Ludwigs Sound Download Management

[DoubleTap]

Name says it all. This eliminates the need for res files to download your special server sounds to clients and makes them easy to manage in one file. Sounds can be set to download on specific maps or on all maps. See the .sma file for this plugin for setup info. Thanks to Spacedude for the original idea. Note: This plugin assumes you have a separate plugin for playing the sounds. New: Can be used to download sprites, models, and wads to clients too.

Another Ludwig tool my server couldn't go without... tested on my server where I have 32 custom sounds spread throughout my mapcycle that my users get one at a time.

Complete package can be found here until I have converted all the code:

nice plugin but what about those of us who use sv_downloadurl ??? is that incorprated into this plugin

[DoubleTap]

Not by me man... I cannot code... wont even pretend... I am just doing my best to port (without ANY AMX includes) things... Some of these my server will not go to AMXX without... real coders can freely take any of this stuff and update... I dont even care if they are approved, they WORK ! That is the most important thing for many of us now... too many approved plugins dont work AT ALL !!!

Vic/DT

I am fairly sure, whatever (if anything) folks used for that issue in AMX, can be used now...

[MagicShot]

Lol DoubleTap..

Mine Works.. :P

[DoubleTap]

Just being honest... you got amx_slay2 to work for Mod X yet ? I even make changes others recommended and it's broke broke broke... I am thinking of porting that too... approved dont matter, working does !

Vic/DT

[MagicShot]

If Ya want amx slay2 here is the source converted to amxX...

Try admin all in one commands, the slay2 works for AMXX, I ported that plugin myself, its somewhere around here.

Sniperbeamer is trying to point out that only approved plugins that will be on this forum will use "#include <amxmodx>

Soo you might want to update that.

The only other thing I can assume you want Sniper is the custom path stuff... I'd love to do that, but I dont know how. I do believe I have met all the criteria otherwise for this port.

Hey Double I posted the same plugin last-night not realizing that you did this one already. I made the necessary changes to it however if you want to grab the files and take credit for it feel free to do so. I tested it out and it does work.

Sorry about posting the plugin after you did.

[DoubleTap]

I would only question your choice of pathing... should the MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt go in the custom folder if done properly ?

Also change this line to reflect proper path:

Setup: You should create a file in your ..addons/amx folder called:

Not being picky but if your gonna take over a plugin that already works as posted... fix it all first... :)

If you get everything cleaned up before I do (I am learning this stuff an inch at a time) I will surely ask them to delete this thread... Right now your is just a bit more correct than mine, and the both work... hehehe

What did you change in the code ?

I had done all that bro... it's missing something else, thats why he didn't approve it... Actually I changed the paths to reflect the things I asked you about... now I am wondering why it wasn't approved... hmm... I did link to your package for now... I wont make a package until I know the code is right...

Vic/DT

Now I have to ask what I am still doing wrong... maybe he just hasn't looked at it since I change to the custom folder...

[[nFb]GraveKeeper]

Hmm, you have the same code? Mine works fine as does your and I compiled it with no problems. All's that I know is it works and that works for me. :lol:

[|2ob]

does this plugin work with sv_downloadurl?

[DoubleTap]

This plugin doesn't care what your settings are... if you have the sv_download_url setup properly the files will come from there...

[Johnny got his gun]

too many approved plugins dont work AT ALL !!!


Wish I had time to test all plugins I approve, however it's just not possible at all... :-\

*approved*

but is this really only for CS??

[Burnzy]

one thing, so if i was in game and had all these wavs in and one is names yeah.wav

Would all i gotta type in game is 'yeah' to hear it? or is this sumthing else...

[DoubleTap]

Bind a key or edit your speech.ini... something like this if you bind a key:

bind "INS" "spk misc/loser.wav"

If typed in consoles:

spk path/filename

Missing RIFF/WAVE chunk something like that saying
:cry:

[|2ob]

what about .mp3??

