Multiple redirect mutator
I don't know if this is possible, but it would be great.
My store is, I have my own server, I use uz.gameservers.net as redirect server. The other day I found another redirect server, uz.unrealadmin.org, yours:D(of this site) So I've been trying to find a way of using multiple redirect server, seems that it's not possible. Could you make one or it that impossible? |
First of all: uz.unrealadmin.org is not "my" redirect, just as unrealadmin.org is not "my" site. Secondly, I think the UnrealAdmin redirect already includes the GameServers.net redirect.
|
With yours I ment of this site. About the redirect, I didn't know, thank you!

just wondering here but what would be involved in making ut capable of having multiple redirect capabilities?.. anyone?
surely it is possible.. what does someone have to do ?.. edit the ipdrv.dll and or some other core file? |
which would be cool to It's allocated to the player can set to somes redirections on his UT :
If missing uz on the server the UT player can take on others redirections.With no mismatch. |
In UT2004 it is possible to use multiple redirects by writing a mutator which overrides the OverrideDownload function.
This option doesn't exist in UT99 though (afaik). |

Here is something {OCA}INSANEroba made for my servers many years ago: Code:
<? Stuff it in a file, and point your UT server to it. I used it for years with no problems. |
Very nice! It would be great if some of the larger UT groups would share linking into their redirects through something like this. We could effectively end the redirect problem forever.

perhaps if it was setup on say ut.files.com / unrealtournament.ut99.fr.free somewhere with a bunch of Redirect servers implemented it would save other less web savvy users the problem of setting it up?.. (just a thought) Again Thanks :D |

what would be the RedirectToURL= (String) be in order to get this script to kick-in? Cheers. |

You probably also need a .htaccess file: Code:
Options +FollowSymlinks All -Indexes |
Also ... one other small question , how does this fair in regards to File Mismatches and such.. just browsing the code now , and am wondering if it first checks the version of FileX.xxx on the server against FileX.xxx on the Redirect before downloading ... or?.
Cheers. |

Awesome Man. |
Now Fully Functional.
Note: Made important Change , now works!
ok .. have done a quick info.txt and zipped it all up , hopefully this is the complete package with enough info to help anyone wishing to utilize this script; info.txt Quote:
hopefully covered all the bases. |
The file name must be the same as the one in the .htaccess file.
And yes you are still fucked if there is a mismatch. |

..maybe something like this could be used to fixed mismatches?..

I suppose I could host this for everyone; I'd need a list of redirects willing to participate though.
|
That would be awesome skillz.

You would need to write a mutator that does a quick CRC on the file on the UT server, and then talks to the script which in turn downloads each possible file to the web server, then uncompresses it, then performs a CRC on them all until it finds the correct file... and finally lets the client download it *pew* |
