Folder Downloader & Precacher

by SpirT

Before commenting:
I know, there are some plugins that do the same as the one I'm posting now, but, as I got some feedback, SM Downloader, S - Downloader and so on are crashing a lot of servers. In my country a lot of servers used to have those plugins. They tested mine, worked perfectly and isn't crashing the servers anymore! Therefore, I decided to upload mine here. Isn't so complex as the ones I refered above but does its job



What is this?
Adds the files inside the folders specified to the downloads table and they will be also precached. All subfolders inside those folders will be added as well. All files inside are going to be precached. The extensions allowed for download are: mp3, m4a, wav, mdl, vtx, vvd, phy, vmt, vtf, png, svg, bsp and nav.

Requirements
- SourceMod Installed on your server (plugin was tested on 1.10 build 6482)
- MetaMod Installed on your server (plugin was tested on 1.10 build 1144)

Installation

• Upload all files to your server
• Restart your server / change map / type this command in your server console: 'sm plugins reload spirt_folder_dl_precache'
• Add your desired folders to 'addons/sourcemod/configs/SpirT/Folder-Downloader-Precacher/folders.txt' PS: Do not place a / at the end of the lines. As example leave as "models/weapons/my/folder" without the quotes ("")

ToDo List

• Nothing for now.

Thanks for the feedback. Hope this could fix a lot of issues with crashes in the CS:GO Community & other game server mods as well

This is really helpfull since I usually have a lot of model files that are not posted with paths and I have to write down every line.

And btw, I belive that SM Downloader crashes servers because of miss-configuration. I ve used it for a while and works like a charm from the first day.

Any way, nice realease !

Thanks for the reply and for the feedback. I've been using SM Downloader for a lot of time. Recently, I got some problems and it was crashing the server (the configuration isn't changed since november of 2017). Anyways, I hope this can fix the issues that people have, also if it is miss-configured, it won't crash the server like SM Downloader and some others do

Yo,

Did you mean PrecacheSound instead of PrecacheDecal there?

Yea, I did, my bad

That's fixed already, you can download the fixed version (1.0.1) here or @ github.
Thanks for the feedback btw ;)

Suggestion: add file support like SM Downloader.
Eg:
materials/models
models/player
maps
sound/my_effect
sound/example.mp3
maps/map_test.bsp

Thanks for your suggestion. Well, the idea is to add all files and precache them without placing file by file. That's what my plugin improves, but of course, we can add a file to only add certain files ;)

maybe you can add a cvar (disabled as default) to control download/precaches with a list
