Hello,
I have a Zandronum server running with a map I made. How do I get the client to automatically download this map when they join? Is there a server flag?
Sorry for the noob question but I couldn't find anything.
Thanks!

Upload the files somewhere publicly accessible like tspg or dogsoft and put the download link as the server's wad url. I think its sv_url or some crap like that (cvarlist *url*).
use the zandronum wiki for all the server hosting secrets (mostly 100 carnevil tainted svars)

Thank you!
I would be hosting this server myself so serving a .wad from apache would be trivial.
However, what exactly is the server's wad url?
Is that like doing -file https://foo.com/path/to/maps.wad when launching the server? And that will work?

Re: How to have client automatically download map?
As far as I know, the Zandronum client cannot download wads itself - A wad url must be set in the server info, then players have to use a utility like getwad/wadseeker (built in to most server browsers) or visit the wad url and manually download it. Hope this clarifies a bit

The sever variable bob is referring to is sv_website.Combinebobnt wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 7:55 amUpload the files somewhere publicly accessible like tspg or dogsoft and put the download link as the server's wad url. I think its sv_url or some crap like that (cvarlist *url*).

So what you could do, is upload your wads to some location on your server (e.g., a dedicated wads directory) and then in your config, just use sv_website like this:
Code: Select all
sv_website "www.example.com/yourwaddirectory/"
