It means "are the files downloading?"

What happens if clients have the required files? Does the include check if clients have the files, or do they download them every time?

This does not download to the client machine, only to the server.

oh... Is there a way to download files for clients similar to this? I believe sv_download_url only works for files that are precached. My idea is mainly about downloading sounds tho..

No, you would use precache_sound() for downloading required sound files.

Yes i know, but i wanted to try something different. If clients can somehow download the required sounds without precaching them in plugins, then i could play those sounds using cmd_client spk. I would avoid precaching all those extra custom sounds, and that would greatly lower the precache count.

I dont want to drive your thread off topic, my question is can this include be made to be used for downloading files to clients? Or better yet, do you know any way to achieve that?

No, cannot be done for clients. This is only for files on the server.

I'm quite sure that you can't play sounds that are not precached because they won't be in memory ready for use and I don't think the game can dynamically load sound files.

So far I remember client can dynamically load in memory the sound if it needs. Any sounds played with "sp[ea]k" command doesn't need to be loaded server-side. You can just use precache_generic to make client downloading file. It's required to use precache_sound when sound is emitted server-side though.

That's what i'm saying, using cmd spk doesn't require precaching the sounds, they just need to be in the client's directory to be played. The main issue is making sure the clients have these sounds, if i can make the clients download these sounds on connect, i can greatly reduce the precache count and have more space for custom sprites and models.

Can something like this be made?
