WANT SKINS TO BE UPLOADED FROM OTHER LOCATION

[mailerstoned]

i have some skins on my server. i have installed them in system dir and edited ut2004.ini so client will load it too.

but my problem is that every client downloads the skin from my pc. its only 2.5 mb but it bothers me.

so i thought is there a way to upload the skin files to my ftp server and let the clients download it from that location its 10x faster. so hopefully somebody can help. i know it can with mutators so this must be possible too.

then make a redirect line for youre FTP
[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://<<<<<<<<<<< here you adres of FTP
ProxyServerHost=
ProxyServerPort=3128
UseCompression=True

Don't forget to compress the files

[mailerstoned]

thank you.

will clients upload custom maps also from that location?
because i dont understant it 100%.

i got this from ut2004.ini

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://www.mydomain.isp.nl/
ProxyServerHost=
ProxyServerPort=3128
UseCompression=True

1: wich files will be looked for? skins,maps,mutators?
2: do i have to put files in main folder of ftp? (where the file index.html must be with homepage)
3: and witch program to compress ut2004 files?

Client will try to download all files they are missing
(simply all things added as serverpackages, and maps)

Put the files in the dir where the Redirect is pointing to.

And use UCC to compress the files. There will also be a program written for it, to make it easiers, just use the search function.
Or don't compress if you can't get it to work.
