Server Custom maps

[jimbodude]

I just uploaded the Westlondonnight map, and when i change map to it, it just says connecting, connecting and fails to connect.
Also, this map doesnt appear in the web admin.
Can someone create a tutorial on how to install custom maps and make them show in webadmin? and also, do clients automatically download custom maps from the server?

I believe this is because you haven't put it in the map cycle.

To? Your game server I hope.

After uploading the map to your gameserver restart the level or change to another map and it should show up in your webadmin under the maps section in the left side if you refresh the page.

No need to edit any files to install custom maps so long as you can access and use the webadmin.

Tutorial on how to install?
So you mean you need a tutorial for placing..

.utx files in the "killingfloor\Textures" folder
.uax files in the "killingfloor\Sounds" folder
.ukx files in the "killingfloor\Animations" folder
.usx files in the "killingfloor\StaticMeshes" folder
.rom files in the "killingfloor\Maps" folder

Quick Tutorial for enabling Fast HTTP Downloads

and also, do clients automatically download custom maps from the server?

And yes! They do! But they download the map so slowly that unless it's half a meg, people end up disconnecting. I suggest you look at setting up the Fast HTTP downloads with gamerserver in the link above.
