No ,limitations on filetypes or sizes. But you need to find a fast web server.

It should work , make sure you have put your file in right place, i have used these code for a long time.
I even use this code to host a L4D2 custom maps download server...

3. compile this code

Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <sdktools_functions>
public Plugin:myinfo =
{
name = "Download",
author = "hihi1210",
description = "player download",
version = "1.0",
url = ""
};
public OnPluginStart()
{
}
 
public OnMapStart()
{
AddFileToDownloadsTable("addons\\a.vpk");  //<====link to the vpk
AddFileToDownloadsTable("addons\\b.vpk");
}

clients need to restart L4D2 to let the custom models work

Sorry to bump this up. I know its old.

Is there any way to display an image to the player as they download instead of the black screen? For example, If i force a new map it will take the player several minutes to download. So instead of a black screen they would see a disclaimer letting them know that they are downloading.

I think not, thats a bug with L4D downloads table, which is why it's not recommended to send large files, as a black screen will make a lot of players think its crashed and they'll leave. The only thing I would recommended is sending small files such as scripts, like "Melee In The Safe Room" plugin uses. Last I knew, the downloads table was broken in L4D2.

Wait, so I can have people automatically download a file when they try to join my server? Is there a plugin to make this working?

I would like to have a skin for rochelle downloaded when people join - so not everyone has to go and manually download the file.

I dont know if it STILL works but it definitely worked at one point.

Of course, being able to upload ANYTHING in vpk form to the client is an extreme security hole.

But issues:
a) client needs to restart for VPK to be loaded
b) client has no way to prevent VPK from being downloaded
c) server cannot remove files from client, especially on disconnect
