Help needed with autodownload of custom maps

[Rock]

My clan has the files of our custom maps in the same folder as the standard Valve maps in the bzip format but they won't autodownload. Instead, any user who doesn't have that map already in their personal map folder gets booted from the server.

Obviously this is causing quite a problem with using some of these great custom maps and this is something that I inherited but don't know how to solve. Any ideas on solving this would be greatly appreciated.

do you have the

sv_downloadurl http://yourredirecthere.com

in your server.cfg??

 

[Rock]

this is what is in my server config:

sv_allowdownload "1"
sv_downloadurl "ftp://mckclan.clanservers.com/TF2"

As I was looking at this, I noticed that it might be missing one more part of the URL - the files are in a folder called "maps". Should this be

sv_download "ftp://mckclan.clanservers.com/TF2/maps" ?

The subdirecotry can't be "tf2". It has to be "tf" for some reason. I had this same problem before I fixed the directory structure.

Okay, so I'll rename the subdirectory from tf2 to tf - do I need to add the "/maps" too?

yes, u need to add the /maps to it for it to work. believe me, i know my terminal commands and file systems

Incorrect. You only specify as far as the /tf/ directory because any custom content required by the server (including sounds, materials and whatnot) will be pulled automatically from the correct subdirectory on the mirror. When the game redirects a client to download a map it will automatically look in the maps folder for it.

e.g. my sv_downloadurl is "http://www.apex-games.net/tf/"
