FastDL not forcing people to Download models or materials
31 replies, posted
When I set up my FastDL on my webhost I uploaded all my models, materials, maps, sound, and resources and set my sv_downloadurl to my webhost at [url]www.zombieslayergaming.com/garrysmod[/url] but when I join the game none of the models download nor materials or sound. please help
Nice double thread post, anyways. Are sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload both set to 0?

yes they both are but I have tryed setting to 1 and it didnt do anything
That's not how FastDL works. You need to mirror base GMod directories, so you only need a maps, materials, models, sound, and resource folder. Delete the .zip files and the other random files. Also, all files need to be packed into .bz2 format -- use this program: [url]http://tjservers.org/files/bzip.zip[/url]
Lastly, you need a resource.AddFile file.

The FastDL is setup correctly because I have the folders there and I have done resource.addfile but it still doesn't download
Did you even read what I said? They're still not in .bz2 format.

I have tried that before I posted this thread and it did not work.
What didn't work about it? Why did you not leave them as .bz2's? Pack them all first.

The reason I didnt leave them as bz2 is because when people joined they would not download anything it would just go straight to sending client info instad of downloading the content
Put them back in .bz2, and I will help you from there. Just saying, they have to be in .bz2. That's the whole concept of FastDL is that you're download a compressed file to the player so it goes faster.
Can't do that right now because I'm on my phone but at about 4:00 PM PST I'll do that but until then could you help me fix the players not downloading any content
They can't download content because they're not in .bz2 format, which is required.

I put them into bz2 format and joined the server and it did nothing people still dont download
Where is that located? Also, you really should be using resource.AddFile.

Move it to lua/autorun.
[QUOTE=code_gs;44445321]Move it to lua/autorun.[/QUOTE]
thats what I did and now when people join the server their gmod crashes
That's either because:
1. You are downloading way too many files to the client -- this is probably it
2. Some other addon is causing it.

If it is the first one do I have to delete some custom content?

Judging from the huge amounts of lag I'm getting trying to view this page because of your resource.AddFile lua file being so huge, you probably want to delete some content.

I deleted some content and now I can join but I still dont download the files
Go into console after you join; are there any errors? Also, post your sv_downloadurl exactly how it is.
sv_downloadurl "http://zombieslayergaming.com/garrysmod/"
no errors
Have you already downloaded the files before? Try getting someone else to join.
