So I have been trying to make a HUD for TTT and it is working all well and good. But, I am using a custom font and for some reason, this has not been working with my FastDL I have resource addfiled it too many times to count and tried replacing other fonts in other addons to no effect. Can I please have some help here? I don't know if it something to do with gmod but it just wont work.
[CODE]resource.AddFile("resource/fonts/google_spies.ttf")[/CODE]
That is the line of code I am using, I have done FastDL before and it is set up properly.
I have quadruple checked the file path.
Please help :C
Check the permissions for it on your webserver are correct and see if you can download it from the fast download with your web browser.

I don't think that is the issue. Every other type of file I have tried to fastdl has worked. Just this one, it is quite frustrating.
What is your server IP if your comfortable sharing it?
I will join and see what happens.

I don't think you need too, when you join the server, it says you are downloading the files but you actually aren't.
Did you pack it in bip2?
And if your server is running on Linux, check the path doesn't contains upper-case letters.
(spent 2 hours on finding the problem: it was an uppercase path)

It is a windows server and could you elaborate on what you mean by bip2?
Sry, meant bzip2
I dont know if it's a must, but normally you need to pack every file to bzip2 on fastDL. bzip2 is a compressed archive
If it says you are downloading them but you aren't have you got an external web server set up for the fast download and is your sv_downloadurl pointing to there because if both of those are done correctly it would work fine.
Also I used to own a community and develop for one, you don't have to compress them into bzip2's it just makes it faster to join.

Yes my FastDL is set up fine. It works with every other thing I have tried to upload, new or old. It just seems to be this specific filetype.
You may need to try & put a space between the quotation & the parenthesis. If that's not the problem, make sure you have the file in the correct location. If neither fix it, some things just dont work with all server types. Or, that's what i have read during previous research, and as said above, bzip2 is not at all necessary, but get back to me on those things.

This might sound like a nooby question, but how do I compress files into bzip2?
Never mind figured it out.
