Redownload custom files?

CS:S Dedicated Server

Is it possible to make clients redownload custom files?

1 of the custom texture files I uploaded to the server had a bad filename and was never actually downloaded to to any clients. And altough I fixed the error by renaming the file and fixing the .vmt file, clients won't actually download the fixed file.

I already tried using sv_pure 1, but that just kicks clients that have the old version instead of making them download it.

Make sure you've added it correctly to your fastdl server (if you have one). Also, make sure you havn't renamed it to a name thats already in use by another texture. You need to make the name unique or it will conflict with other files.

Yeah, I added it to the DL server and the filename was new.

Saddly it's a custom models texture file, so I can't really change the .vmt files name. So there is no way to make client download a new version of the old .vmt file?

I guess I gotta ask the models maker to make a new version of it...

Well the vmt is the file which tells the server where the texture can be found. So if you cannot change this, then i guess not. You should speak to the person who made the model, they will be able to assist you better than i can.
