I'm aware that you have written in the source that the sounds do not need to be precached so I would have to either use cleaner or edit the .sp to add PrecacheSound to remove these messages in console.

Thanks, updated and fixed.

Hey Silvers I just downloaded the new version again and now it pulls me from the menu every time I try to enter my server. When loading the map, the bar stays halfway and at the moment it advances very fast that I returned to the menu.

This is the error that throws me in the console:

Host_Error: CEngineSoundServer:PrecacheSound: Bad string:

Hope you can solve this please. Because I really loved this plugin that you have made. Thanks.

Thanks, please try this update and let me know if it's working.

    - Fixed precache sound errors by verifying files exist before. Thanks to "Maur0" for reporting.

Silvers Not nothing yet. Keep throwing me from the menu when the load reaches half and at the moment it quickly goes up to almost 100% of the load and there it throws me to the menu.

And the error in the console is still:
Host_Error: CEngineSoundServer:PrecacheSound: Bad string:

I don't know if it will be for some sound file or something? Or should I use the snd_updateaudiocache command?

Which operating system is your server using, and which game is this for?

Maur0, can I PM you a custom version to see what's going on? You shouldn't have to use that command at all and that won't fix the problem. I have never seen any of these errors with the plugin so it's difficult for me to test and fix.

Windows 10 64 bit and it is in the Left 4 Dead 2 game. With Sourcemod version 1.10.

Okay. Also I have tried to deactivate all the mods in the addons folder and remove all the plugins leaving only this one to check if it did not give any conflict and it STILL keeps giving me an error and takes me out from the menu.

Here is what the console left me when I shot:

Edit: If you have version "1.4 (28-Sep-2020)" to be able to compare at least with version "1.5 (20-Mar-2021)" or "1.6 (27-Mar-2021)". Because maybe that worked quite well for me.

I swear that I have removed all the plugins and mods that I had and leave only this plugin to see and continue the problem. With the version of Sourcemod 1.10 for Windows in L4D2.

[Silvers]

I've sent you a private message with a different version if you can test and PM me back the response please.

[timonenluca]

I can confirm with Maur0 , same issue.

[Silvers]

Please try updated version, hopefully fixed now.

1.7 (13-Apr-2021)
    - Another precache sound fix attempt. Should be right now.
