd start here and move it somewhere else if more appropiate.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer!
