soccer_mod_downloads.cfg
soccer_mod_downloads.cfg is a config determining which subdirectories and files a client should download when joining the server. Usually you want to add every skin / model you intend to use in here but also sounds or other materials.
Attention
You have to manually edit this file!
Each line of the file has to start with soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir followed by a path. The easiest setup regarding skins would be:
soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir materials\models\player soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir models\player
This however adds EVERY file found in the player folder (and its subdirectories) to the downloadlist. So if you added 10 models to your server a player joining would have to download each of those skins first (unless he already downloaded some of them elsewhere before):
Hence it is better to only add relevant folders to the list, like this:
//adds every file & subfolder in the termi folder soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir materials\models\player\soccer_mod\termi soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir models\player\soccer_mod\termi //adds the trainingball model to the list soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir materials\models\soccer_mod soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir models\soccer_mod //adds every file & subfolder in the psl folder soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir materials\models\player\psl soccer_mod_downloads_add_dir models\player\psl
With the above setup a skin which is located in
models\player\tusharsl materials\models\player\tusharsl
as well as its contents would not be added to the downloadlist.
Generally speaking: The more precise the given path is, the less “unnecessary” files your players will have to download.
