Compressed Redirect Download Now At GD Server

[{GD}Odie3]

Greetings!

As the subject says!

When needing a file to play on Ghost Dog Server your client will be redirected to a site that has Maps, Textures, Mutators, Cammos, and etc. compressed for downloading!

I hope this new service helps all you players out!

FYI: To Down Load These Files

EAS-INF-DS-VentureFIX (6MB)
BulletSounds2 (6KB)
SpeechPad_051 (15KB)
UTCompass (38KB)
INF_cCamosUSME (416KB)​

45 seconds to D/L 6.2MB

Also, if you are new to Redirect D/L the % of complete is not correct. Download are complete around the 40-50% area. That is a nice little bug in UT!

That 'bug' is because of the compression....

And FYI, INForcers has had this compressed redirect feature for years...

Yes I know it is because of the compression.

Since I read the below in the 451 release notes I called it a bug.

Unreal Tournament version 451 Release Notes
The download percentage for compressed redirects is displayed correctly now (the real percentage)​

Now if these guys would release a version the would work with the EAX UT436 Patch

Hey odie, what's the port and ip of your server? My browser's totaled, and I need to start collecting them to even have a chance to play.

Edit, nevermind, hadn't seen your post in the server thread yet.

How about a version of EAX UT that works with 451, eh?

Ya like Creative is going to make a new patch! That is one non-creative bunch when it comes to software/drivers!

I still think that if you cant have fast download on your server, dont put up a server

I get no redirection. What's the URL of the site where the files can be obtained?

 

[Crowze]

What's the file?

The "redirection" is invisible for the player that is joining to the server. It just means that the files the client doesn't have, are sent from a http server instead of over the udp protocol used by UT. This offers much faster download speeds and the file downloads don't take any bandwith from the actual game server.

There was a problem with BWPACK.UTX for DryWater map but I just corrected that problem. I had to rename that file to BWPack.utx for it to download. Other than that I do not know of any other file problems.

If you do get an error, please right down the file (as it is listed in the error) and I will check it out ASAP!

If you are behind a firewall, the transfer will probably be blocked and you will need to access the files through some other means. The URL would be helpful especially if the files are to be sent over http.

The files there are ucc compressed and you would have to use ucc via a commad prompt to compress them (would be a real pain). You can get the files from combatmaps.de (and the muties to I think). If you can not get the muties from that site you can get them from here in the fourms. I also have all the muties listed on my server information page.

Also, giving out the the http link opens up the door for people to leach off my site for redirect for there server (without my consent).


Edit:

Go Here to get the muties that GD sends down to clients and do to CombatMaps.de to get the maps
