[ANY] Simple Fastdownload

Simple Fastdownload

Provides fastdownload support for srcds without the need for webhosting. By default, it will automatically change the value of sv_downloadurl and serve files that are either in the downloadables stringtable or the mapcycle.

From here you can either leave it as is or begin to add bzip2 compressed versions of the files. These can either be in the same location as their non-compressed versions, or separately within the folder specified by sv_downloadurl_bz2folder.

Requirements

Conplex & Webcon

ConVars

Code:

sv_downloadurl_urlpath            | "fastdl" | path for fastdownload url eg: fastdl

sv_downloadurl_autoupdate         | 1        | should sv_downloadurl be set automatically

sv_downloadurl_hostname           | ""       | either an empty string, or hostname to use in downloadurl with no trailing slash eg: fastdownload.example.com

sv_downloadurl_bz2folder          | ""       | either an empty string, or base folder for .bz2 files in game root folder eg: bz2

sv_downloadurl_add_mapcycle       | 1        | should all maps in the mapcycle be added to the download whitelist, recommended value: 1

sv_downloadurl_add_downloadables  | 1        | should all files in the downloads table be added to the download whitelist, recommended value: 1

Commands

Code:

sm_fastdownload_list_files | prints a list of all files that are currently in the download whitelist, note: for server console only

Re: [ANY] Simple Fastdownload

This is an awesome idea! Nice to see a use of Webcon in the wild.

My godness! This is sick, good job Domino.

Re: [ANY] Simple Fastdownload

Did you compare download speed via FastDL and your method (for non-VDS/VPS servers) ?

Hoster differs that things, like he can cut the channel of IP where game server files are stored.
Extension description tells about using RCon port.
What if hoster limits max traffic for that channel.
I won't be surprised if the hoster can even blocks user for misuse of the service.
And, actually RCon generally intended to transfer text data rather than binary, so it is by design should be low level performance channel. So, very interesting to see test results for VDS and non-VDS hosted servers.

I didn't do any benchmarking prior to release, only did basic testing to make sure it worked. It should be fairly performant in theory, but I'm not able to easily test this.

You must open TCP port.
