Force download help

[incognito]

For some reason my FastDL doesn't work. I contacted support. They told me to make the client force download the content.

So, I made a file called downloads.lua and placed it in lua/autorun/server. It didn't work. Here is the file:

Code: Select all

local path = "../"..GM.Folder.."/models"
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 was assured by support that this code was right yet was pointed here for support... which is what I thought they were meant to do. Anyway, the files are in use so I see no reason for them not to download. And I don't see why the FastDL is not working. Disabling FastDL doesn't help either. Could someone please aid me?

Try changing the name of the file to example.lua For some reason on my TTT server I can only get force dl to work if the file is named that. May not work but doesn't hurt to try.

That didn't work

What are you trying to add?

[incognito]

About 10 models and materials that go with it.

Right now I'm just adding every single file. Takes a while but at least it works.

Mine is in lua/autorun/example.lua And to add the ones I have on my server i go thru each model and material file adding it buy using.

resource.AddFile("the file path") but you have to do it for each file. I havent found another way yet.

Hi incognito have you set sv_allowdownload "0" in server.cfg?

I havent found another way yet.

Here you go Resource generator

Can't edit so I'l just make a new post.

Code: Select all

local path = "../"..GM.Folder.."/models"
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.AddFile(string.sub(curdir.."/"..filename,2))
         end
      end
   end
end

Fixed

My apologies I was unaware.

Oh it's no issue, just pointing it out in a shameless attempt to promote the KB :3
