Custom content do not precache only on map change.

[medic917]

When I start the server, the materials are there and not missing textures and downloading fine (using sm downloader to download to client).

However when I change the map the materials show as missing textures, and I was thinking it might be due to precache errors.

Is it because it's loading too late?
Where else can I add the precaching too other than onmapstart?

**maybe i should ask in the scripting section

Stringtables, including the precache and download tables, are reset on map change.

Meaning that files have to be precached and added to the downloads table on every map change.

Setting sv_pure too late will also cause it to not take effect until the next map change, so if you set it to sv_pure 1 in server.cfg, it won't be applied for the first map.

Well, sometimes it shows on map change, and on other map changes the textures are missing.

Any idea on what I can do to fix this?

I tried sv_pure 0 and -1

or maybe i should add the precaching in the source code to OnMapChange instead of just OnPluginStart?

Precache has to be in OnMapStart

nvm sv pure 0 and -1 DID work.

Thanks for the help Powerlord!
