Server won't allow download of maps

[TwoGun]

The server is up and running. The IP is 24.111.179.131. I'm not requiring a password at the moment and the map is Counterstrike Italy.

Thanks,

yep downloading is disabled.

But in the settings, I have allow downloads set to yes. The port is the default of 1080 and the socket is also set to the default. The server name and password are empty.

yep i have seen that m8. i did join the server after i had disabled my downloads.
try typing this into the console on the server (the green box)
seta sv_allowdownloads 1
then join the server and restart the map.
if that does not work. delete the sof2mp.cfg from the server and restart it. that will force sof2 to rewrite a new sof2mp.cfg but you will have to redo all the settings. but as your using the ingame menus that wont take to long.

If you are only using vanilla sof, and you have all your settings coming out of one config , i am thinking your config is over the 16k limit.

What is the size of your sof2.cfg ?

Sorry I'm so long in replying. I've having serious internet issues that still are not completely resolved.

The sof2mp.cfg file is only9.25k. So I renamed it and forced the game to create a new one. I'm attempting to test now.

Still a NO GO! I tried to both enter the command in the console as well as alter the sof2mp.cfg file. Both the server and the local PC are set to allow downloads but when you make the connection and do a "Server Info" it show that "Allow Downloads" is set to 0 rather than 1.

I have SoFII Runner installed but am not using it. I did play with it a bit however and I'm starting to wonder if it somehow it is using the settings I created in that file rather than in the standard sof2mp.cfg.

I never used the Runner because when I launch the game from it, all my settings are back to the default. I have to name the server, set number of player, etc. But again I'm wondering if that could be the issue.

Sof2mp.cfg is the client settings, Your servers cfg will be... server.cfg, rocserver.cfg etc.

[Dark Saint]

You should choose one way or the other. Either you want sofrunner or not.
You may want to start fresh if you are using an admin mod like rocmod or something like that. You have to set the command line to start rocmod when you click the MP icon on your desktop. If it is done right, all the server settings will be drawn off the Rocserver.cfg.

Here is where you must make a decision.
