The following are the contents of my downloads.ini:Like I said, they download like they should, however the files are not stored on the clients' computers. What am I doing wrong? I'm using the following CVars:
Be sure, that the file exists on the server.

If nothing helped, try the debug version and post the results.

im sorry if somone has said this before but it would take way to long to read all the pages... so i installed the plugin and it is active... i connect to my server and it shows me downloading the files i specified and then i connect to the server and it tries to play the sound and i get a missing from disk/repository... i then check my personal file folders and nothing has changed... nothing downloaded... the files are definately on the server... thats the first place i checked... i am using the downloads_simple.ini and the only thing i wrote in there was sound\gl_endmusic
i am running the most up to date version of source mod... it is a tf2 server... i added the folder to the whitelist... any idea how to fix this...

EDIT: Never mind... i believe i found the problem... the other admin on my server switched us to a fast dl server... i believe if i upload these files to that server i should be good right?

Otherwise post the log file.

Hi.

I'm trying to understand this plugin. I've read most of the thread, but I guess I still have a question.

First, my background. Use for TF2 server and I use Redirect for FastDL (bz2).

I believe I understand that this plugin is for where other plugins use a file (i.e., decals, sounds, models)?

So, this would be a needed or helpful plugin for things like Map Decals plugin and Halo Remover?

But I don't think I'm getting it. Example is use of Map Decals plugin. Placed on the game server the appropriate files. Clients download them automatically. In this case I did not put them on the FastDL location. Clients can see the decal fine.

I suspect same process for the Halo Remover?

Could someone kindly explain this concept for me?

Thanks in advance!

If you want a file downloaded, you have to put the file on your server. In your case the fastdl server.
Afterwards put a line in downloads.ini and the file will be downloaded on map change.

Simply write:
It doesn't work, helps nobody.

Are there any error logs?
Which type of server you are using.
SM version.
MM version.

Otherwise try the debug version and post the results.
Be sure the files are on the server and in your config.

Got it working!
As per usual the reason for it not working was user stupidity.

Thank you for such a great plugin and I apologise for my vague post.
