Having problems with client scripts on dedicated server?
« on: January 18, 2008, 07:57:46 AM »
GMod is now using the default download system for Lua files along with everything else. So, if you are running a dedicated server with sv_downloadurl set, you will need to place your clientside Lua scripts on the sv_downloadurl server as well, or they will not download.

So if it is in an addon you place it in garrysmod/addons/ on your downloadurl?

So just make it so they are in the correct folders?

IE:
addons/phx/lua ====> garrysmod/lua

Like that?

This is not as good as I thought it would be. My webhost is pissed at me right now. Calling it a DoS attack. :\

I can see many problems with this in the future considering many webserver admins STILL don't know how to use sv_downloadurl

I just got in touch with them. They said I had 1500 active connections from one IP address. I'm disabling sv_downloadurl for now. :\

I'm a little confused.  What all do we put in our downloadurl and what should it look like?  I already have a maps folder, but i am not sure what you mean by clientside lua files.  Can you give me an example please?

Okay, it does try to download the lua scripts from your fast dl server, but not how you think it does. It's looking for files like this... "<root>/cache/dua/3499012667.dua".

Yes, that means if you want to use your fast dl server, you'll have to upload the server lua cache.

Will this cache only change when the Lua files are updated/added?

Thanks for that.  I tried like 15 different variations for the new thruster,(gmod_tool/stools/thrusters.lua), but no matter what i tried i could not seem to download the little bugger and my thruster would be broken.  I even tried making my own game to get the lua files correctly, but with no go on multiplayer servers.


If i upload this cache to my downloadurl, will it get downloaded all the time, or only when something changes that the client doesn't have?
