Jedi Academy Dedicated Server - Client Auto Map Download - HTTP Download Not Working

[60345]

Hi All

Decided to setup a home dedicated server for Jedi Academy 1.01 on a headless Ubuntu Linux server and wanted to have auto map downloading for clients.

As I have not been able to find any information for Jedi Academy around this, I have been working of the information on these websites as JA uses the Quake3 engine.

Server start command is: ./linuxjampded +set dedicated 1 +set net_ip 192.168.1.200 +exec server.cfg

In my server.cfg I have these options:

set sv_allowDownload "4" // specify fast download only
set sv_wwwDownload "1" // allow http downloads
set sv_dlURL "http://jafiles.mydomain.nz" // http file server with map files in "base" folder

In my local game jampconfig.cfg I have these options:

seta cl_allowDownload "4" // allow downloads from the server
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "1" // disconnects the client while it's downloading the files
set cl_wwwDownload "1" // connects the client again when the download is finished

 

Server is working great but automatic file downloads for clients fast (http) just doesn't want to work.

The client always downloads direct from the server (slow option) no matter what is set in the configs.

Hoping that someone might be able to assist

Thanks in advance

I don't know anything about allowing downloads, and this bug may have been patched, but be aware that malicious users may be able to use the download feature to obtain your server.cfg file. Use with caution.
