This plugin allows you to place your decals to specific positions on a map. (like Mani's map adverts)

ConCommands:
decal_pos - Prints the coordinates of the position you are looking at to the console

I only tested it with CS:S... But it should work with other mods

Version 1.1

 - Now the decals cache will be delete on map start

Latest Version: 1.1 (11 December 2006)

It seems that it doesn't work for DoD:S.

Does someone had any success with this plugin and DoD:S (mani decal doesn't work neither) ?

[Knagg0]

It works without any problem with DoD:S.
I tested it on a linux and windows server...



When you download a decal from the server,
then you have to reconnect to see this decal.
I guess it's a bug in the source engine.

The advertising plugin that made all the news about having Subway ads on a CSS server had that same issue. If you hadn't downloaded the material before it won't show up until you reconnect (or maybe change maps).

Plugin is working fine (meta list) but decals don't seem to be downloading for me. (Have tested after reconnecting twice and switching maps).

Also, where should the test one (my_logo.vtf) you created in de_dust be appearing?

Make sure that "cl_allowdownload" is set to "1" (def. value "1") in your client config.

Thanks it is, we have a few custom sounds etc on the server, which seem to be working ok. For reference we use sv_downloadurl for faster downloads, and I mirrored the files there too.

If it helps:

Windows Server
Beetlesmod 1.0.1.64
Metamod 1.3d
- DeadVox
- FakeClients
- World Decals

Everything seems to be working, just the decals aren't downloading to clients.

Out of interest, how come the "my_logo" line in your config doesn't have "materials" in the path?

"de_dust.txt"
{
"my_logo" "decals/custom/my_logo"

"downloads"
{
"my_logo.vmt" "materials/decals/custom/my_logo.vmt"
"my_logo.vtf" "materials/decals/custom/my_logo.vtf"
}

"decals"
{
"my_logo" "-275.658844 -1280.031250 165.761124"
"my_logo" "1024.031250 3255.948975 -15.806966"
}
}

Because the PrecacheDecal function starts in the materials dir

Is there any output on the server console?
Are the files on the server and webserver in the same/correct dir?

Did you test it with an other map?
Try this: addons/decal/de_dust2.txt

"de_dust2.txt"
{
	"my_logo"		"decals/custom/my_logo"

	"downloads"
	{
		"my_logo.vmt"	"materials/decals/custom/my_logo.vmt"
		"my_logo.vtf"	"materials/decals/custom/my_logo.vtf"
	}

	"decals"
	{
		"my_logo"	"-698.845703 -640.031250 224.579346"
		"my_logo"	"296.424500 2048.031250 -36.423077"
	}
}

The map files will only load on map start.
You have to change the map, when you edited it.
