L4D - How do I get maps to automatically download?

[Aro2220]

I've made a VPK file which I hosted on my windows PC and my friend saw the prompt telling him where to download the file.

I put the VPK on my linux box running CentOS and added it to the addonlist.txt and I was able to run the server with

Code:

./srcds_run l4d -autoupdate +ip l4d.aro2220.com +hostport 27015 +exec server.cfg +map l4d_my_house.vpk &

The server runs and I can connect to it if I also have the vpk file. Otherwise it just kicked me out without showing me the link to the website with my file.

All that aside, I openserverbrowser in the console and join a random custom server and I noticed it automatically downloaded the map without saying a word.

Does anyone know how to do this? I am trying to make it so custom content hosted by my linux server using srcds will load easily for new players.

I think the auto-map download thingy only works with bsp/bz files (individual maps within a campaign), not vpk (all the maps for a campaign). If anyone knows how to do this for the whole vpk, I'd be curious to see how it's done as well.

I would be fine with it working like that. Could anyone tell me how to get that set up? I'm having a hard time finding information about this.

Neither Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 or Alien swarm supports map downloads, you have to download the map to the client by hand, as well as the server.
