Can you show me a better way?

Only precache ones that need to be downloaded.

Well for that I would need to make a full list of default sounds and skip precaching when they come up(will probably need to do another for before actually precaching the detected sound). I can't see any other way.

You don't check if file exists by the way. If doesn't exist in current mod directory, you assume it's sounds from valve. You could check from valve directory too.

Is it really necessary? It's just a sound file, unlike a .mdl or .spr which can crash the server.

Doesn't file exists native work for current mod only?

Any resources you want to precache from mod directory, you should always check if file exists.
For valve sounds, you can use the native with ../valve/sound/fvox it will work, if file exists you don't precache.

I thought about this and I think the best way is to just make another plugin specially for unprecaching all the unnecessary resources, instead of checking for them in all the plugins.
