How To Set Up A Download Redirect On Your Killing Floor Server

When a player joins without one of your custom maps or mods, Killing Floor downloads it for them. Your server already sends these files through its own fast downloads. If you'd rather host the files yourself, for example on a web host shared by several servers, set a download redirect.

Setting Up A Download Redirect

  1. 1
    Compress each custom file to a .uz2 file. You can do this with the ucc compress command that comes with the game, or download ready-made .uz2 files from the map's website.
  2. 2
    Upload the .uz2 files to a web host, all in one folder.
  3. 3
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  4. 4
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  5. 5
    Under Modding, find Download Redirect URL and enter the web address of that folder, for example http://maps.example.com/kf/.
  6. 6
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

To go back to the server's own fast downloads, clear the Download Redirect URL field and click Save & Restart.

Note

The file names on the web host must match the ones on your server with .uz2 added, for example KF-MyMap.rom.uz2.
