Hopefully not too low! The problem is that once a player has downloaded a <map>_particles.txt file, there's no way to update it. If you only include custom_particles01 - custom_particles10 then that is all that player can ever use!

That's why I specify 500 custom particle files, just in case and to perhaps let other plugin authors use their own custom particle files. I don't think a bit of console spam every map change is a particularly high price to pay (not to mention each file is only 22kb).

Ohhh that makes sense. Good thinking.

Still getting this in console as well

2 quick questions:

1) How do I make use of the theme sets? I saw no obvious way of setting a theme set, other than to set the next map's theme, is there a value in one of the configs I'm missing which decides this?

2) Say I wanted to use the theme set that requires no particles, would I still require players from my server to download any custom particles due to this plugin? (And if so, is there perhaps a chance you could add a cvar/check to disable/enable this where appropriate?)

Again, I really appreciate that you've managed to make such a fantastic plugin!

This works well, for fall though the leaves fall too fast if thats changeable. The only thing to figure out now is how to set it to change to a theme and when to make it the regular map so there is a rotation of the map regular and the map in a different theme.

Does not appear to be working for my server. Uploaded all files and edited whitelist.

No errors in log files but console on the client gives these errors:

Attempting to create unknown particle system 'env_themes_leaves'

It changes the skybox, but thats about it. Lighting stays the same, no particle effects either. Clients is set to "download all files from server" and does download them. However each map change or reconnect it is downloading them again rather then using the files already downloaded.

Looking in my local tf2 install directory, it looks like it never saved those files. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\emuzombie\team fortress 2\tf)

All files are on the server in the correct location.

Also tried running with sv_pure 0 with same result.


Edit: Looks like my provider's fast download server might be to blame. I removed the entry to it in my server config and all files downloaded (and stayed) and plug in worked as expected. I do not have direct access to it so I cannot upload the bz2 files directly but have to rely on their "auto" program to create them whenever a client requests a file. Looks like is doesn't support these particle files or raw files.

Also it takes 1 map change to change to a theme and if your on a theme it takes 2 to go to a different one.

I'm assuming what you're saying is, have the plugin get the weather of some city, and have the weather of the map replicate that? That would be really, really, really cool.

Good job, this works alright.
