Loading Precaches with FRIK_FILE

[Error]

I've tried this with my code and code that GiffE gave me in #qc... and it just doesn't work.

I have these in a file that is loaded:
progs/player.mdl
progs/soldier.mdl

but can't make them precache. DP still says that I didn't precache player.mdl and tells me to fix my code.

if I get the time, I'll get on my lappy and paste the code.

I'm basically trying to make it possible for people to add new content just through my npc scripting language.

[Error]

here is the code GiffE gave me, and can't figure out why it doesn't work:

Code: Select all

void() precache_script =
{
   local float f;
   local string ln;
   f = fopen("precache.txt", FILE_READ);
   if (f != -1)
   {
      ln = fgets(f);
      while(ln != string_null)
      {
         if(strstrofs(ln, ".wav",0) != -1)
            precache_sound(ln);
         else
            precache_model(ln);
         ln = fgets(f);
      }
   }
};


this is being called right from where I had normally done precaches

[Error]

looks like I got it, nm

Glad we could help.

It certainly does work Have used it quite a bit in the last few days.
It needs to have other file formats added to detect which to precache_model and which to precache_sound
