When FastDL is setup, does SRCDS look for the mapname.bsp.bz2 file first, or the mapname.bsp file? For example, if the bz2 file is present, does it send that to the client instead of the original BSP?

This is how I do it, I keep the .bsp files on my server and put all my .bz2 on the external ftp. This will download the bz2 only.

Hope that helps.

SRCDS checks for bzip2 availability first, if it's not there it will download the normal files

Thanks Wink

Hazz, that's what I do with most of my servers. However one of my clients wanted a symlink to his maps/models/materials directories, so I set him up with FastDL that way.
