Forced download not working?

[shanedude]

  Well, I put a song in the forced download part of that "server.txt" and other people don't download it at all when they join.

I run a listen server if that helps at all.

Heres the whole thing -

// You can also add forced downloads here. Make sure you put quotes around the path/filename, and take out the comment string '//'.
// Add as many as you want. You can also add these to your map- or game-specific files.
ulx addForcedDownload "sound/Aerodynamic.mp3"
ulx addForcedDownload "sound/OneMoreTime.mp3"

Any idea why it doesn't work?

[Megiddo]

If you're using sv_downloadurl, it's case-sensitive and needs to be on the web-server. (I'd try all lower case anyways)

[shanedude]

What do you mean? Also, I'm not using sv_downloadurl do I need it? Because I turned it on and still people don't hear the music that I hear.

I also put the song names in all lowercase, if that is what you meant.

[Megiddo]

Just because they download it doesn't mean they'll hear it. I don't believe ulx playsound plays mp3's either.

[shanedude]

Hm, then what format does it play? Because .mp3's play for me, just other people can't hear it.

Thanks for the help by the way.

[Megiddo]

Engine support for MP3 is iffy at best. Wav is what it supports really.

[Golden-Death]

It plays mp3s fine, I can attest to that since its what my Ipod game addon uses. Wav files don't cut it for me, they require a specific sample rate and blah what else to even play.

[shanedude]

Sorry if this is a bump.

Here is the error thing I get, It doesn't make them download it even though I put in the servers config file to download it.

Here it is. Tested on a mingebag.


Client "mingebag" connected (Their IP).
mingebag has joined the game
Timer Error: ULib/server/ucl.lua:601: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

^^^ That, is the error I get.

Also, I have converted the .mp3's into .wav's and they still don't hear it.

I'm off to bed, I'll check this forum tomorrow.

[Megiddo]

That error has nothing to do with forced download. You're putting these commands into server.ini in the ULX config right?

Also, put your server console dump from server start here.

^^^ That's all of it.

[EscudoDenali]

Yeah, im experiencing a problem with Forcedownload also!

I put the minigun swep into my addons folder, and it looks like this "addons/minigun/lua...." and all the other folders in the minigun folder.
So, i dont want people to see errors, so at bottom of the server config, i write "ulx addForcedDownload "addons/minigun"

and it doesn't make them download it! Please tell me what im doing wrong

Thanks

[Megiddo]

You can't specify a directory escudo, you have to specify a file.

[EscudoDenali]

So... that means if I wanted clients to download a swep so it isnt an error, I would have to make a separate Forcedownload for EVERY file in the swep, like all the materials and everything?

[Megiddo]

Yes. Considering there's only two files for each resource (the .mdl and the .vmt), that's not so bad. Adding the .mdl will automatically add all those other model-related files (.vtx, .dx*, etc).

[EscudoDenali]

Well, just curious, is there ANY WAY to make it so that it will force people to download entire directories?
