Redirect files

[Echoman]

Ok I got my redirect set up I just need to work it. I have an FTP program and need to know, what do I have to upload to the redirect? The same files I uploaded to my game server? ror folder?

Thanks

Only those files that are not stock. If the custom map you downloaded only has a map file (.rom) then compress that file to the .uz2 format and upload it to the redirect server. Some custom maps will have custom animations, skins, sounds, etc. Those files will have to be placed in the appropriate directories on the gameserver. They should probably be compressed, too. And the compressed files uploaded to the redirect server as well.

Sounds like you are gaining ground.

I am lost Floyd. I can't rememebr anything. When I got the game server I can't remember if it came with the files on it or if I had to load them myself, you know like the ror file. Do I have to load that ror file on the redirect server or do i just create a folder to put the maps in?

I don't know how your gameserver or redirect server is set up. But in general, on the redirect server, create a folder....for example...c:/ROredirect

ftp all the compressed .uz2 files you make into that folder. Have the redorchestra.ini file on the game server "point" to the redirect server. The company probably gave you something like: http://www.gamesserver.com. Your "pointer" would look like: http://www.gamesserver.com/ROredirect.

You will have to upload the custom .rom files to the map directory on the game server with your ftp program, too.

You say ror.....I hope you mean .rom and NOT .rar

My game server has a folder titled ror, I think the company loads that when you tell them what game you want to run, I can't remember, maybe someone else knows, I am with Gameservers.com. It has my system folder, map folder etc in that ror folder. I open the ror then click on system and iI can work my .ini file. Now the company set up my redirect for me and set my .ini for me. So I guess I can just make a folder called maps and put the .rom files in there? I don't know, I am too tired and too old to learn all this crap, very frusterating.

.rom files go in the maps folder, just like all the other .rom files.

If your not sure where you need to upload a file, go through your folders ont the server and look for similar files. i.e. .rom, .ukx, .uax, utx, or whatever.

I think that ror folder is just the top level folder of the directory on your server. FTP the like files to the location of other like files.

Did your company create, or is there, a redirect folder? uz2 files go there.

Have you tried to upload anything yet? If not, do it, load the map, and try to join. When you download the .rom really fast you did it correct. When some skin or texture or .rom file goes 1%..........................................2%......................................3%.........you did it wrong.

Oh, and dont be afraid to screw it up. Its going to happen. You may even have the ability, by clicking a button on your server control panel, to reload everything stock. Play with it, stay organized so you can undo anything you did. Your going to screw it up eventually. Dont sweat it.
