sv_downloadurl for hl2 dm problem <_<

[zeal3]

well i followed a tutorial on this site about sv_downloadurl for faster downloads and I think i knew what to do. Except when i tested it out by downloading a map and seeing the difference. It looked like it was downloading fast but it was actually skipping the file. In the end i got the message some thing like Missing File coop_flee_ravenholm_part1.

this is what i have in my autoexec.cfg
sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_downloadurl "http://cid-45929501705d9ad8.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/New%20folder/hl2mp"
net_maxfilesize 99

I think i have the right structure for the client to download and everything.
And yes i have the maps on the server aswell.
help please

dl http://legion-gaming.com/ff/coop_fleeravenholm_part1.bsp.bz2
then reupload it to your site

[zeal3]

nope, still didnt work... btw thx for the fast response.
and actually the error i get is couldnt crc maps/coop_fleeravenholm_part1
and can someone check if the file structure is correct on the website thx :p

[pengy]

The file structure is correct, might be because of the site that your using, try using http://legion-gaming.com/hldm as the downloadurl and see if it downloads

[zeal3]

nope still the same error ='/
still thx again for the fast response

[pengy]

Delete the map from c:/program files/steam/steamapps/accountname/half life 2 deathmatch/hl2dm/maps and redownload, then see if it works

[zeal3]

yes it works (im quite amazed how fast it downloads)
so is the problem the site im currently using?

[zeal3]

nvm it is >_>
do you know of any alternative ~free~ web hosters that are best for the sv_downloadurl command?

[pengy]

I dont know, try switching it back to the one that you had, i think it hosts the files somewhere else and not at that direct site

[zeal3]

i tried dl then cancel the copy dl link.
the link that came up
http://gjibvg.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pU3DpIxdF9TZefK1DlHTJg3hLQXGGbFDEgkbJFLXykd1221pVmwHGRezxc_5CTqrQpUf3SHIKVp8/coop_fleeravenholm_part1.bsp.bz2?download
does this mean it just hosts the file elsewhere?

[pengy]

yes, probably it means that it hosts it somewhere else.

[zeal3]

so.....since the msn skydrive web isnt for sv_downloadurl wat ~free~ file hoster is capable with sv_downloadurl???