[duckbill]

This plugin is driving me insane. What am I doing wrong? I placed the .amx file into my plugins folder. Added the line to my plugins.ini. Plugin loads fine. Copied all of my sounds to cstrike/sounds/misc. Placed the MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt into my cstrike/addons/amxx/ directory with the following text:

#ALL
misc/hoop.wav
misc/stophim.wav
misc/doomed.wav

My clients dont download any sounds. I don't get any "sound failed to transmit". Nothing...nada...zip....nothing happens. Try and play the file and I get dead air. Go manually install the wav into my misc sound folder on my own and try again. It plays just fine. Go delete it out again....reconnect....doesn't download. What am I doing wrong?

[DoubleTap]

Placed the MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt into my cstrike/addons/amxx/ directory with the following text:

What am I doing wrong?

Path to your master_sound_dl_list.txt is wrong... Which you should have caught since the plugin will make a blank one if there is none in place.

[supermj]

Can this be used to get a wad file for a map. If so, what would you put in the text file?

example I need

#as_tundra
as_tundra.wad

[DoubleTap]

You'd be better off using a .res file for your .wad file but I believe this plugin will do that... you might want to check the AMX version for specifics. I use it only for sounds and that is what I ported it as, dont know code.

Vic/DT

create a text file named as_tundra.res (place it in your maps folder)

// .\cstrike\maps\as_tundra.res - created with RESGen v1.10
// RESGen is made by Jeroen "ShadowLord" Bogers

if someone want turn mp3 or other games sounds to cstrike example mp3 into wav theres the url where you get program http://www.dbpoweramp.com/[/url]

only thing what you need remember that cstrike wad sounds use 8bit and 22050 hz 2 stereo

[deBUG]

ok so i have stated a list of sounds to be d/led by my clients. now i wanna know is there a way so that the sounds d/led can be triggered by wat people say? like when someone says doh! or doh or something like that it plays my misc/doh.wav on everyone? thx

[DoubleTap]

I believe there is another plugin for that...

[darkchemist]

two questions...

I have amxx .20 .. where does the MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt file go?

Also... i want clients to not be able to download ANY sounds.. (The sounds are on the server, however i want them to go to my site to retreive them because i have around 50 sounds and it takes forever to download in steam)

so would my MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST file look like this:#ALL

misc/awwcrap2.wav

misc/haha.wav

or would i leave it blank?

[therodge21502]

This plugin will not work with amxmodx .20, it's been stated by several folks here, but I see no solutions being posted. Is there some other way to split up these sound files, so new players won't disconnect because there are a good bit of sounds to download? I even took the last post of a file that said it would work and opened the sma file and edited all the directory refernces so they were correct, but now I get :

Fatal Error - Dedicated server

Host_Error: PF_precache_sound_I : Bad string ' * sound lol.wav

Just curious if there is any support for this plugin or another way to manage downloading sounds.

thanks!

[nbigdog2000]

got a question... i set up everything... amxx file in the plugin folder and the right song names in the master_sound_dl_list
#ALL #ALL
sound misc/202_bigfatass.wav
sound misc/doomed.wav
sound misc/gameover.wav
sound misc/haha.wav
sound misc/joe.wav
sound misc/mortalkombat.wav
sound misc/noooo.wav
sound misc/south.wav


is it wrong or wat, and is the master_sound_dl_list suppose 2 be in the
dedicated server\cstrike or the ds\cstrike\addons or cstrike\addons\amxmodx or addons\amxmodx\configs

[ezphilosophy]

This plugin doesn't seem to want to load. "bad load" to be exact.

I then edited the .sma file to make "/amxx/..." to be "/amxmodx/.."

That is the name of the folder, so I thought it's wise to change to correct folder name.

HOwever, either way, it still won't load. Any ideas?
:cry:

[MistaGee]

I've compiled the Script for AmxModX 1.0 and it works fine...
I've also added a couple of functions (like comments in the list file), so I added a + to the version number. I only changed name cuz I was too lazy to type that long name into my plugins.ini :p

I also added a long comment in a file when it is newly created giving a brief description about the way it has to look like.

The name of the file is now being stored in a #define'd variable to make things easier for changes. I set the path to
addons/amxmodx/configs/MASTER_DL_LIST.TXT

in the sma you'll fund comments telling you about the changes I did...

btw: I've done this with the version from the very first post in this thread.

[shadowed]

would it be possible to get one that works for wad files instead of sounds???

[MistaGee]

this one does. just list the name of the .wad file in the DL list.

