Preloader

Edit: This is no longer required for viewmodel animations which was the intention, so do what you wish with it now.Edit 2: This is required again, due to a valve reverting the change to their sv_pure settings a few months after they had changed it for reasons that have been disproven by Paysus, a person that knows more about viewmodels that I ever will. Edit long overdue but I took a break.Edit 3: This may have been fixed by the Augest 27th, 2020 Patch that "Fixed bsp-embedded models caching rules to allow for reloading the correct model when transitioning to a different map." The game is much more prone to crashing when you preload, after some testing, and having custom files that differ to the server is enough to cause a crash instantly. At this point just keep writing emails to valve for them to fix their misguided sv_pure settings. Here is the video by Paysus, an animator that does most of the custom viewmodels in tf2 demonstrating how custom animations cannot cause cheating by themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FHWArVjR5c Small map for preloading mods, I don't care if it gets a low rating I just though it might be usefull for some peoplePreload custom animations and models here and then you can play them on sv_pure 1, and custom materials will not show up if preloaded.If you would like a way to make it simpler, just add "map_background preloader" to your autoexecThis map is made to be quick to loadFor a prettier but also a solution that does not require downloading my map use: map_background background01This may be slower if you are running the game off of a hard driveFor some reason this map has been featured multiple content creators videos, here is the list of ones I know of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQJ8-_IJO5shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5zUCOU0adg Original source: https://gamebanana.com/mods/69018 Note: This map was automatically uploaded by a bot.
