ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?well mine worked but now it says "server is requesting fy_poolparty_v3.bsp" but i put it in .bzp2 in my ftp but it wouldn't self extart..? what?

[realchamp]

FTP = File Transfer Protocol, yes it's just a program. I think he thought that he got FTP - Access to he's webhotel, and uploaded the files from there, and yes that works! He's subdomain is a "webhotel" with a URL, so it should work.

[Mooga]

Yes, if it's on a HTTP site it will work.
It will not work if it's just on a FTP server.

please help ?

errrr can someone replay ASaP?

The whole point of .bz2 is that it DOESN'T extract, it's supposed to stay small so it downloads easier for clients.

ya but it wont work? like it shows you must hAVe map.sp but i just downloaded .bsp2

[Ghost Assassin]

The reason why you compress .bsp files into .bz2 files is to make it much quicker to download the map to the clients. If you weren't to compress it, then it would take some time to download the map depending on the size of it. Btw...the website your using...I wouldn't use that kind of free web space for your sv_downloadurl. Maybe try http://urldownload.net/ or http://www.diino.com/.

Like i mentioned in a previous post, you need to follow these steps to ensure your fastdl works properly.

1. Create a directory on your webhost to something like this: http://www.mydomain.com/fastdl/css/
2. Within the game folder (in this example it is "css") you need to have a structure as follows: cstrike/maps | cstrike/sounds etc.
3. Once you do that, upload your Bz2 maps into the map directory on fastdl host
4. Once the above is completed, check to make sure you can access the maps via http ex: http://www.mydomain.com/fastdl/css/cstrike/maps/de_dust2.bz2
5. Once that is completed, fill out your server.cfg with:

sv_allowdownload 1
sv_downloadurl "http://www.mydomain.com/fastdl/css/"

6. Save and restart server.

That should help you out, if the admins want, feel free to move this to the tuts section.

*EDIT* We do offer free fastdl support if you need one setup for you.
