Posted September 10, 201312 yr Hi, I created a mod but rthe sounds file is 89MB... How can I download the music when the forge checking the validiting of minecraft? Thanks
September 11, 201312 yr If forge can download its libraries, then it should be possible to download your music, I don't know how, but possible
September 12, 201312 yr hrm... Well I would think you could do something during preInit where you check to see if the file exist on the client and if they do not then open an HTTP (or FTP) connection to a remote server grab the files and place them in a specific place. You do have the sound files hosted right? Maybe I am wrong about the right stage to perform that action in but it seems like you would want to do it while the mod is being loaded. There is a mod I have seen that does something close to what I think you want. Its called GalactiCraft, it downloads sound files at first launch of the mod. Also his code is open source so you could look there for the answer too. “Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.” - Linus Torvalds
