FastDL Configuration for Sven Co-op Servers

Configure FastDL on your Sven Co-op dedicated server so players can quickly download custom maps, models, and sounds.

XGamingServer provides automatic FastDL for your Sven Co-op server, allowing players to download custom content like maps, models, and materials quickly. No extra configuration is required on your end other than uploading your custom content.

How Does FastDL Work?

While everything is automatic, here are some important details about the FastDL system:

Files are synced (and sometimes compressed) from /svencoop/ to /fastdl/ when you start your server.
sv_downloadurl is automatically updated or added to your server.cfg.
Files are only served to players after everything is compressed.
You can view all synced files online by checking your FastDL URL directly. Get it by typing sv_downloadurl into your console.

Using A Third Party FastDL

If you prefer to use an external FastDL provider, you can override the automatic URL with a custom configuration.

Create a FastDL Config

In Files, create a fastdl.cfg file in your game folder or the cfg folder where your server.cfg is located.

Set Your URL

Add the following line to the file:

sv_downloadurl www.myfastdlurl.com

Load the Config

Open your server.cfg and add the line exec fastdl at the bottom of the file.

Restart Your Server

Restart your server for the custom FastDL URL to take effect.
