i tested a doubled precache by executing codes below.

PHP Code:


public void OnMapStart(){

    for(;;)
        PrecacheModel("models/weapons/v_handcuffs.mdl");
} 


Server never crashes.

LOL.

Basic resources (which are already inside of srcds folder) will not be precached.

So there's no more problem.

If your additional resources are too much not to crash servers, then remove or exclude resources by using this plugin's feature.

In short, you want to say that "Many Plugins precache their resources by themselves."

so, if this plugin also precaches them, then it will make crash. it's your thought.

but it will never happen. cuz resources won't be precached again if they were precached before.

and if i add something to prevent something trivial, i think that will spoil this plugin's objective.

no i do not know if precaching the same stuff twice will take up more precache table
all i know is that for csgo there is a 1024 limit

If i were to exclude every file under a directory or a file, Can I do it so;

sound/music/danielsadowski_01/*.* sound/music/...

My server crashed out of nowhere. And suddenly I can't start it up when I have this plugin installed.

Guess I need to exclude a lot of things.
I get this in my logs:

Warning: Table modelprecache is full, can't add sound/music/seanmurray_01/startaction_01.mp3

how many files do you have installed on your server?

it can be crashed if you add files too much.

When excluding folders on this plugin, write like this : "models/players/wall_e"

and the files below that will not be precached nor downloadable.

What convar did you add in your last update? Perhaps you could add it to your notes on the original post?

Also, I get the below errors in the SM error log when running the latest version of this on my TF2 server. Any idea why? It's looking for CS:GO for some reason.

L 08/26/2015 - 06:50:01: [SM] Native "ReadDirEntry" reported: Invalid file handle 0 (error 4) L 08/26/2015 - 06:50:01: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "S_Downloader.smx": L 08/26/2015 - 06:50:01: [SM] [0] Line 71, D:\csgo\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive Beta - Dedicated Server\csgo\addons\sourcemod\scripting\S_Down loader.sp:rocess_RegisterResource() L 08/26/2015 - 06:50:01: [SM] [1] Line 50, D:\csgo\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive Beta - Dedicated Server\csgo\addons\sourcemod\scripting\S_Down loader.sp::OnMapStart()

This is a great plugin and I really hope I can get it to work. Every downloader plugin I've tried fails to download these Hud files. I don't get it. The concept behind this one to simply grab all the files without a download list is awesome!

Thanks.
