new issue downloading resources #455

Closed aduzsardi closed 11 years ago

aduzsardi commented 11 years ago

Now that the textures (wad) files are downloading correctly from sv_downloadurl there is another problem When a resource file is created ,most people create them with resgen , the .res file usually does not contain the maps/map_name.bsp line because before the updates it was automatically implied Now it doesn't work anymore, so with a res file like this created with resgen

//de_tuscan.res models/de_tuscan/tuscan_grass1a.mdl models/de_tuscan/tuscan_palmtree1.mdl models/de_tuscan/tuscan_shade1a.mdl models/de_tuscan/tuscan_shade2a.mdl models/de_tuscan/tuscan_shade3a.mdl

models will be downloaded from sv_downloadurl , but the map will be downloaded from the game server which is very very slow

also when downloading from sv_downloadurl , the game just hangs for a few seconds before it actually start to precache and download , is this normal ?

Can this be fixed ? Thanks

alfred-valve commented 11 years ago

Can you point me at a server that exhibits this download bug please

aduzsardi commented 11 years ago

86.122.14.86:27020

68.232.164.111:27015 exhibits this behavior too.

fred0r commented 11 years ago

Oh yes - that very annoying. For years we had to create .res files to make all the clients download custom maps and adding the map.bsp itself into the map.res made the client download the map twice - thats why all the .res files are without the actual map.

together with the change of the location of the hlds-files that forced a lot of ppl to install completly new we've lost 1/2 of our players because of this bug....

aduzsardi commented 11 years ago

I think it has been fixed in the beta but i didn't tried though, however this should have been pushed to public release as soon as it was fixed because there are a lot of servers that are running mostly custom maps , so it’s a very big issue from my point of view

fred0r commented 11 years ago

Since these fixes are already pushed out as regular updates it doesnt seem to be fixed atm. I'm running at hl+cs beta.

aduzsardi commented 11 years ago

That’s to bad , hope Alfred notices this issue as soon as possible and release a fix for it

Freeman-AM commented 11 years ago

this bug is not related to anything res related. http sometimes failed to transmit bsp files for no reason. (nerver happened before)

And this is not a feature request, this is a bug, look : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZBvU5H9hiE

You should also reopen the other https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/590

The problem is that i have many complain from players.

You can try this server, there is always custom maps in it, and they have the bug 81.93.244.202:38000

alfred-valve commented 11 years ago

The beta update today has some fixes to help with this. There is also a core Steam client bug causing a problem here, so I am keeping this bug open until it ships in a Steam Client beta (in the next week or so I expect).

@alfred-valve With this beta update, the problem is with big files ~ 10mb on a slow connection.

After "Failed" message, steam.exe still downloading the file and game tries to pull from server. (http downloads are now handled by steam.exe process, right?)

InmanInman commented 11 years ago

possibly related to #598?

R4to0 commented 11 years ago

@InmanInman Maybe yes, aomreal.wad is a 15mb file afaik, and the new fastdl isn't handling big files like that. When server uses sv_downloadurl, it will automatically set sv_allowdownload to 0 to avoid downloading from server. If the file can't be fetched from fastdl by client, it will crash with a missing file warning.

This is what i'm experiencing about a month, i tried to report before, but alfred can't reproduce.

InmanInman commented 11 years ago

Okay, well here is an easy way to reproduce this:

  1. connect to 213.65.180.8:27020 (make sure to do it at a time when no one else is online, this is a swedish server so that should not be too hard to do)
  2. in chat, type afraidofmonsters to nominate this map (if that map has been played too recently, try backalley)
  3. in chat, type rtv to rock the vote. This should instantly trigger the voting process if the map didn't change just then
  4. vote for afraidofmonsters using the corresponding number key
  5. it should now connect and fail to download this file.

If you opt into the Steam Beta client it will fix the other half of this issue.
