IndexFiles(dir,ext)
IndexFiles(dir,ext,string)

Creates a space delimited string array of filenames, minus the extensions, in a given directory

dir - A subdirectory of the levels directory, for example, IndexFiles(webgifs,ext) would get you to the webgifs folder

ext - the file extention to list

string - the string to write the list to

examples:

IndexFiles(midis,mid,client.midi);

would list all of the midi files in the graal2001/levels/midis folder, and write them to the client.midi string

I've tried asking for such things many times. I even made a list of posible commands that were exactly like the stringarray commands, only would effect each line (Dilimited by a NewLine). and stuff, but I think this isnt a top prority. ateast is hasnt since the first time I asked. X_X. its a shame really, it would be a good thing.

Could also be used for an automatic update-level bot, an image/gani downloader...

Automatic update-level bot? Please elaborate.

Isn't there already a message code to test if a player has a certain file?

1) Like something that runs a for loop through all the levels to send an update command to RC.

2) I mean a preloader to facilitate loading all such files in advance to reduce load times etc later.

The point would be to update all levels swiftly to remove putnpcs left around by hackers etc

updatelevel doesn't remove putnpcs, and since putnpcs are laid serverside it shouldn't be much of a problem

putnpc is layed clientside, putnpc2 is serverside, however there is a disable put npc option in the serveroptions so you can get rid of it altogether.

I always thought it was Clientside, but I guess I could be wrong, the last time I used it was on a server w/o an NPCs Server

How would the contents of a player's Graal folder be useful to that?

ok, ... mmhmm putnpc and clientside information are stored in the .ext of the sistring data line of the newstat production folder next to the oldstat production folder.. this could easily be mistaken for a new code that would update levels quickly and swiftly, the .txt also in there will explain all the file ordinance which can also be noted as the Systric datafileCdat the {playerstopdancefart} will help in various areas of the dancing raccoons. I know I am an idiot when it comes to scripting I just read this and have no idea what any of this means please delete this as soon as you see it.. its late and im about to faint.. time is going.. I wish I knew how to script bah damn Chicken wings..

yes Kai I know how big of an idiot I made myself look by posting this. Yet I still posted it HA! I am an idiot with .. no self esteem... please kill me please..

I assumed we were speaking of serverside files.

The reference to webgifs suggested otherwise, but I guess it could be implemented on both.

::shrugs:: Serverside would be useful too. Maybe IndexFiles() for serverside, and IndexFiles2() for clientside?

Why have different names? It'd do the same thing in either environment.
