how do I add maps/mods to a dedicated server ??

[darcym]

Hi,

 

I am running a dedicated linux1.03a server.

 

I want to add some skins and maps and stuff to be able to download when people join my server.

 

Can someone walk me through how to do this ??

 

I think I unzip the pk3 files add the new maps / skins then need to set a download variable to be on on the server ?

 

Thanks

 

Matt.

yeah u just place the pk3 files into your servers base directory.

 

then in ur server config u need to add set cl_allowDownload 1

 

Then, if ur on a custom map and sum1 joins they will download the map etc - clients must have auto download enabled though, by default it's not enabled.

I'm not sure if cl_allowdownload works too, but I know the most common used command is

 

sv_allowdownload 1

 

and not

 

cl_allowdownload 1

 

 

Again the latter may work, but the normal way is the first "sv_allowdownload"

KnightHawk420 is correct. The cl_allowdownload is client-side only and sv_allowdownload is server-side only. Both the server and the client need to have their respective cvars set for a download to actually occur. One thing to note, however, is that only maps are downloaded. If you install a custom skin or model, it will not be downloaded. There is no way, short of including the skins inside custom maps or a mod to accomplish that.
