[HELP] resource file display

pajti · **Author**

Hi guys!

First of all I'm sorry for my English, I'm not too good at it yet. :)

Can I display any .res files to the players' screen with VGUIMenu game event or something else?
I know that VGUIMenu event is displays only predefined VGUI menus, but there is no any solution? :(
So if server precache a .res file (which written by me) to players, can I display it as like CZ tutor message plugin does with TutorTextWindow.res?

I hope you understand what I want.

You cannot edit or load .res files from the server.

It's not quite true. I can precache any .res file from the server.

Well, if that's true then it's pointless because you can't edit existing ones or use the ones that you do precache.

It's so sad.

Btw is it possible to precache the same file at every connect?

No, it is not sad. It is a very very very good thing.

Files have to be precached anytime that they might be needed (i.e. on every connect to the server). However, during the precache process, if the file already exists on the player's computer, it never needs downloaded again. So, if they already have the file, that's the one that gets precached. You cannot change it once it is on their computer.
