Hi, I have a little problem. I use Quake sounds on my TF2 server and it works, but when the server changes map it doesn't work anymore. And it also re-downloads the sounds.

I have sv_downloadurl "http://www....." to the redirect. And in the redirect I have the folders: maps and sound and in sound is the quake folder. They are bz2 files. And I didn't set a max file size.

I've noticed this when joining a ProTF2 server then joining my own server. For whatever reason my client thinks I don't have the files and starts re-downloading them again. Not sure what the cause of this is.

It's a bug with sv_pure, been around for several months.

So I better put pure to 0 ?

When ever you go from a server with sv_pure 1/2 and then join a server with sv_pure 0 WITH downloads it will make you redownload everything custom on that server. For some people this can cause game crashes or the models/materials showing up as errors.

There is one viable solution which I have instructed all my players who run into this issue to do:

1. Join sv_pure 1/2 and now want to join a server with custom downloads
2. Press esc/create server/start and wait until you join the game
3. Join server with custom downloads

When switching from a server with sv_pure 1/2 to one with custom downloads, you can first join a server with sv_pure 0 with NO downloads. This will then negate the effects of sv_pure 1/2 and allow you to join a server with downloads without having to redownload anything. Since the create server option is defaulted to sv_pure 0 for everyone this option is the fastest and most reliable.

EDIT:

I am not as familiar with TF2 however I believe the same effect can be done by going to: esc/steam workshop/create test server

It's only a bug in that putting sv_pure 1 in server.cfg will start you in sv_pure 0 mode for the first map.

The bug xomp is describing is a different bug.

Now, the fix is to add the quakesounds directory to hl2/pure_server_whitelist.txt or set the server to sv_pure 0.

FWIW my server is sv_pure 0. I'm not sure what pure settings the folks @ ProTF2 use but if I connect to any of their 10 million servers then connect to mine I have this problem. I can replicate it each and every time with no failure.

One thing I've noticed is sometimes when it happens it makes medic heal beams viewable through walls all the way across a map which may or may not give someone an advantage.

Thanks guys

+ If you want players use own modified textures, models, sounds and you don't care are they cheating then leave it.

Come ask in here again if you really want run server with sv_pure 1 and configure pure_server_whitelist.txt
- Block most of players custom skins and files, depend settings.

It happens every time someone switches from an sv_pure 1 or sv_pure 2 server, regardless of the sv_pure setting of the other server. Basically, it ignores the sv_pure setting (and whitelist) of the new server.
