SpecT Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Hello guys! I want to make the download less for the players in a server (Race-DM). So I got the idea to get the songs from web storage and stop the download of songs when a map is being downloaded. So my question is: Is there a way to cancel the event of downloading song - when the map starts it won't download the song. @PS: Tell me if you didn't understand. I don't know how to explain it better so I would try to exaplain better when you ask.
ALw7sH Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 without a custom script loader, idont think this is possible
Walid Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Maybe you can put somthing like that in your meta file "song" download="false" />
WhoAmI Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 You have to change meta of all maps I guess. Don't know if there is another way to do that. I can be wrong if course.
ALw7sH Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) for _,resource in ipairs(getResources()) do if getResourceInfo(resource,"type") == "map" then local resourceName = getResourceName(resource) local metaPath = ":"..resourceName.."/meta.xml" local meta = xmlLoadFile(metaPath) if meta then local childIndex = 0 local child = xmlFindChild(meta,"file",childIndex) if child then repeat local song = xmlNodeGetAttribute(child,"src") if string.find(song,".mp3") or string.find(song,".wav") then xmlNodeSetAttribute(child,"download","false") end childIndex = childIndex+1 child = xmlFindChild(meta,"file",childIndex) until child == false end xmlSaveFile(meta) xmlUnloadFile(meta) end end end idont know but this should works fine Edited April 2, 2015 by Guest
WhoAmI Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Shouldn't it looks like this? xmlNodeSetAttribute(child,"download","false") I changed song to child. And what if there is another file which is mentioned in meta? I prefer to loop through all "file" childrens. Not only one. You have to save file and unload it after editing.

ALw7sH Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Shouldn't it looks like this? xmlNodeSetAttribute(child,"download","false") I changed song to child. yea, sorry i'm just too tired i'll edit it, and thanks -- And what if there is another file which is mentioned in meta? I prefer to loop through all "file" childrens. Not only one. if string.find(song,".mp3") or string.find(song,".wav") then
WhoAmI Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Yea. But, it will check only first "file" child. Not all. If you know what I mean. If first "file" child won't be a song, script won't search for another one.
Sasu Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I don't have experience with XML. for _, resource in ipairs ( getResources() ) do if getResourceInfo ( resource,"type" ) == "map" then local resourceName = getResourceName ( resource ) local metaPath = ":"..resourceName.."/meta.xml" local meta = xmlLoadFile ( metaPath ) if meta then local children = xmlNodeGetChildren ( meta ) if children then for _, node in ipairs ( children ) do local nodeName = xmlNodeGetName ( node ) if nodeName == "file" then local song = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( node,"src" ) if string.find( song, ".mp3" ) or string.find ( song, ".wav" ) then xmlNodeSetAttribute ( node, "download", "false" ) end end end end xmlSaveFile ( meta ) xmlUnloadFile ( meta ) end end end Is it correct?

WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 What the... Al7wsH, why wouldn't you use 'for' statement, which in this case is better imo?
SpecT Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Oh I didn't got the idea of changing the meta with script. Thank you guys! You saved me so much work ... I appreciate it ! The other problem is that that the most maps are in .zip ... Is it possible to edit the meta when they are archived in .zip ? Edited April 3, 2015 by Guest
SpecT Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 toni, try to use Sasu code. It should work. It does, but the problem is that the maps are in .zip. And the maps count is ~1600. And meta editing works only for maps that are in folder.
WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Damn, I don't know if there is possibility to unpack .zip in MTA.
SpecT Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Nevermind, I will try to figure it out. Maybe I will download them from the FTP and then extract all of them and re-upload ... that may take really long time but .. there is no other way to do it.
WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Maybe wait for tip from other pro scripter. Maybe there is a way... Don't know.
John Smith Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 As far as i know zip files are automatically extracted to the folder with same name when running the resource
WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 But it doesn't matter, you can't start 1600 maps in the same time.
Gallardo9944 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Technically, making a custom scriptloader is easier than the method you want. It doesn't take a lot of effort
WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I did something like that. When map is started - it stops it, edits meta and starts again. addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", root, function ( resource ) if ( resource:getInfo ( "type" ) ~= "map" ) then return; end local resourceName = resource:getName ( ); local meta = XML.load ( ":" .. resourceName .. "/meta.xml" ); if ( meta ) then resource:stop ( ); local child = meta:getChildren ( ); if ( child ) then for _, node in pairs ( child ) do if ( node:getName ( ) == "file" ) then local song = node:getAttribute ( "src" ); if ( song:find ( ".mp3" ) or song:find ( ".wav" ) ) then node:setAttribute ( "download", "false" ); meta:saveFile ( ); meta:unload ( ); break; end end end end resource:start ( ); end end ); I didn't test it. Script needs admin privileges.

Script needs admin privileges. I will try it later cuz right now I can't. Btw there is a script of loading the song ...... Most times it's song.lua or music.lua ... It will send errors in the debugscript cuz the .mp3 isnt added in meta.
WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Oh, you are right. If so: addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", root, function ( resource ) if ( resource:getInfo ( "type" ) ~= "map" ) then return; end local resourceName = resource:getName ( ); local meta = XML.load ( ":" .. resourceName .. "/meta.xml" ); if ( meta ) then resource:stop ( ); local child = meta:getChildren ( ); if ( child ) then for _, node in pairs ( child ) do if ( node:getName ( ) == "file" ) then local song = node:getAttribute ( "src" ); if ( song:find ( ".mp3" ) or song:find ( ".wav" ) ) then node:setAttribute ( "download", "false" ); end elseif ( node:getName ( ) == "script" ) then local s = node:getAttribute ( "src" ); if ( s:find ( ".lua" ) ) then node:setAttribute ( "download", "false" ); end end end meta:saveFile ( ); meta:unload ( ); end resource:start ( ); end end ); Not sure if this will work, but you can try

I mean .lua files for markers ... onClientHitMarker , playSound etc ... So if it will remove all the .lua files from the meta .. probably the map will be buggy as fu**. Nevermind, as gallardo said I will try to make a scriptloader, I have ideas and examples so yea. Thanks again for all of that, WhoAmI !
WhoAmI Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Well, you can also open script using fileOpen and find something about playSound. Nevermind, I combine too much.
