Both actually. I've just tried one, and then the other alternatively without change. Does the control over the sprites differ from the control over the weaponsModels perhaps?

For God sake, tell me what file you are using. For complete one, there is a limitation regarding path size.

PHP Code:

Does the control over the sprites differ from the control over the weaponsModels perhaps? 


That makes no sense. I told you before that using orpheu you can patch any strings, not only models, sprites, sounds or whatever.

Plugin is working, the problem is likely that you are using it wrong. But, if you don't tell me what you are exactly doing I can't help you.

[axfalcon]

In what file are you trying to replace the sprites? comp or dynamic one?

Both actually. I've just tried one, and then the other alternatively without change.

Apologies, I meant I was using both comp and dynamic files. So entities_resources_comp_replace.ini and entities_resources_dyn_replace.ini

Thanks.

I told you before that using orpheu you can patch any strings, not only models, sprites, sounds or whatever.

I've a faint idea of what a string is and how it's used in this context however, I have yet to learn or see how an engine such as half-life is stored in mem at run-time etc. I'm new to this memory concept, learnin though

[HamletEagle]

Do you get anything in logs? Anyway, I have the impression that you can't replace this sprites. Anyway, you can give me the sprites so I can test.

Attached are sprites old and new. I have FastDL in the server.cfg however my hoster seems to block the .bsp and .mdl files, which download slowly from the game server. These .bsp and .mdl files still downloaded to my cstrike_downloads folder however, upon checking the .spr files did not.

This is inside my entities_resources_comp_replace.ini file:

;Example:
;This will change all ak47 models to m4a1 ones. This models paths has the same size, so it's fine.
models/v_ak47.mdl models/v_ak43.mdl
models/p_ak47.mdl models/p_ak43.mdl
models/w_ak47.mdl models/w_ak43.mdl

;SPRITES:
;old_sprite new_sprite
;You must include sprites/ in path.

;sprites/awp.spr sprites/awh.spr
sprites/sniper_scope.spr sprites/sniper_scoph.spr
sprites/640hud7.spr sprites/640hid7.spr
sprites/radar640.spr sprites/radar641.spr

;Example:
;This will change he grenade explode sprite.
;sprites/fexplo.spr sprites/explo2.spr

;Add your custom resources here:

and this from the logs upon each map change:

L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:24: -------- Mapchange to fy_pool_day_hd_beta11 --------
L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:25: [entities_resources_replacement.amxx] Connection was succesfully created
L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:25: [entities_resources_replacement.amxx] Pair: [ models/p_deagl3.mdl ] [ models/p_deagl4.mdl ] has missing resources.
L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:25: [entities_resources_replacement.amxx] Pair: [ sprites/awp.spr ] [ sprites/awh.spr ] has missing resources.
L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:26: [entities_resources_replacement.amxx] You are running the latest version of this plugin.

Both the server and the FastDL http server have the old and new sprites in the sprites folder.

[axfalcon]

Found something. In the cstrike/sprites folder there are a few files such as: weapon_awp.txt.

Inside those files there are sprite resource references that locate which sprite to use and where, and there seems to be a files for each weapon, as well as hud.txt and observer.txt.

Next I am to attempt a resource replacement of these text files.

[axfalcon]

No luck however, my server is now uploading the .spr and .txt files to the clients cstrike_downloads/sprites folder because I added the custom_weapon_hud_sprites.amxx plugin and it has the following line of code:

new MsgIndexWeaponList;  

public plugin_precache()  
{  
    precache_generic( "sprites/weapon_ArkFlare.txt" );  
    precache_generic( "sprites/640hud19.spr" );  
    precache_generic( "sprites/640hud20.spr" );  
    precache_generic( "sprites/weapon_awh.txt" );  
    precache_generic( "sprites/sniper_scoph.spr" );  
}

[HamletEagle]

Okay, I'll work on a way to replace weapon hud sprites automatically. Give me some time.
Also, you have some configuration issues:

PHP Code:

L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:25: [entities_resources_replacement.amxx] Pair: [ models/p_deagl3.mdl ] [ models/p_deagl4.mdl ] has missing resources.
L 04/24/2016 - 10:08:25: [entities_resources_replacement.amxx] Pair: [ sprites/awp.spr ] [ sprites/awh.spr ] has missing resources. 


This means that one of the resources(or both) does not exists on the server.

[axfalcon]

Thank you. That is really awesome!

I found this to learn, though it will take me a few weeks I presume. However if the code helps, yay.

TFR (To Future Readers) this may be of use:

from http://www.amxmodx.org/api/ns/ns_set_ps_sprite

ns_set_ps_sprite Syntax native ns_set_ps_sprite(RawPS:system, const sprite[]); Description Sets the sprite to use for the particle system - You do NOT have to precache the sprite, BUT the sprite must obviously be on the client to display.

Currently I can get the sprite to upload to client's cstrike_downloads folder but just need a way for a plugin to tell the client PC to use the sprites from that folder and not the files from the default cstrike folder.
