Can't get force download to work. (resource.AddSingleFile)

[zassadgh2]

I have Wiremod and PHX3 and I want to force download models, sounds and so on, here is how i done it so far:

place .../garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/force_download.lua

my force_download.lua contains:

resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\arrowire\Arrowire.VMT" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\arrowire\Arrowire.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\arrowire\Arrowire2.VMT" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\arrowire\Arrowire2.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gate_base.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gate_base.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gate_e2.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gate_e2.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gate_prongs.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gate_prongs.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gps.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\gps.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\hydraulic2.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\hydraulic2.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\keyboard.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\keyboard.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\numpad.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\numpad.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\targetfinder.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\targetfinder.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\watersensor.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\beer\wiremod\watersensor.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\bluredges.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\bluredges.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\bmw.vmt" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\bmw.vtf" )
resource.AddSingleFile( "materials\bmw_bump.vtf" )

and goes on for around 15000 lines.

(the addons work fine) just gets error signs for some of the things.

when I try to connect I do not get force to download anything from the phx pack but a few files from wiremod?

searched forums but I could not find any place where it says how to fix this.

thank you...

It would be better just to tell them to download the SVN's themselves otherwise you are going to loose a lot of players to an excessive download time.

When/If I get force download to work I was thinking of setting up sv_downloadurl so it would could be downloaded faster, and I seriously hate error signs.

That's understandable, but it would still take a very long time to download since PHX and WIRE contain over 10,000 files, even with FastDL.

I know, but is not fun to play a game where there is a error, and it is mostly for friends.

.... now i just hope that the force download is possible, I tried everything.

Use resource.AddFile

[lua]
resource.AddFile("models\yourmom\poop.mdl")

[/lua]
