redirect issue
« on: February 23, 2009, 10:08:17 am »
When the players start to download form my redirect it lets them get about half way then the game crashes. Any clue why this would be happening.

redirect directory

all the usual, whats your redirect and gameserver setup ?

which files are you using - custom maps ? your rotation ?

are you using the x5 mod ? are you cleaning any of the maps' iwd files of unneeded folders ? all an iwd should have are images and sounds folders.

the iwds have to go into the mod or x5 folder on both the redirect and the gameserver.

the rest of the map files have to go to a folder called usermaps that sits in the root of the gameserver and sits in the redirect like so -

http://myredirect.com/cod5/usermaps/mp_mapname/mp_mapname_load.ff etc ....

sorry, didnt notice the link.

yah the file structure looks good on your redirect.  The game server should show mods and usermaps folders in its root, with the same files in their folders as on the redirect.

clean the iwds - open the map iwd in winrar - if theres any folder besides "images" and/or "sound" delete the folder while the iwd is open in winrar.

Same thing for files in the iwd - where you see the images folder, if there is for example, an .arena file, delete it.

now upload  the cleaned iwd to the game server and to the redirect

I think you are 100% right Marc

Clanservers only gives you 100mb of space for a website, and the mp_x5.iwd is 26mb, not 10mb like on the website
