Map redirects

[Zeron]

Does anyone have a nice map redirect link i can use that happens to have a ton of maps on it? I'd be truly grateful instead of having to upload maps one by one to a website when people are already using redirects that have tons of maps on them. =/

I was uploading 294 maps, but the DL failed in the end. =L

If you use dropbox you dont have to upload one by one, same with the other recommended hosting site in the server tutorial, but dropbox is better because there isn't a bandwidth cap and you can make a folder that syncs to dropbox on your desktop so you never have to open the website, just put a second copy of the map in the folder and it syncs

Dropbox? Never heard of it. I'm still a server newbie. care explaining to me how it works and/or how to get it?

Google is your friend. I had no clue either, but in 10 minutes I had found the site, downloaded their software and uploaded all my .uz2 map files to the sync'd folder.

That's great, and i've sent them all to my synced folder, but how do i get them to redirect to people through the killingfloor.ini?

In the killingfloor.ini file, locate the [IpDrv.HTTPDownload] section and enter the URL to the right of RedirectToURL=

I think you need to make sure the URL ends with a /

Yes, the URL has to end with a /

Also make sure you put all your files in the Public folder, otherwise the redirect wont work.

to get the URL to use you'll want to go into the public folder on the website, right-click a file, click "copy public link" or whatever it says and you'll get a URL like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1252584/Arena.usx.uz2

take that url and remove the map name part, leaving the last slash.

If any of the maps you use need textures or other files other than the map, you need to compress those files also so they have the uz2 extention, then put those files in the public folder too.
