Noop. That's all clientside

Dear Community,

You probably have noticed that I barely had time in the past.
That's because I'm studying right now. So I will stop maintaining my plugins and I will never release a new version again.
Yes, it may sound harsh, but I will stop all of my work.
I spent every spare second of my life to write plugins for people and you can see there is no benefit for me.
I thought to myself that this must come to an end, and so it happened.
I know that there are people who appreciate my work, but there are also other people who ask for new features without being ever grateful.

The plugin is currently working without any errors and I'm not going to add more functionality.

For this reason, any good programmer can continue my work.

Thanks to:
Big thanks to NatalyaAF.
Big thanks to ericm888.

Hello, i have used your plugin for, more than 3 weeks. I have began to noticed from users that come to the server, and from my own personal tests. That it seems like the file will download the bz2 out of the fastl download area, where only bz2 files consist. Out of the blue it will start downloading non bzipped files, this boggles my mind because there are no bzipped files on the fastdl, only the gameserver. If this method cant be fixed, can a method to only find .bz2 file paths be coded in. Thankyou for making this plugin, but it takes more than 1 hour to join the server i host, this fix will defiantly fix that issue for me.

EDIT: It seems to download 90 or so lightning fast, than stops on identical files and goes very slow... than speeds up somewhat again, but still its very awkward, and would love any help to solve this issue.

I'm using this plugin w/ L4D2. Works like a charm. Allows me to replace male hunter w/ female one of my own design - wouldn't be possible w/o SM Downloader.

One thing I am noticing - when ppl are loading up, the entire screen goes black for about 60 seconds while things are downloading. End up loosing a lot of players during this time who think their connection/game is failing and hit ESC or disconnect, restart, etc.

I've seen that precaching only the models might reduce this time (leaving out textures), so I may try that.

If you have any other ideas about the black load-in screen, let me know. I may look into the code myself if I get a chance, but right now I'm kinda swamped with my plugin for the huntress.

In any case, thanks again.

I don't think VPKs will work. Technically user has to restart to enable them. Better to have them download the individual assets.

Taht means client (players cs:s)try to download bz2 file but this file dont exist (or cant download) and trys to download non-bz2 file.

Check your pathes to your bz2 files

That cannot be the issue, the bz2 is present, but i believe i figured it it, i switched to another fastdl and it worked perfectly.

i happend to have a problem..

what i'm trying to run of maps on my server is :

cs_deadhouse
cs_office_FEAR_night
cs_silenthill
de_boohouse
de_deadblock
de_hangcastle_s
de_livehouse
de_nightmare
de_paranoid
dr_horrorhousecompleted

what i have tryed is. :

1, remove fast dl - unable to dl .bsp file
2, add fast dl - unable to dl .bsp
3, downloads_simple with this :

sound/dreist
sound/misc
sound/quake
materials/models/player/slow/gaycat
models/player/slow/gaycat
maps

4, used the other file with this :
maps/cs_deadhouse.bsp
maps/cs_deadhouse.nav
maps/cs_deadhouse.res

(and so on, with the other maps aswell, where it has .res and .nav aviable. otherwise just .bsp)

5, reinstalled server, tryed everything again
6, updated my fast dl files..

Yet. i cant make this beep work.. it wont dl my .bsp file nomatter what..

I've uploaded / delete the files like 100 times or more.. yet it wont work..

Even my provider says it should work..

So.. unless you have a "FORCE DOWNLOAD" thing aviable. i'd like to know how else i oculd make this work?

server.cfg does have download set to 1

Thanks for you respond.

Is your downloadurl setup correctly?

I like the idea behind this plugin, but as a plugin author, I doubt my users would like having to set up things in two places (as I already allow them to define their own sounds).

Now, if this were built-in to SourceMod instead...
