Can I force download of models from my server?
 
Hello, I switched over from HPB Bot to GraveBot and what a difference!
These bots are evasive and much harder to hit. Great job!

Im running a dedicated server and would like it when people join they automatically download the models Im using with gravebot.

Right now, Elvis, PinkPanther, and Scorpion, are being seen as orange guys when they join. Im using an http site to host my maps, res files, and models, -so the maps download to the clients faster, but the models do not automatically download to the clients.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

i only use crossfire for the model downloads but you can add the models downloads to other maps(all the maps in your mapcycle if you wanted).

if you are taking advantage of sv_downloadurl make sure you upload the models and the res file to your webserver also.

Thank you.
Is there any possible way to specify certain models for certain maps though?

Like Crossfire: I want
bot1: gordon
bot2: scientist
bot3: gina

For Datacore: I want
bot1: pink_panther
bot2: scorpion
bot3: gman

For Stalkyard: I want
bot1: gman
bot2: zombie
bot3: homer

Is there a possible way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

With HPB i think you could have done that by having a custom bot cfg file for each map. I am not sure if it can be done with grave_bot though. I guess you will have to wait and see if Ghoul can give you an answer to this.

I believe the only way to do that would be to write a plugin.
