How To Set Up A Download Redirect On Your Return to Castle Wolfenstein Server

Your server already has FastDL, which sends custom maps and mods to iortcw 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, create a folder named main and upload the same .pk3 files you added to your server's main folder.
  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 main, for example http://maps.example.com/rtcw.
  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 mymap.pk3 fetches http://maps.example.com/rtcw/main/mymap.pk3.
