Image when downloading

[Axel]

Is there a way to show an image when someone downloads the server files?

[Wei]

I don't think so. Because images are client, so players need to download it.

You can set a text instead of image.

isTransferBoxActive -- click 

this?

First download image.

When image is downloaded draw it and download all next files.

You can set the image resource as map and everything else as script/gamemode/misc, as maps downloads before the scripts.

Then use a timer or so to check every sec maybe if it's done, unless it's a event for that.

And kill the timer when it finds out that it's done.

Edit: Removed lua.

Was never ment to be a copy/paste script, just an idea for how it could be done.

No.

No.

I just tested it on my server and it said that the function doesn't exist.

It seems to work, it has nothing related to version in the wiki.

Example

  
local nWidth, nHeight = guiGetScreenSize( ) 
local sImage = 'image.png' 
  
local tDownloadFiles = 
{ 
    'car.txd'; 
    'car.dff'; 
    -- ... 
} 
  
local fDraw = function( ) 
    dxDrawImage( 0.5 * nWidth, 0.5 * nHeight, 0.5 * nWidth, 0.5 * nHeight, sImage ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler( 'onClientFileDownloadComplete', root, 
    function( sFile, bSucces ) 
        if sFile == sImage and bSucces then 
            addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, fDraw ) 
            for _, s in ipairs( tDownloadFiles ) do 
                downloadFile( s ) 
            end 
        elseif sFile == tDownloadFiles[1] then   
            local uTxd = engineLoadTXD ( sFile ) 
            engineImportTXD ( uTxd, 587 ) 
        elseif sFile == tDownloadFiles[2] then   
            local uDff = engineLoadDFF ( sFile, 587 ) 
            engineReplaceModel ( uDff, 587 ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler( 'onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, 
    function( ) 
        downloadFile( sImage ) 
    end 
) 

meta.xml

  
<meta> 
    <script src='c.lua' type='client' /> 
     
    <file src='image.png' download='false' /> 
    <file src='car.txd' download='false' /> 
    <file src='car.dff' download='false' /> 
</meta> 

downloadFile

This function downloads a file from the HTTP server. This can only be used on files on the HTTP server associated with the MTA server and will only download files from within the folder of the resource that is calling it. The file should also be included in meta.xml with the download attribute set to "false", see meta.xml for more details. If the file has been previously downloaded and the CRC matches, the file will not be downloaded again but onClientFileDownloadComplete will still run.

FROM VERSION 1.3.1 ONWARDS

- downloadFile

the latest stable version is 1.3.0.

I tested your script Kenix but downloadFile didn't work, and the files were downloaded as normally before the script started.

[Michael#]

It must say something in the function page too Just in functions list is not enough, I think.

[Kenix]

I tested it. All working perfectly ..
