Super-simple HTTP downloading guide! To set up HTTP downloads from your R1Q2 server, you will need some webspace - doesn't matter where as long as it isn't on a free host that will start serving up "Bandwidth exceeded" pages instead of content...

Simply upload all files you want to offer via HTTP downloading to your webspace. Then set sv_downloadserver to the URL of the root directory of your webspace. Example:

You want to allow HTTP downloads of all your custom lmctf maps. You run a Q2 server where the gamedir is 'lmctf'. Your website is q2downloads.com. You woud login to your webspace, make a directory lmctf, make another directory inside that called maps, upload all the .bsp files to the maps directory, then set sv_downloadserver to http://q2downloads.com/

Easy enough, wasn't it? Smiley. Remember, the trailing slash at the end of sv_downloadserver is very important!

Yup. Nice. Don't know if/when I will use it yet, but nice to have when the time comes.

Yes, use the advanced guide if you want to also compress your hosted content. If you just want faster downloads, no need to use gzip if you don't want to.

From where are you getting the libcurl library?

I think I found it. http://curl.haxx.se/download/

Great idea!!! but if you just want standard quake2 maps and not a mod do you create a baseq2 folder and put a maps folder in that? or do you just put a maps folder straight into the root of the server?

What about if you have webspace with your ISP? is http://users.myisp.com/mysite can this be used?

Thanks

Yes, you use baseq2 for that. Webspace with your ISP should work fine so long as the folders are in the right place.

Do you need the R1Q2 Client for this to work, or just the R1Q2 Server set to the URL?
