By setting up download rules you can trim down the amount of files a client has to download when first visiting a server to the essentials for each group. It can recursively add files in directories by listing a directory path.

This plugin was inspired by SWAT_88's SM Downloader

Setting up

1. In order to set up this plugin on your server follow these steps:
2. Download the plugin and put it in your plugins folder.
3. Set up your "umc_mapcycle.txt" file with the groups you want.
4. Create a file named "umc_downloader.json" in your game's root folder.
5. Set up your "umc_downloader.json" file. Bellow is an example

{
    "always": {
        "sounds": [
            "sound/exampleSound.mp3",
        ],
        "models": [
            "models/exampleModels"
        ]
    },
    "groups": {
        "example group": {
            "files": [
                "exampleFile.txt"
            ]
        }
    },
    "maps": {
        "ctf_2fort": {
            "generic": [
                "genericCachedFile.txt"
            ],
            "decals": [
                "exampleDecals.vtf"
            ]
        }
    }
}

The structure works as follows:
In the top level you have 3 different categories: "always", "groups" and "maps".

"always" - Files and directories assigned here will be put in the downloads table no matter which map is selected.
"groups" - divides files and folders over UMC groups, for example "Dodgeball" or "prophunt", each would require their own set of files.
"maps" - With this category you can specify files to be put in the downloads table on a map by map basis.

There are 5 different categories your files can belong to:

1. "files"
2. "generic"
3. "decals"
4. "sounds"
5. "models"

When files are listed under "files" they will not be precached.

• sm-json
