Hi, I've been having trouble putting custom maps into my server. 1 of the maps worked and people were downloading when connecting, But the other custom maps give them a "Cant Open Files" (or something like that) when connecting. Any ideas? I didnt add redirect so why would 1 map let people download but the others didnt?
Im confused. I know I may need a redirect host , Im new to killing floor and dont really know what .ini to be looking in. Can someone give me a map and instructions for adding to ded server without redirect? I tried to apply for a free webhost but I dont know what Im really doing. I used FTP file transeer to transfer cutom maps to host server. But when I added redirect link to KF-GameEngine.ini it still give people error and doesnt download... Heres what it looks like
[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://killingfloor2folders.netne.net/kf2/kfgame/brewedpc/maps/

You can look at the link yourself
http://killingfloor2folders.netne.net/kf2/kfgame/brewedpc/maps/ and tell me what im doing wrong,, or how to turn this into a redirect so people can download...... thank you for your time

they said that the main map file should be in the main directory.. not inside a folder.. maybe try that.

Granted I havent gotten mind to work either. But at first glance what I see is an unnecessary file structure. You can pretty much put them in the root of your public_html and it SHOULD work. Also I believe you have to have the map files also in the root and not custom folders named after the map. This i'm also not 100% sure on. The information on this topic is slim and the ones that have gotten this working arent being very helpful

Here you go bozzy

Not only do you have to do the options that it says in the wiki
but you also need to go to
PCServer-KFEngine.ini and change 3 things

Under the header
[IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]

AllowDownloads=True
AllowPeerConnections=True
and
MaxDownloadSize=Something REALLY high. I changed mine to 5000000000

Now instead of attacking everyone. Next time realize that you dont know everything. Or else you would have caught this.
