Unless you use the fmi_file convar, materials will normally only be precached via request, which... is what you want...

And not precaching materials would make it partially useless...

If by material you mean .vmt, it is a wanted behaviour, since you can then random a picture... The .vtf won't be precached however, since it's a helper file.

Dunno if I'm answering correctly this ...

And the long logging makes it easier to debug.

Looks like I have some issues setting this up on my L4d2 Server :/ It just won't download anything.

I've tryed to add a couple of sounds, so I've created a new folder called sounds in my Server L4d2 dir.

After that I setted up my filesmanagementinterface.ini like this:Screenshot

And then i putted it in this dir.:Screenshot

I would REALLY appreciate it, if someone could help me with this issue

Hi,

first, you might not want to put sound ; this will make EVERY sounds you have downloaded and precached.

Second, you're using this, right ? If so you made sure to rename the value of the convar "sm_join_sound" to add the 's' to the sound folder ? (If you don't use that; files should still be downloaded / precached; just wondering)

Third, wow, I didn't know sounds folder name was "sounds" (it's "sound" under CSS/CSGO, even DODS). This cause the sounds to not get precached; but they should still be downloaded...

You sure you meant not played, rather than not downloaded ?

Fourth, try I just tested again in CSGO (which should be using the same sound scheme as in L4D) and I get my sounds downloaded.

5th ; try attachment (consider 'sounds' instead of 'sound' in the code); I also enabled debug (this will spam your console). Tell me if you see something like "found file NAMEOFTHEFILE was a sound; under key = PATHTOTHESOUND".

Thank you for reporting the problem.

Thanks. I'll add it to the 2nd post.

And I don't see what you mean by "hl2/sound/music" didn't know there was such a thing -_-... that's something to add.

Did you try something like "../hl2/sound" ? I think that may work (I'm really not sure as how PrecacheSound works; if it precache search from both folder :$).

After having talk with a duck, I believe using the initial plugin with your folder having the name "sound" would get your things precached (if that was the problem). L4D doesn't have an official "sound" folder in the server side.

In the first case, thank you very mutch for your work and help. Keep up the very good work!

But in the second case, I've tryed to set it up exactly like you have it: sound/joinsounds

I have also edited the filesmanagementinterface.ini and I've added the cvar sv_allowdownload to the server.cfg (dunno if that really matters)

Still no sounds downloaded and yes they really aren't downloaded. My in-game console says nothing

about something downloaded or anything just like that and i don't have those files in my L4d2 game dir.

Should I try it with your edited version and rename the folder back to sounds?

[RedSword]

Yes. Please do that and report what is in the console (_L4D + "sounds").

If you don't have console access tell me and I'll change those into logs.

I do have acces to that. I'll edit this post after i have tryed that. Thank you again!

Somehow I don't have acces to my server console anymore. Strange.

Anyway I've noticed that the plugin is actually working now, it found my .mp3 and precached it,

but still I don't hear any sound after I have joined. I have uploaded my server log right here.
