• Automatically Downloading Maps

How do you make a map automatically download? I have seen many maps automatically download when I join a server without the proper map installed. They are pretty common,and those features would be useful for our server.
From one of my older posts.. for the sake of retyping [QUOTE=TornadoChas3r;28856624]You need to enable sv_downloadurl (aka FastDL), or have the server force the download of the map.. with FastDL it downloads automatically and downloads alot faster.. You will need to have a web space from a host or have your own web server to use FastDL, If your server is hosting on a GSP they may offer FastDL hosting so check with them. Look at the links I posted above they should offer you some help if you choose to use FastDL.. Otherwise, I think.. I've never actually tried it out though, but you could try forcing the map to download with resource.addfile, I would not recommend doing this though. Players are better off downloading the map rather than getting it from a server without FastDL.[/QUOTE] If you want to setup FastDL [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Setting_up_sv_downloadurl] Fast DL on GMod Wiki[/url][/b] I also made a small tutorial, more of an attempt but it may help you [b][url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1055929-I-Have-Some-FastDL-Questions?p=27816678&highlight=#post27816678]My Tut[/url][/b]
