hey guys...like title said, which function is called before client_connect? i will say plugin_init, but i guess its totally nonsense answer

why am asking this?
we know for the multi fast download plugin...if you know if it really has a point its cool if you share with us...in my opinion it will give more problems to the server than having only one sv_downloadurl link...
so my idea is:
check if: currentmap = "de_dust2" then 'amx_cvar sv_downloadurl FDL1'
else if currentmap = "de_arboretum" then 'amx_cvar sv_downloadurl FD2'
else = plugin continues with sv_downloadurl from server.cfg

so is it possible to make that fast, to check whats currentmap on the server and immediately change sv_downloadurl cvar, all has to be done before first player connect to the server (client_connect?)
i would like to see yes as answer, but im not that optimistic for this...im trying to make really practical/functional multi fast dl plugin (ofc no offense to author of current version of multi dl)
thanks in advance!

There are several functions called before a player can join. Here are a few examples in order.
plugin_natives()
plugin_precache()
plugin_init()
I would use precache or init but I don't think it matters. I can't answer if it will actually work though.

well thanks, i will probably test with all three and see the results...its matter of mili sec i think haha

[JocAnis]

its impo to test on all, but its pain in a*s for testing on online server (in my case)...so i found 000webhost for free fdl storage, just to give an idea to others..:_)

IIRC, 000webhost does not allow hosting files for fast download. You can use it if you want but don't be surprised if your account gets banned.

oo sh*t i hope its not true if does it matter: we are uploading max 70maps for pub server..so maybe it wont be a problem for that host

[Black Rose]

It doesn't matter. And 70 maps is a lot.

Typically, it is not the amount of storage that violates the terms of service (TOS), it is the purpose of those files that does. FYI.

you are basically using their free hosting service for file sharing, for them it's literally no difference whether you use FastDL or start sharing mp3 files you host there

the point is you use a ton of bandwidth compared to other crappy free host apps (tests, shit forums, etc), it will immediately stand out and you will get suspended



actually things like downloadurl are only allowed on VPS and upwards, never in shared hosting, maybe with some few exceptions, like a 20 eur a month shared hosting, which is basically just a managed VPS, just telling you this so you don't buy a 1 eur / month webhost and then get suspended on that as well

well i undestand it now...friend explained me to how multi fastdl plugin works, so i undestand the main purpose of it...thanks to everyone guys
