but whenever someone tries to join it says the map size is too large.. i currently have a map at about 75 megs.. is there a fix for that?
Max file size is 64.
[QUOTE=Cairns;17305026]Max file size is 64.[/QUOTE]
right in the server.cfg file? i changed that and i was able to load the game on my end (at first i wasn't able to start the server at all..) but i changed that and the server starts fine from my end but whenever someone else tries to join comes up with that error
There better off downloading the map off gmod.org
[QUOTE=spartin560;17309191]There better off downloading the map off gmod.org[/QUOTE]
ya, i was thinking that.. but i don't want to lower my playing audience too much...
then put the file size up
Make sure the map is on the computer you're trying to connect with. Source will only send maps smaller than 64 megs.
got it, i'll have to find a smaller map
thx

What gamemode are you running? I could perhaps suggest a few.

actually i found out that if i upload it to a web host and .bz2 file zip it should make the file much smaller.. i'm hoping it'll work bt i'm haveing trouble getting it setup to download from the webhost
Upload it to the webroot and get the URL?
[QUOTE=faze;17384983]Upload it to the webroot and get the URL?[/QUOTE]
whats a webroot? how do you upload to it and if you wanna look at the url that i setup it's [url]http://thegodfather.comlu.com/garrysmod[/url]
Wow... ok. Do you know how web hosting works? Let's start there.
[QUOTE=faze;17398119]Wow... ok. Do you know how web hosting works? Let's start there.[/QUOTE]
i know exactly enough to have setup that link and changed the server.cfg file to say:
sv_downloadurl [url]http://thegodfather.comlu.com/garrysmod[/url]
oh and i also know the word's MIME type
Put whatever file in that directory... example:
[url]http://thegodfather.comlu.com/garrysmod/something.rar[/url]
[QUOTE=faze;17398230]Put whatever file in that directory... example:
[url]http://thegodfather.comlu.com/garrysmod/something.rar[/url][/QUOTE]
yes. that directory has every file that is inside of my dedicated server.. you should beable to click on it.
So follow the path and use that for the URL? Maybe I'm missing the problem.
[QUOTE=faze;17398272]So follow the path and use that for the URL? Maybe I'm missing the problem.[/QUOTE]
i am i think. i copy that url ([url]http://thegodfather.comlu.com/garrysmod[/url]) in my server.cfg file with sv_downloadurl in front of it. but all the files and map still downloads from the server, instead of the webhost.
net_maxfilesize 9001
[QUOTE=hoot14uk;17398342]net_maxfilesize 9001[/QUOTE]
There's no such thing... Max filesize on all of steam is 64 megs.
[QUOTE=hoot14uk;17398342]net_maxfilesize 9001[/QUOTE]
changed that in the server.cfg file, still have the same problem. when i click through the web browser to download the map takes 10 seconds, when i load up the server takes half an hour..
That's a connection problem then.
[QUOTE=faze;17398428]That's a connection problem then.[/QUOTE]
ok so your saying that when the server tries to redirect the client to the web page the web page isn't allowing it?
If it's going slow, but downloading... it's quite obviously allowing it. There's a speed problem somewhere. No one here is going to be able to diagnose that really. Since the host is more than likely on a pretty speedy connection, it may be on your end, or if it's a shitty free host, it might be on their end. There are a million variables.

i believe the slow speed is indicative of the files being downloaded directly from the server. i don't think it's connecting to the website at all. i tested this by uploading all the files necessary needed for the server to the webhost, then set the sv_download to 0 to see if it would force redirect the client to the website and it just came up saying "missing map" and disconnected me.
Do a tracert to the server and post results.
[QUOTE=faze;17398552]Do a tracert to the server and post results.[/QUOTE]
ok i ran tracert to my ip address (the one hosting the server) via command prompt and it says:
tracing route to c-68-.hsd.nm.comcast.net [68.....]
over a maximum of 30 hops
1 1ms 1ms 1ms c-68-.hsd.nm.comcast.net [68.....]
trace complete.
[editline]01:11AM[/editline]
if you want to compare that to the address that it sends you to when attempting to download files for the server. i can activate the server
Wait this server is within your network? Trace [B]to the server.[/B]
[QUOTE=faze;17398793]Wait this server is within your network? Trace [B]to the server.[/B][/QUOTE]
ok here are the results for a tracert to my physical ip:
tracing route to .nm.comcast.net [192.....]
over a maximum of 30 hops
1 <1ms <1ms .nm.comcast.net [192.....]
trace complete.
yes the server is running off of my very capable computer and internet connection.
That's still internal, you won't see lag there really, you missed the point completely. The downloadurl is what I'm asking for the trace from.
