please listen fo this will be thet LAST time I ahve to explain it.... AGIAN... sv_downloadurl DOES NOT PRECAHCE! lets say it agian: sv_downloadurl DOES NOT PRECACHE! ok?! it simply sets a another way to download the files IF THEY ARE PRECACHED & PRESENT ON BOTH the server & websever.

IE sever.cfg

sv_downloadurl "http://www.imstupidashell.com/cstrike"

files:

webserver:

.../imstupidashell site/cstike/sounds/music.mp3

server:

.../counter-strike/cstike/sounds/music.mp3

... to precahce the files, you need a plugin that precehs the files or something...

I have a little Prob with this Plugin using download over http.

Well its the Following. If i start my Server with VAC then Clients download the MP3's as suggested from the webserver. but never playing a song...

If i start the server without VAC it isnt downloading the files, but it plays the music, if downloaded allready earlier.

Im using the Dedicated Stand alone Version of CS Server "hlds.exe"

heres the Loadingsound.amxx i use for that :

#include <amxmodx> 
#define Maxsounds 4 

new soundlist[Maxsounds][] = {"Equinoxe_4.mp3","Magnetic_Fields.mp3","Moon_Machine.mp3","Oxygene_4.mp3"} 


public plugin_precache() { 
   precache_sound("misc/Equinoxe_4.mp3")
   precache_sound("misc/Magnetic_Fields.mp3")
   precache_sound("misc/Moon_Machine.mp3")
   precache_sound("misc/Oxygene_4.mp3")
   return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
} 



public client_connect(id) { 
   new i 
   i = random_num(0,Maxsounds-1) 
   client_cmd(id,"mp3 play sound/misc/%s",soundlist[i]) 
   return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
} 


public plugin_init() { 
   register_plugin("LoadingSound","1.0","Destavator") 
   return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
}

Maybe anyone got a clue why this is happening...

Are you sure that the soundlist function doesnt require you to put a directory, and are the files on the exact same location on both the server & webserver? When it dles it its not going to play it but when yer using sv_downloadurl it disconnects you then reconnects, then it'll play. I'm sure that the VAC module has nothing to do with this other than its another thing for the client to downlaod, but while or before music begins to play.

NM about the sund lsit ting i see that the plugin just puts the directory b4 i later

This plugin simply plays music from within the game cache files for the normal half-life game. Everyone already has these files and that is why there is nothing to download and it is no stress on the server. Once you load the plugin, it will start to play random songs to the client once they establish a network connection to the server.

im a complete noob when it comes to uploadinf stuff to servers via ftp as i havnt done this before (well on games anways) how do i go about uploading the file to my server via ftp plz teach this noob

[hurtig]

Then if i want my own music to be played?
Is that doable without my visitors have to precache for an hour?

[robbob4]

no unless you set up a sv_downloadurl and then they still ahve to dl it but from a webserver. We cant really help you with FTP man it varys per server. you need some kind of uploader ie Dreamweaver (expensive -- yet i have or search for it at www.download.com)

You dont need ot upload anything (otehr thant he plugin to the CS server) unless yer playing customs souds.

ATM i'm pretty disgusted about the results of getting this plugin to play custom, we need ot make one spefically designed for it instead of telling everyone how to edit it.

plz help !

i will make the sma file to amxx.. But it says:

///Loadingsound.sma
// addons\amxmodx\scripting\loadingsound.sma<14> : error 018initialization date exceeds declared size
//
// 1 Error.
//Could not locate output file compiled\loadingsound.amx <complie failed>.

?? help ??

here is my sma. file:

/*
* Play a sound during the connection.
*
* Random code part taken from plugin
* connectsound by White Panther
*
* v1.0
*
*/

#include <amxmodx>
#define Maxsounds 2

new soundlist[Maxsounds][] = {"mucke","","new_sim03"}


public plugin_precache() {
precache_sound("misc/mucke.mp3")
precache_sound("misc/new_sim03.mp3")
return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}


public client_connect(id) {
new i
i = random_num(0,Maxsounds-1)
client_cmd(id,"mp3 play sound/misc/%s",soundlist[i])
return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}



public plugin_init() {
register_plugin("Loading Sound","1.0","Amxx User")
return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

[robbob4]

new soundlist[Maxsounds][] = {"mucke","","new_sim03"}

should be

new soundlist[Maxsounds][] = {"mucke","new_sim03"}

and jsut FYI the <14> means line 14 so look there, the error messages are usually jibberish.
