Error with the data upload

[Heliuxen]

So I was sent a link with the information I need to make it manually upload to the data server for my server. I put it in, and it isn't working. I'll paste the code below.

Code: Select all

local path = "/garrysmod/addons/VC Soldier Playermodel"
local folders = {""}
while true do
   local curdir = table.remove(folders,1)
   if not curdir then break end
   local searchdir = path..curdir
   for _, filename in ipairs(file.Find(searchdir.."/*")) do
      if filename ~= ".svn" then
         if file.IsDir(searchdir.."/"..filename) then
            table.insert(folders,curdir.."/"..filename)
         else
            resource.AddSingleFile(string.sub(curdir.."/"..filename,2))
         end
      end
   end
end

I bet I'm missing something, but I don't see it as of yet. Someone help?

The path at the beginning is definitely wrong, at minimum -- it would need to be "../garrysmod" instead of "/garrysmod".

The old documentation for AddSingleFile (http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/w ... xd2d2.html) also says that it is for content in the overall "content" folder for the server, so I don't know that it will work with addons. You may need to switch to using Resource.AddFile instead.

Your addon itself should really be forcing its own files. Have you contacted the author to see if there's an updated version with its bug fixed?

Did what you said, still isn't uploading the files to the data server. Here's what I got.

Still not working though. Gah!

[Edge100x]

You still don't have the paths right here. I mentioned that it needed to be "../garrysmod" instead of "/garrysmod". This is because the latter is an absolute path and there is no "c:\garrysmod" folder; using the relative path points it to your game install.

Did that, still isn't working. Maybe I'm just... I don't know. These files wouldn't have an auto upload because they are created for a single client, not for mass, but if they are distributed to each client through the upload then it would have the same effect as if it was made for a massive client base.

[Edge100x]

Did you actually have those lines surrounded in quotes in the file? That would not be correct.

[Heliuxen]

No clue how I missed that at all. Okay! We're making some progress, a few of the files uploaded, I changed the folder name to remove spaces and capitals and then re-wrote it.. Still hitting some kind of problem I'm not sure of yet.. A few of the files uploaded.

It skipped over a bunch of files, and the key one, the .mdl. And these files it uploaded to the server aren't downloading, but I'm going to restart the server and see if that fixes it.

[Heliuxen]

Scrapped it, downloaded a new model set and it works, sort of. It all uploaded, but it isn't forcing a download when you get into the server, how would I go about doing that?


It is on the http server now. Now I just need it to force download. Is there a command I'm suppose to do? File I'm suppose to download?

[Heliuxen]

Okay I'm done, realized I was asking the whole wrong question the whole time. Okay, so this time they all uploaded to the HTTP server like I said above, and I used this code:

Code: Select all

resource.AddFile("../garrysmod/models/lucario.dx80.vtx")

end

But it didn't work. I feel really dumb right now.

[Heliuxen]

Figured it out, wrong directory.. Fixed it. Thanks!
