How To Set Up A Download Redirect On Your Xonotic 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 .pk3 files you added to your server's data folder, all in one 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 that folder, for example http://maps.example.com/xonotic/.
  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 file name to your address, so a player downloading mymap.pk3 fetches http://maps.example.com/xonotic/mymap.pk3.
