Apache2.2
Windows7 x86
Enemy Territory Gameserver
Hello,
Does anyone have experience setting up apache to redirect custom map download requests ingame? And download the file? I assume a module will be needed to listen and send to Apache. I have a quake3 engine gameserver on my computer
(Windows) that downloads maps to clients as needed, But downloads are hard-wired at 20 kb/second.
It takes about 5 Minutes for a download to complete(Too slow).
All the help I've found on web is how to redirect document download requests to new URL and changing root:
In particular, if you are creating an Alias to a directory outside of your DocumentRoot, you may need to explicitly permit access to the target directory.
Example:
Alias /image /ftp/pub/image
<Directory /ftp/pub/image>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
[path?]...
The game accepts URL for download redirect. I'm looking for way to change document root to include map files. I realize that this is very complex,
But I know this can be done with Apache. My game friend was Network Specialist with Polish service. He rented root server and got Apache to download maps in Linux, But I'm using Win7, And I've lost contact with My learned friend. Please help if You've done this before.
I'm a complete beginner with Apache.
Thanks! Buckwild |

Gameserver
Open the et.server.cfg file and edit these values:
| Code: | set sv_wwwDownload "1"
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://your-ip-or-domain-name/etfiles"
set sv_wwwCheckPath ""
set sv_wwwDLDisconnected "0"
set sv_wwwFallbackURL "" |
NOTE: The wwwBaseURL address does NOT end with a "/".
Apache
| Code: | Alias /etfiles c:/path/to/folder-full-of-maps
<Directory "c:/path/to/folder-full-of-maps">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
I wish they had put this feature in Quake 3, it would have been quite handy! |

Thank You! I know how to config the gameserver.
What I need is help with Apache.
I had Apache installed but removed it.
Then, I couldn't install, Service in windows
wouldn't start. When I finally got Apache installed,
I just put gamefiles into documentroot and edited My
httpd.config file. Couldn't bind 2nd listen IP to
socket so I set: 0.0.0.0:80. My redirect URL is web
IP. I had to set sv_wwwDownload "1" in gameserver
config. Fileserver works now! |
