I think I have the server running the mod correctly here noname >XI< Excessive Plus
I'm a Call Of Duty guy and I know how to setup those servers. My clan wanted me to try out this game with this mod but I have no clue on how the server files structure should be and not sure how to get my fast download redirect setup. Right now no matter what combination on things I try it will only download off the server at 2kb/sec
If someone could take a couple mins and just take a peek at my setup and tell me where I went wrong that would be great. I have looked at the help topics here and all the server setup help on here and I think I have it all correct but something still isn't working correctly.
Here is a copy of my server.cfg under the excessiveplus mod folder

quake3/excessiveplus/server.cfg
// misc
set rconpassword ""
set sv_hostname ">XI< Excessive Plus"
set sv_maxclients "16"
set sv_maxrate "8000"
set g_gametype "0"
set bot_minplayers "6"
set fraglimit "100"
set timelimit "12"
set capturelimit "6"
set roundlimit "10"

set sv_allowDownload "1" // enables downloading maps from server
set sv_wwwDownload "1" // enables the http redirect
set sv_dlURL "http://www.xiredirect2.com/redirect/quake3" // sets the location of the files
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "1" // disconnects the client while it's downloading the files
set cl_wwwDownload "1" // connects the client again when the download is finished
sv_dlURL "http://www.xiredirect2.com/redirect/quake3"
// configuration engine set xp_config "default"

// map rotation (see rotation.txt)
set xp_rotation "rotation.txt"
// this is needed to start the rotation
// test_bigbox is good because it tiny
map test_bigbox

Re: Need help with setting up E+ on my dedicated server

I don't know how to set a server, been too long time. But i know how to use the Search button.

Look what i've found : http://www.excessiveplus.net/forums/thread/fast-download-tool-for-public-games maybe this helps you. Should work with sets sv_dlURL "ftp://ftp.excessiveplus.net/maps/"

Welcome to e+ & hope for the best to yall.

Thank you for the response, I will try this out and let you know.
Isn't the newest .exe patched with this already to allow for http downloads? Either way I will give it a try

This isn't working for me.
Anyone with some current knowledge of the game and server setup have anytime to help me out.Thinking maybe I have the wrong .exe file in play here.

Neither the Q3 1.32c Client nor the Q3 version of E+ supports "Off-server data
downloads (http redirection) via HTTP and FTP with cURL."

You would have to get OpenArena which is based on ioq3 and then use the OA version of E+.

If OA is acceptable to you and your clan then the server.cfg would include the following lines:

set sv_allowdownload "1"
set sv_dlURL "http://your-server.com/maps"
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"

The layout inside the maps directory (folder) would be:
baseoa (this is where you put custom maps)
excessiveplus (this is where you put the E+ Mod files. Note, this is optional as E+ can be played server-side only but I recommend you use it.)

btw, its been a while but, when I played on the Q3 client I used the following variable which seemed to give me slightly better server download speeds:
seta cl_downloadSpeed "1"

PM me If you have further questions or need sample config files.