[DocHolliday]

guess im doing something wrong,

but it downloads the .wav file when ya join the server, just doesn't play it.

[MistaGee]

as I already said in the PM, this script isn't meant to play sounds, just to download them for later usage.

[ktrain]

hi i am trying to modify your source to precache tga(for sky's)

is there a precache_tga or precache_sky that can be used for this

ty

k

[MistaGee]

nope, bu I s'pose you can just use precache_model and enter the path from your mod directory, just as EJL did, so I think u can use this script for dl'ing tgas and stuff, just check it out on your own li'l HLDS
if the server crashes it doesn't work :D

[ktrain]

tried it, didnt work for the skies

any other ideas?

[d3th_viper]

im running a HLDS cs version
got 30 plugins running fine. tried this amx_down_load management plugin and at first i was getting erer on line 111 so i did some forums reading up.
relized that i didnt have any sounds added to the MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt file so i played with it for HOURS ! your sample makes no sence. then i finally came across some post ant page 3 here and found the way it sould look here is a sample of mine.

MASTER DOWNLOAD LIST for sounds - replaces res files. Format: read top of .sma file


#all
misc/ctwinnar02
misc/wasssup
misc/imgood12
misc/comeagian

#de_dust
misc/imgood12
misc/wasssup

#cs_italy
misc/comeagian
now this is in addons/amxx folder also have a copy in addons/amxx/custom
plugin loads fine but cant get it to download files on cleint side what gives?
oh also running amxmodx 1.0
also in the sma you say to create MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.cfg when it sould be a txt file

[MistaGee]

#all
misc/ctwinnar02
misc/wasssup
misc/imgood12
misc/comeagian

#de_dust
misc/imgood12
misc/wasssup

#cs_italy
misc/comeagian

well is is nearly fine, the only thing you did wrong was not to add ".wav" to the names, so in fact you didn't specify the full names :D

it works this way:
#de_dust
misc/imgood12.wav
misc/wasssup.wav
the same with the other sound files.

[MistaGee]

I've again enlarged this simply GREAT plugin for the following functions:
1. Downloading tgas (@ktrain..?)
2. Recognition for a map where you DO NOT want your files to be downloaded. For instance:

#!de_aztec
misc/one.wav
models/another1.mdl
sprites/yetanother1.spr
itisntoveryet.wad
gfx/butthisisit.tga

these files will be downloaded on any map except for de_aztec.

What is this good for, you'll ask. This is quite easy: On my LAN HLDS I've installed a lot of sounds and I want to share them with others, the only problem is that my Fast Download Server which allows a bearable download time is not installed on first boot of the HLDS, I don't know why, but it simply doesn't work. As the HLDS always runs de_aztec first, I added the function to the sma and I'll dl the files on every map except the first one, de_aztec, so the files will always be loaded with a working fast download server.

This is actually not yet tested but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work :p


€: before I forget: now mp3s can also be downloaded, but they have to be in the sound directory since their path is given like the wav's path:
misc/myk3wlsound.mp3 will in fact download the file /your/HLDS/directory/cstrike/sound/misc/myk3wlsound.mp3 !

I have been playing with this plugin for hours and just cant seem to get it to work.

put the sound files into

the text file reads

i have added a line to the speech.ini to be able to play the .wav at will

and it keeps coming up

Anyone give me any suggestions Please

[Panther]

:cry: I have used this plugin several years now, but after some time, I got the problem that with some custom maps, my server crashed with a crc error or a cache limit error. It took me quiet some time, to figger out that it was this plugin, because it precaches everything at once for all the maps and not per map, like the .res files do. So with this plugin installed, I couldn't run some custom maps, which our clan wanted to play.
I reverted to old style .res files for now, allthough your plugin was very easy to have.

Just so you know, maybe you can alter your plugin to fix the cache limit problem.

seems like your wad is messed up... I don't have this one so I can't send you another copy, just try to find it somewhere else.
BTW: I'm not quite sure if wads work too well with this plugin, so if you can't get it to work even with a new wad, then it's a problem with the script.

thy I find a other Answer...
I use the script only for wav-files and make a res-file for the wad's
thats works fine

[beezkneez]

in this plugin do we need to do anything with the allowdownload in the server.cfg (or is it in the amxx.cfg) not sure, i think its sv_allowdowload, should that be 1 or o..

this is what my dl list looks like, and it doenst work, it could be cuz of this.

