For some reason, the sounds are not being precached. I checked the code, sv_downloadurl, and sv_pure, and I was still not able to find the problem.

Please help find out why the sounds are not precaching for the quake sounds plug-in I helped create. (link)

Well...If they are done in the plugin itself(should be), then it should be precaching. Perhaps you need to add them to pure whitelist? If they are not precached in whatever plugin youre using, then youd obviously need to precache them.

Turn off any sv_pure stuff and see if that fixes the issue, if it does then its sv_pure related.

I tried that.

PrecacheSound(String:Soundname)?

[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

The following is what I have for precaching files and it is not working.

public OnMapStart()
{
    iMaxClients=GetMaxClients();
    
    decl String:downloadFile[MAX_FILE_LEN];
    for(new i=0; i < numSounds; i++)
    {
        PrecacheSound(soundsFiles[i], true);
        Format(downloadFile, MAX_FILE_LEN, "sound/%s", soundsFiles[i]);        
        AddFileToDownloadsTable(downloadFile);
    }
    
    #if defined HL2DM
        NewRoundInitialization();
    #endif
}

The entire source code is available from http://forums.alliedmods.net/attachm...4&d=1243742395.

File path string is too short.

PHP Code:

#define MAX_FILE_LEN 65 


Use PLATFORM_MAX_PATH.

ok, thank you. I changed it.

However, the sound files are still not precaching.

I tried using a different plug-in to precache the sound files, but the server still didn't send me the sound files. The server sends models, decals, and so forth, but not sound files. Is sound precaching working for other plug-ins?

First of all you could add some debug messages that display
what's going on step by step.

The most important one would be this:

PHP Code:

        else
        {
         LogMessage("[DEBUG] numSounds: %i  -  soundFiles: %s", numSounds, soundsFiles[numSounds]);
         soundsList[typeKey][settingKills][set] = numSounds;
         numSounds++;        
        } 


To see if you LoadSounds() is working properly at all, if it doesn't,
you know why your precache doesn't work

[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

I did that already and LoadSounds() is working.

I also did the below, but there was no error. PrecacheSound returned "true".

if(!PrecacheSound(soundsFiles[i], true))
{
 PrintToServer("Error: %s", downloadFile);
}

Try

PHP Code:

PrecacheSound(soundsFiles[i], false);
