Hi guys. So as title says. I made some map packs figuring ok. well instead of downloading 15 maps in 1 go. 1 file is better. allows it to attain a faster download speed overall of course.

But I made 4 map packs and when I connect to server It downloads all 4! How do you get it to download 1 map pack that has the map inside it that you need to play????

I want to add lots of maps to my server which will add up to being ~350 MB but I dont want people having to download 350 MB in 1 go just to join my server! Its better if its in 10 MB or 20 MB chunks. So download 20 mb play 4 or 5 maps. Then download 20 mb because you need another map.


I'm sure you all get what Im saying. Any help or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Auto Downloading, Sorry, no, that's the problem with map packs.
You can have map packs of maps that don't use any extra Texures, Weapons, Xmodels or Sound to prevent Auto downloading or File Size.
Put generally map packs are a waste of time or at the least I think disliked by most.
.

Sounds to me like something is serious wrong there, my servers always had lot's of custom maps but never did it download more than 2 or 3 in one go.
I can't see how it could be a problem with the server set up, and whilst I can't see redirect being a problem I do wonder what redirect your using.
what your server ip, would best to see it working.

where are you putting the maps in the UO folder or in your Mod folder, if in your mod folder it will be a forced download and all will have to download.

Doh, that,s got to be it, that would make one big Map Pack.

thats gotta be it! I have a mod folder named Jump for my jump oriented stuff.

So basically run my mods from their mod folder and maps in the uo folder and I should be golden? Thanks! :)

and my server ip/s are 192.249.67.131:28960 and 192.249.67.131:28961

28961 is a jump server. Thanks

went to your server and I cant download anything make sure your redirect for downloads is working.

it works fine for me. I HAD the server off for a bit while trying to figure out my cfg/ stuff its back up right now What happens now is my DOWNLOADS are getting turned off!!!. I'll quit uo. start uo join server. It downloads map. play. Next map. Server changes map I cant download it says its missing. check my multiplayer options and my "allow download" is turned off. turn my allow downloads on and rejoin server it works fine to download again?

Anybody know the command to force clientside to have downloads on? that might fix the issue, Im thinking the command might be set cl_allowdownloads 1?

also my servers are named "octanes rifle server and Octanes jump server" in server list
