By Byte

🔹 Description 🔹
This plugin is a simple downloader plugin which downloads/precaches files on any mod.

🔹 Instructions 🔹

Compile easydownloader.sp
Copy easydownloader.smx to your server.
Configure files to download/precache by editing text files in /config/easydownloader
Change map on server.

🔹 Configuration 🔹
Use file/directory paths relative to gamedir root (so include "sound/", "materials/" etc).
One file/directory path per line in the relevant config file.
Directory paths should NOT end with a separator character ('/')
Directories are downloaded recursively.
Blank lines and comment lines (starting with //) are ignored.

decals.txt - Uses API function PrecacheDecal. For: .vtf,.vmt
generics.txt - Uses API function PrecacheGeneric. For: .pcf
models.txt - Uses API function PrecacheModel. For: .mdl
sentencefiles.txt - Uses API function PrecacheSentenceFile
sounds.txt - Uses API function PrecacheSound. For: .mp3, etc
downloadonly.txt - Downloads only. No precaching. For: .phy,.vvd,.vtx,.vtf,.vmt, etc

🔹 Options 🔹
Extension whitelisting
You can whitelist certain extensions when using recursive directory downloading.
When using this option, only files with the provided extensions will be downloaded/precached.

Example in models.txt:

Code:

//Download all .mdl files from the folder below

models/player/custom_player/some_folder|exts=.mdl

Example in downloadsonly.txt:

Code:

//Download the other model files required

models/player/custom_player/some_folder|exts=.dx90.vtx,.phy,.vvd

materials/models/player/some_folder|exts=.vmt,.vtf

🔹 Acknowledgements 🔹
I decided to write this plugin after SM File/Folder Downloader and Precacher (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=69005) stopped working for me.
Huge props to SWAT_88 though, RIP buddy ❤️

Re: [ANY] EasyDownloader (v1.00)

Thanks for the release! Silly question but should all materials be put into the decals.txt?

Re: [ANY] EasyDownloader (v1.00)

sdownloader does all of this and its easier

No because s downloader does everything in your server files and not everyone wants that due to have unused things.

Re: [ANY] EasyDownloader (v1.00)

You should close the file handle via CloseHandle or File.Close

Actually didn't know about that one, its pretty cool! However, as mentioned inactive materials/etc are also added to d-table so I guess list based downloaders are still useful for some.

Good call, added.

Hmm.
What do your lists look like? How many files in your list?

Also experiment with this:

Increase 'SlowScriptTimeout' in core.cfg to a higher amount to see if it solves it.

Would the EndOfFile check change anything?
ReadFileLine should return false if it hits end of the file or if its an empty file anyway.