Re all i have sound_download_management on my server but i cant make it work i tried to program it to download a sound (\Sierra\Half-Life\cstrike\sound\radio\ terwin) like this:

or this:

#ALL #ALL
sound radio/terwin.wav

But i get this error:

did you read b4 you posted? beezkneez had exactly the same problem and I told him how to solve it :)

You dont seem to understand terwin.wav is not a new sound we all have it but i need it to overwrite the default terwin.wav with the new terwin.wav i have made and put on the server

[MistaGee]

first, your file is formatted wrong anyway :P

second, I don't think that's such a good idea FORCING ppl joining your server to apply your terwin.wav, cuz if they don't want to do that but already joined your server they won't have a chance to undo or prevent the change...
just add an imessage showing, hey guyz I've made this sound, go get it at <LINK>

I have made a link 4 my sounds but some ppl have no ideea how to use them and the default sound 4 terwin 4 example is not hard to find at all
every c.s has it

What do you mean your file is formatted wrong anyway ?

#ALL #ALL
sound terwin.wav should be #ALL
terwin.wav

[unnamed_ro]

I tried that it doesnt work

Is not crushing but is not downloading either

[MistaGee]

this is because the server checks if you have this sound already, which you do, but not which version of the sound it is... sry, forgot that when postin...

Greetz MGee

[unnamed_ro]

EXACTLY that i have been trying to tell you from the begining i need it to overwrite the client terwin with my terwin

[R@tch3t]

Another confusing plug when it comes to support.We have 2 ppl at the begining of post talking about how similar the 2 are and provide a link for a complete package?Then the next few pages there several different .smas being posted.Stating i changed this another says i changed that and provide an .sma.When i had fnished reading entire post i had no idea what .sma works, if it even works,i dont get it.What go back reread it,no!This topic needs to be edited and an updated version posted on 1st page.This is a good example why i dont bother with any approved plugs that have multiple pages,gotta be buggy and or difficult to install with none or little support from author.:cry:

[MistaGee]

i need it to overwrite the client terwin with my terwin
sry that I'm only human, plz forgive me making mistakes :twisted:
overwriting sounds will not be possible with this plugin because the hl engine only checks if there already is a file with the same name as the one you want to download... I knew what you meant all along, I just forgot about this issue. :)

i had no idea what .sma works, if it even works,i dont get it.
well, all of them work, some just provide more/different features than others do.

i have the txt file in cstrike/addons/amxmodx/custom


so idk what the problem is????
please help

ps this looks messy but its not its just how the forums placed it in there.

[wolf414]

srry for the double reply but i think i might know why the server i rent paths are this/CS16 14 Slots on 205.234.210.196 port 27015/addons/amxmodx/custom/

and in the sma you have this path addons/amxx/custom/MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt

could that be the reason???? would i have to edit the sma and recompile so the paths are right?

UPDATED:
ok i created a folder in addons called amxx and also the custom. then i put the txt file there i went to my server it dl the soundsBUT after that the server doesnt load the rest of the way so i cannot get into it. the the path thing is what needs to be changed so i guess i would have to customize it.


EDIT AGAIN

i compiled the sma and still the same thing the sounds dl then i wouldnt finishing loading and i could not get in the server??????

[MistaGee]

this is one thing you'll have to do, but you'll have to change the dl list file a little. Remove the "sound" in front of every line,so that only the filenames are in one line:
sound filename should be filename

I want a MP3 Support, plz

[redshorty4]

the code automaticly thinks that the sound file is in the sounds folder, for example if you wanted to do weapon sounds, it is in models/weapons, not sounds/ can you make it so that you specify weather it is in sounds or models?

