Rented Hosting / Custom Maps

[sammyboy405]

ive rented a server from gameservers.com

Im tring to load a couple custom maps. But I dont have a Published folder when i FTP in?

Do i have to make a Published\ CookedPC\ CustomMaps folders? and place the infiles in there?

right now as it stands it crashes and says Invalid URL. I have these lines in my utengine.ini Ive removed real names. But it looks just like that with the trailing slash.

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://www.Websitehere/folder1/folder2/
UseCompression=False
ProxyServerPort=
ProxyServerHost=

Invalid URL error on custommap change (when you don't got the map) is a bug currently. people have to reconnect to the server to start downloading, the bug remains, doesn't matter if you use redirect or not.


redirect = a 3rd party site to let the game download the content from, it's not directly from ur server box,

i.e.


[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://www.myfast3rdpartydownloadlink.com/myredirectfolder
UseCompression=False


compression doesn't work yet, next patch afaik. and just place all the stuff in the redirect folder, don't make aditional folders and place stuff in there, it won't work.

So there is no point in having custom maps then? I dont guess im understanding the bug correctly.

Ok I understand now. I got it to download the custom map. But exactly as you said.. You must re-establish a connection with the server to get the map.

thats a crappy deal :( and then it downloads slow and molasses!! And i know my webserver is way faster than that.

Another reason to wait before spending money on a server.

I fell bad charging people for a server for ut3 now as it stands...If they don't fix stuff and fast am thinking this game is going to be collecting dust underneath my desk...Don't get me wrong have a clan and been playing since 99..Not sure who is controlling epic but he needs to be shot...Or is the idea to force us all to buy consoles, lol...

Make sure your redirect is set up properly otherwise the maps will download from the game server very slowly. You may need to set ProxySeverPort= to something. Ours is set to 3128.

We are running a Gameservers server with a separate redirect and once we got it set up correctly download speeds are reasonable.
