Download from site question

[funkychunk]

I was wondering how I can make it so when someone connects to my server, they download my forced downloads from my site so its quicker downloads.

If anyone could help, that would be great.

Thanks

Yes, ulx addforceddownload.

He wants to know how to make it download from his site, Megiddo.

It's something like sv_downloadurl

[funkychunk]

Hmm.. but do you know how I set it all up and stuff?

[Golden-Death]

i think its just like the normal gmod structure.
Ex:

sv_downloadurl mysite.com/gmod


mysite.com/gmod/lua/myscript.lua
mysite.com/gmod/models/coolthing.mdl

[funkychunk]

And do i put that in the server.cfg ?

That is a very good site. It's where I learned when I was starting with making my server.

Thanks for that.

But I think that just downloads stuff when needed like when joining a map it will download it.. I need it so that it just automatically downloads what I want it to, no matter what map.etc

You use sv_downloadurl and ulx addForcedDownload.

[funkychunk]

You use sv_downloadurl and ulx addForcedDownload.

So something like:

sv_downloadurl;ulx addForcedDownload            "www.mysite.com/garrysmod/sound/syrupywaffles.wav"

?

[Megiddo]

No, use sv_downloadurl like normal.

I get a unknown command error with ULX addForcedDownload

[spbogie]

sv_downloadurl is how you set it to download from a seperate site rather than the game server. After setting up your sv_downloadurl, and putting all the files on the sv_downloadurl server you then tell it what files to download using ulx addForcedDownload. If ulx addForcedDownload won't work for you, you can look into resource.AddFile() (use the wiki) or add the files to <mapname>.res files.

But what would cause ULX addForcedDownload to not work for me? I mean I just have a Dedicated Gmod server, nothing super custom.

[Golden-Death]

It would.
sv_downloadurl tells it where to download from.
add forced download tells it what to download.
