How To Set Up A Download Redirect On Your Fistful of Frags Server

Your server already has FastDL, which sends custom maps to players over the web automatically. If you'd rather host those files on your own web server, set a download redirect instead.

Setting Up A Download Redirect

  1. 1
    On your web host, upload the same files you added to your server's fof folder, keeping their folders, for example maps/fof_mymap.bsp.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  4. 4
    Under Modding, find Download Redirect URL and enter the web address of the folder that holds maps, for example http://maps.example.com/fof/.
  5. 5
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

To go back to the built-in FastDL, clear the Download Redirect URL field and click Save & Restart.

Note

The game adds the folder and file name to your address, so a player downloading fof_mymap.bsp fetches http://maps.example.com/fof/maps/fof_mymap.bsp. You can also upload the files compressed as .bsp.bz2 to make downloads faster.
