Does anyone know at what points does the server send the client the sv_downloadurl when he connects to the server? Since I want to override that value using SendConVarValue based on the client's location.

Fake sv_downloadurl to players does just that--uses SendConVarValue on that cvar, which appears to only fake it. However, perhaps you can send 'em the value before they become in-game (OnClientConnected?) but that might not work.

[Russianeer]

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
	if(fakeURL_enabled && !IsFakeClient(client))
	{
		SendConVarValue(client, sv_downloadurl, fakeURL);
	}
}

OnClientPutInServer is obviously quite late for what I am trying to achieve, later than the download. Hopefully if I network it on event "player_connect", it will be soon enough.

Also, I need SendConVarValue(), but since I am writing an extension, I can not use any sourcepawn functions.



Never mind, found this:

PHP Code:

static cell_t SendConVarValue(IPluginContext *pContext, const cell_t *params)
{
    Handle_t hndl = static_cast<Handle_t>(params[2]);
    HandleError err;
    ConVar *pConVar;

    char *value;
    pContext->LocalToString(params[3], &value);
    
    if ((err=g_ConVarManager.ReadConVarHandle(hndl, &pConVar)) != HandleError_None)
    {
        return pContext->ThrowNativeError("Invalid convar handle %x (error %d)", hndl, err);
    }
    
    char data[256];
    bf_write buffer(data, sizeof(data));

    buffer.WriteUBitLong(NET_SETCONVAR, NETMSG_BITS);
    buffer.WriteByte(1);
    buffer.WriteString(pConVar->GetName());
    buffer.WriteString(value);

    CPlayer *pPlayer = g_Players.GetPlayerByIndex(params[1]);
    
    if (!pPlayer)
    {
        return pContext->ThrowNativeError("Client index %d is invalid", params[1]);
    }
    
    if (!pPlayer->IsConnected())
    {
        return pContext->ThrowNativeError("Client %d is not connected", params[1]);
    }
    
    if (pPlayer->IsFakeClient())
    {
        return pContext->ThrowNativeError("Client %d is fake and cannot be targeted", params[1]);
    }
    
    INetChannel *netchan = static_cast<INetChannel *>(engine->GetPlayerNetInfo(params[1]));
    if (netchan == NULL)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    
    netchan->SendData(buffer);
    
    return 1;
}

I'd recommend testing sending it to the client in the OnClientConnected event, which means you need to create a class that implements IClientListener.
