• Fast download only working before first map change
    4 replies, posted
I've recently set up a TTT server (this is the third GMod server I've helped set up). The server has about 10 custom materials (materials that came with the Evolve plugin and a couple of custom TTT weapons). I've also set up a download server for the server, using this config: [code]sv_allowdownload "0" sv_allowupload "0" sv_downloadurl "http://[host name].co.uk/download/garrysmod/"[/code] I have all the materials from Evolve and the custom weapons in their respective folders in /download/garrysmod/materials/, and all our maps compressed to .bz2 in /download/garrysmod/maps/. When I join the server right after it has restarted, so before a map change, I correctly download all the materials and map from the download server (after deleting them locally). I can see the materials in-game fine. However, after a map change, I can no longer see the materials (not the purple checkerboard, just blank space) and I get spammed missing material errors. If I join the server after at least one map change, the materials appear as purple checkerboards. The materials are not re-downloaded after the first time, so I think I have everything set up correctly in the download server. I have double checked the paths to all the materials, and they are all the correct case etc. The odd thing is how it works on the first map after a server restart, but not after that. Does anyone recognise this problem? And has anyone successfully hosted a server with a download server and the Evolve plugin, with materials downloading correctly?
This is the biggest /facepalm of the century.... sv_allowdownload "0" sv_allowupload "0" .....really? What does 0 mean? It means nothing, null, nada. In a boolean it means false. In Binary it means off. Really? Come-on..... Change then to 1 -.-

I have tried both 1 and 0 anyway. Please at least know what you are talking about before you make a comment like that.
I take it no one has had this before, yet I've had it on every server I have hosted
I can't be the only person to ever have this, we've had it on three different hosts, one of which provided an automated download server system.
