Forced Download help.

[squire]

im having a problem forcing people to download models.

i tried doing it with ULX, but i can seem to get that to work at all.

when i do it the /lua/autorun/server way the server just gets stuck on the downloading /addons/blahblahblah part or crashes all together.

I've looked for a fix but i cant seem to find one on Google.

i fiddled around with it for about 5 hours and still nothing.

anyone else have this problem?

in lua/autorun/server make a new file and name it what you want.
Then do this

if ( SERVER ) then
resource.AddFile("pathhere")
end

Then it will force it. It will not be fast dll because you don't have that set up( I don't know this but if you do it will do fast dll )

the guys im renting the server from already have fast DL set up for me. see, this is the thing, i already did this, it just froze on the downloading/blahblahblah bit. the two files are also fairly small 41.3 KB (42,312 bytes) and 2.28 KB (2,336 bytes) to be exact. and i have no idea why this is happening. even with the 20kb/s regular speed it shouldn't just freeze.

In your server.cfg is your download set up right?

i know your supposed to put sv_allowdownload 1 in there. i've already done that though so it cant be that.

No, lol you got half of it
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_allowupload 1
sv_downloadurl "This is your Fast DLL site"

Once you got that retry with the script

1. They are not BZiped right
2. You don' have the script installed.

Talk to your mates who your rented the server from, also make sure it's not just you.
