He means if the map uses models etc too. Isn't there a way to include all that stuff into a bsp now? -- ** Draco Coder for Perfect Dark and Kreedz Climbing http://perfectdark.game-mod.net ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Hook the filesystem's read funcs, look for it reading a .res file, and fake append your files to be sent to it. Muh :/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] Question about Precaching in Source.
It'd probably be easier to find out what the server is doing with the inputted .res file, and calling that function inside of your server plugin, no? - Original Message - From: Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 6:24 PM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Question about Precaching in Source.

Re: [hlcoders] Question about Precaching in Source.
To me it's a choice between hooking an exposed, globally accessible interface func, or rooting through the engine for some func that will move every update and differs on every platform, then figuring out the proto and calling it correctly somehow. Bleh D: In theory it's pretty simple, and I can envision those hooks being useful to have anyway ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Question about Precaching in Source.
because it's annoying to play a game of CS and have it sound like UT, q3, and a mash of a few movies and TV shows. Seriously, how often will the sound be used, and would it _really_ add something useful to the game? Every server adds the same damn doh and multikill sound sets, but they invariably have different names. I don't want an 800mb /sound/ folder like I did in the last days of CS, and I sure as hell don't want to download the same frigging files every time I connect to another server (I have steam on a drive just big enough to hold it and a couple other games.) Besides, you haven't got a license to freely distribute most of those files, correct? You really don't want iD and Digital Extremes, not to mention Matt Groening, to sue you, do you?

Automatically. Now, in Source, if we want to add a sound, or a model, using a server side mod, we have to go make res files for each different map in order for the resources to be sent to the client. If the server has a lot of maps, and we decide to add, say, a sound file that players hear when someone says doh!, now we have to go to every res file and add the sound file. Rather annoying. What was wrong with precached files automatically being sent to the client when the server precaches a resource? Why isn't it like this in Source? If the server precaches a file, chances are the client is going to need it, right? - voogru. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
