you can also use precache_generic to download all file type, including txt, wad, zip, rar, etc...

However with precache_model(), you must specify if it's under 'models' or 'sprites'.

Whoops, yeah for got about that.

After next round or next connection, all sprites in hud file are precached and should be used. Please note that physical hud.txt file (in a directory) is firslty loaded than included default hud.txt file in *.gcf file. Use message_begin with the right message id : statusicon = left, ammopickup = right, etc... Best regards.

No. You can't. As whatshisname said, you can't force them to download hud.txt because they already have it.

Theoretically speaking, yes, but it turns out budget as hell. I've done it. When you look up and down the model actually moves with you. It's HL's way of moving the gun to look more realistic..Goldeneye did it a lot better.

You're lettin me down here, man. I have a feeling that you understand the right answer to these questions but you're saying them backwards.

You can send any sprite file you want to a client through a GAMEDLL>>CLIENTDLL message - can be custom or built into gcf

[Zenith77]

Here, let me correct myself.

You can't show/display custom sprites on a client's hud, unless they are already hardcoded in the game.

[Imanoobie]

Wait, if you can replace the clients crosshair?

That would show a sprite on the middle of the screen!

[schnitzelmaker]

The crosshair sprite also read from hud.txt

[Wilson [29th ID]]

But you cannot replace a client's crosshair...you would have to force them to download a replacement which cannot be done because the file already exists.

[Imanoobie]

Aww




Ok
