FastDL lets players download custom maps, models, materials and sounds quickly when they join your Half-Life Deathmatch: Source server. It is set up for you, so all you need to do is upload your content.

How Does FastDL Work?

Each time your server starts, custom files in hl1mp are compressed and copied to the fastdl folder.
sv_downloadurl is added to hl1mp/cfg/server.cfg automatically.
New files reach players after the next restart.
To see your FastDL address, type sv_downloadurl in the server console.

These folders are synced:

Folder	Extensions
maps	.bsp, .nav, .res, .txt
materials	.vmt, .vtf, .raw, .svg, .png
models	.mdl, .vtx, .vvd, .phy
sound	.mp3, .wav, .txt, .ogg
sprites	.spr, .tga, .txt
particles	.pcf
resource	.txt, .res

If you need another file type, reach out to a bro and we will add it.
