Setting Up A Redirect.

SupremeBeing · Post by **SupremeBeing** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 5:21 pm

You should NOT repeat NOT use your server's ftp for a redirect. That allows anyone with half a brain to download your server.cfg and get your rcon. And then screw up your server badly. Use Gnomish's hosting or buy your own, either way. Or you could use mine or SupReme's, if you don't have extra files over ours. Clients need the jaymod pk3 and maps and mods. If it's about the cvars, just make sure you left etmain out of the redirect url cvar. If you have one.

Repeat, DO NOT use your ftp as a redirect. =)

Check here to see if I have all the files you need:

loc.flphost.com

I would think that any .pk3's in the jaymod folder need to go on the redirect site. cfg's have no place there.
In other words, dont put unnecessary files on the server.

OR check my FTP, wac.flphost.com

IF you need some files on it, i dont mind uploading them.

Im not using my ftp as a redirect, i have a web site, that im using for my redirect.
The starter post just said use the files in ftp, im guessing thats because everything is there.
I was just wondering if i had all the files i needed .
I looked at the 2 links u guys set up and i have everything there and some.
But no cfg's.
Today i took my jaymod folder out of my personal wolf folder and got on my server, it downloaded in like 10 secs at 600k.
So, i have no idea y ppl r giving up, but they sit there for bout a mim or two then give up.
It sucks cause im trying to create a nice jaymod server and ppl connect all day just to disconnect before download is done.

P.S i notice the both of u r using flp host, do they have servers also?
and if so how r they?

Flphost is the domain that Gnomish uses for his free redirect giveaways lol.

Just to reiderate, they don't need to be able to download ANY cfgs. That's dangerous, protect those with your life.
Just make sure the pk3 and your mods/skins/sounds/maps are in your redirect and you should be fine.

Just a ?, are they large dloads,like more than 25 or 30 meg? Not everyone's windows install is the same, I had a 35 meg soundpack i was messing with, inclusind the campaigns, voice scripts and some odd sounds, but sometimes people would get booted before the dload was finished, maybe had to do with pb, I dont know.

No, nothing big, im only at 15 megs total .
There is just jaymod and another mod and skins.

He means, he has a webhosting service as long as what you are hosting is legal, no warez or other crap.

Yeah, pretty much...we don't mind anything aside from warez / child porn / obviously illegal shit.

just a couple of questions.... first of all i have a filefront page could i set that as my redirect, second of all if it's a site like turkeyfiles or something do i just end it with a .net, and finally can u tell me if these redirects are good or which 1 is better to use?

set sv_wwwDownload "1" // toggle to enable web download
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://turkeyfiles.escapedturkey.net/en ... ry/etmain/" // base URL for redirection
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0" // tell clients to perform their downloads while disconnected from the server
set sv_wwwFallbackURL "" // URL to send to if an http/ftp fails or is refused client side

set sv_wwwDownload "1" // toggle to enable web download
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://hosted.filefront.com/TheATDClan/" // base URL for redirection
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0" // tell clients to perform their downloads while disconnected from the server
set sv_wwwFallbackURL "" // URL to send to if an http/ftp fails or is refused client side

ive used the first 1 b4 with ending with .net not the rest cause that's wt someone told me, but every tiem when someone trys to download something it automatically turns off the server.

Is incorrect. The base URL should be http://turkeyfiles.escapedturkey.net/enemy-territory.

You can use both, just set the other one to the fallback URL

thx gnomish but if i dont set a fallback url with it just load it from my etmain or jaymod folder or w/e like it originally does if u dont set up a re-direct.
