[EXTENSION] Late Downloads
 
Late Downloads


What is this?
This is a SourceMod extension that allows file transfers to players that are already in the game.


How to build this?
Just as any other AMBuild project:
  1. Install AMBuild
  2. Download Half-Life 2 SDK, Metamod:Source and SourceMod
  3. Code:

    mkdir build && cd build
  4. Code:

    python ../configure.py --hl2sdk-root=??? --mms-path=??? --sm-path=??? --sdks=csgo
  5. Code:

    ambuild


How to use this?
Simply copy the extension binary to the extensions folder and the include file into the scripting/include folder.

Now just create a new plugin and include latedl.inc.
Sample script
PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

#include <sourcemod>
#include <latedl>

public Plugin myinfo 
{
    
name "My First Plugin"
    
author "Me"
    
description "My first plugin ever"
    
version "1.0"
    
url "http://www.sourcemod.net/"
};

public 
void OnPluginStart()
{
    
RegAdminCmd("testdl"Command_TestDLADMFLAG_SLAY);
}

public 
void OnDownloadSuccess(int iClientchar[] filename) {
    if (
iClient 0)
        return;
    
PrintToServer("All players successfully downloaded file '%s'!"filename);
}

public 
Action Command_TestDL(int clientint args)
{
    
//create arbitrary file
    
int time GetTime();
    
char tstr[64];
    
FormatEx(tstr64"%d.txt"time);
    
File file OpenFile(tstr"wt"trueNULL_STRING);
    
WriteFileString(filetstrfalse);
    
CloseHandle(file);
    
    
//send
    
AddLateDownload(tstr);
    return 
Plugin_Handled;


Extension configuration
The extension exposes following cvars:
  • latedl_minimalbandwidth (default = 64) - Kick clients with lower bandwidth (in kbps). Zero to disable.
  • latedl_maximaldelay (default = 500) - Acceptable additional delay (in ms) when sending files.
  • latedl_requireupload (default = 1) - Kick clients with "sv_allowupload" = 0. Zero to disable.

The first two cvars limit the maximal time that the download can take. The maximal duration (in seconds) is computed using following formula: maximalDelay / 1000 + (fileSizeInBytes * 8 ) / (minimalBandwidth * 1000)

If the player fails to download the file in time, he's kicked.

The last cvar kicks any player that rejects incoming files.
Additional information
  • This was tested only in CS:GO, but any modern Source game (OrangeBox+) should be ok.
  • This extension used to be a part of the Gorme project.
  • YESTERDAY Valve changed the default settings for sv_allowupload (now disabled by default), torpedoing this extension. :cry:

Binaries for windows and linux should be availabe at the github releases page:

Re: [EXTENSION] Late Downloads

Nope. Source don't supports zip archives.

Re: [EXTENSION] Late Downloads
 
This is pretty neat, wasn't aware it was possible!

I built it against TF2 with a few small changes:

Code:

179c179
<                      resendSuccess = chan->SendFile(activeDownload.filename, g_TransferID++);
---
>                      resendSuccess = chan->SendFile(activeDownload.filename, g_TransferID++, false);
301c301
<                      if (chan->SendFile(filename, g_TransferID)) {
---
>                      if (chan->SendFile(filename, g_TransferID, false)) {
334c334
<                              g_ActiveDownloads.Remove(g_ActiveDownloads.Count() - 1);
---
>                              g_ActiveDownloads.RemoveMultipleFromTail(1);
413c413
< }
---
> }
\ No newline at end of file

And tested it in-game, downloaded the text file.
Seems like this would be very useful for downloading non-essential files.

Edit: Actually, it seems it adds the files to the download list for new clients connecting, which means anyone connecting after a late download is added will still have to sit through the downloading of files. Wonder if there's a way around that?

No-one, (it isn't supported by the source(engine)...)

Thanks, I've added these changes into the source!

Yep, during the "latedl call", the file is also added into the download table (see function AddStaticDownloads). The reasoning behind this behaviour is simple - some player might connect while everybody else is getting the ingame download.
I might add a boolean parameter for cases when you don't need file consistency amongst the players and one more native for file removal from the download table. I'm curious - what exactly is your use case? How the fact that some players doesn't have the needed files doesn't break their experience?

My thought was, you could have certain files that aren't required download in the background so new players joining the server won't have to sit through all those files being downloaded.

For example as a donor perk on a server I play on, each player has a texture that floats above their head at the end of the round. These sorts of files would be fine to load as needed in the background since they aren't essential for players to have.

I've added parameters that can enable this behavior (set addAsStatic to false).

I'm not sure what the players that won't download the texture will see, my guess is pink-black checkerboard and console full of errors. :D Some network entity filtering should solve this quite easily tho.

Change for latest version to build against TF2:

Code:

257,259c257
<      for ( int i = 0; i < g_BatchDeadlines.Count(); i++ ) {
<              g_BatchDeadlines[i] = 0;
<      }
---
>      g_BatchDeadlines.FillWithValue(0);

Which is just the same code provided by that function.

Or like this, but I dunno if there's a cleaner way to do this without inheriting:
Code:

template< class T, class A = CUtlMemory<T> >
class CUtlVectorExt : public CUtlVector<T, A>
{
public:
        void FillWithValue( const T& src );
};

template< typename T, class A >
void CUtlVectorExt<T, A>::FillWithValue( const T& src )
{
        for ( int i = 0; i < this->Count(); i++ )
        {
                this->Element(i) = src;
        }
}
