How To Set Up FastDL On Your IOSoccer Server

FastDL lets players download your custom maps and files over the web, which is much faster than downloading them from the game server. Game Host Bros IOSoccer servers set it up for you, so all you need to do is upload your content.

How FastDL Works

  • When your server starts, files in these iosoccer folders are published to FastDL: maps, materials, models, sound, particles and resource.
  • Players who are missing a file download it from FastDL when they join.
  • Files you delete from those folders are removed from FastDL on the next start.

Adding a Custom Map

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Navigate to iosoccer/maps.
  4. 4
    Upload your .bsp file.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

To play the new map, change the map to its name.

Using Your Own FastDL

If you already host your files on your own web server, point the server at it instead:

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, edit Download Redirect URL and enter your web address, for example https://fastdl.example.com/iosoccer.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Your web server needs the same folder layout as the iosoccer folder, for example maps/yourmap.bsp. Clear Download Redirect URL to go back to the built-in FastDL.
