Hey guys.
im after a link or for some 1 to make this.

Ok as soon as some 1 joins a server there forced to dl a file e.g wads

because alot of maps require wads.

if some 1 could link me or make it.

if you can make it please make it like a file.ini

have name
"swiny.wad" /

or to insert a maps.
"swiny.bsp" /maps/

or sounds
"swiny.wav" "/sounds/player"

Thx

anyone feel free to correct me but arent you forcing ppl to dl whatever u want if u put it in ur server and correctly place it?? also if its sounds and models and stuff like that (INCLUDING WADS) you can create a .res file and add all the files and their location in there and that should force players to dl.

swiny69 · 05-20-2006 , 07:19 Sorry

and i aint making a res.
so if u can please make this it be great thx

The interface you're requesting is pretty hard to do. If you want to force downloads, you can simply make a plugin like this:

Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

public plugin_precache()
{
    precache_generic("mywad.wad")
    precache_generic("mywad2.wad")
}

And edit it to your needs.

If I'm not mistaken, a plugin to do this has already been created. If memory serves, the name of it was oriented towards "sound".

why dont you want to make a res file??? lazy?

its a 2 min thing

allenwr · 05-20-2006 , 17:47

lol 30 seconds for res, not 2 mins

here i show you

Step 1: right click - new text document
step 2: title .txt to name of map (optional)
step 3: put in all files that are related to certain map
step 4: file save as *map*.res
or, you can put in everyfile into one res, save you time and never worry about a hacker joining.

the reason you wont have any hackers is because no one will ever join your server if the download takes 3 days...

so just do steps 1 - 4...

Yea, pretty much...
wanna know why .res files are used? 'Cause they work.
i mean, why waste amxx code for a job simple text can do?

oh and those res file programs... you dont need those...
right-click -> open with -> notepad