[redshorty4]

ok i am having problems with this plugin, it is only downloading 3 of my sounds. I have them in there right i think. Here is what is exactly in the master_sound_dl_list.cfg file,

master download list for sounds - replaces res files. Format: read top of .sma file

#ALL
models/p_c4.mdl
models/v_c4.mdl
models/w_c4.mdl
weapons/c4_disarm.wav
weapons/c4_disarmed.wav
weapons/c4_explode1.wav
weapons/c4_plant.wav
weapons/c4button.wav
weapons/c4armed.wav
weapons/c4on.wav

It is only downloading the last 3 sounds and not the models.
I have also attaced the file in txt form cuz it wont allow .cfg files, just in case. I have the mdl's in cstrike/models and the sounds in cstrike/sound/weapons I dont know whats wrong

[redshorty4]

???

[flintst0nes]

recompiled this for amxx 1.x by changing the pathes to addons/amxmodx/configs/MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt and it works perfectly.

now i'm despairing with this mp3 stuff. plugin will not load any mp3's in MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.

change of the elseif clause in sma crashes server

any suggestions ?

[flintst0nes]

It took a while, but here is the improved version for the newest amxx. figuring out how mp3 support works wasnt so hard, but nobody did it before, so here it is

! NOW WITH MP3 SUPPORT !

- YES, IT WORKS WITH SV_DOWNLOADURL

- changed pathes to addons/amxmodx/configs/MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt

- for mp3 use, your MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt must contain the path sound/~ before your filenames.
eg: your file is cstrike/sound/misc/mymp3.mp3, then write sound/misc/mymp3.mp3 to MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt

- usual .wav files stay as before: misc/mywav.wav

- excuse my bad english :D german is my native language

KNOWN BUG: trying to play files in MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST with incorrect path or name will force /sound_off to the player

eg: here is my MASTER_SOUND_DL_LIST.txt:

#ALL

misc/cl_join.wav
misc/cl_part.wav
misc/dominating.wav
misc/doublekill.wav
misc/godlike.wav
misc/headhunter.wav
misc/headshot.wav
misc/holyshit.wav
misc/humiliation.wav
misc/impressive.wav
misc/killingspree.wav
misc/monsterkill.wav
misc/multikill.wav
misc/perfect.wav
misc/prepare.wav
misc/rampage.wav
misc/say_camper.wav
misc/say_becool.wav
misc/say_blocker.wav
sound/misc/say_lastresort.mp3
misc/say_lol.wav
misc/say_nice.wav
sound/misc/say_song2.mp3
misc/ultrakill.wav

ssory for my english, but if I`have a server with map for example pepe.bsp an this maps required xx.wav or xx.spr (sound and sprite), these have automatic download to client, or not?... and the plugin for what?..

quest Nº 2:
I`have in mi server this plugin, but I´like what the server "force" to download the gas bomb sprite, but have cheaters with fake sprite files...

this plugin only download this sprite when the file don`t is present in my csrike/sprite folder...but no when this file is fund...

can this plugin "to force" download sprite, model, etc files to client?....

thanks.... thanks... from buenos aires - argentina

[Sash]

[Spiky Pirate]

Excellent update by Flint!
Thank you so much

[flintst0nes]

you're welcome

[HeXeN]

hey u guys i just want a clear answer.
so basicaly. ex: if i run a filipino server. then if i have some customized sounds for the radio's (ex: Go Go Go!!) and if i put them into my server's sound etc. would the plugin let the players download them automaticaly??
reply pls.

[siresword]

hello.

i'm making a 1.6 server for a lan party i'm going to have soon, and i wanted to set it up so that people will really enjoy the game.

i have amxx and metamod, and plenty of working plugins.
my only problem is that i cannot get my server to distribute sounds to clients
i have installed the ultimate sounds plugin and i have it working with the female ut sounds.
everything works fine on my computer because my cs already has the wav's downloaded.

i removed one to test the download of files from the server, and i keep getting this error (from both the precache and ludwig's plugin)

Error: server failed to transmit file 'sound/misc/female/f_headshot.wav

i get this error every time.
i've tried different versions of ludwig's sound download mod (notably the most recent ones from flinstones with the updated paths)
and the simple precache plugin from the UT sounds guide on this forum

is there any advice you guys can give to help fix this problem ?

[AudioMan612]

I've quickly skimmed this entire thread, and my question is this:

Is there a version of this plugin that works with the latest version of amxmodx that allows downloading of all types of files from directories other than the sound directory (models, sprites, etc.)?
