Why

Let's say you have a folder with a lot of files in that you want to add to downloadables. Maybe this folder also has subfolders and everything. Now it can be very annoying to add them one by one. Thats what easydllib is for.

Interface

class downloadables: def __init__() def add(dir,ignore=None,only=None,maxsize=None) dir: path to folder/file. relative to gamedir ignore (optional): File ends that should be ignored only (optional): Opposite of ignore, only file ends in this list will be included maxsize (optional): Maximum size of files to be included def apply() # Applies the downloads to the stringtable def remove(dir)

Usage

import easydllib def load(): global downloads downloads = easydllib.downloadables() downloads.add('/sound/manysounds/',['ztmp','wav']) downloads.apply() def es_map_start(ev): downloads.apply() def randomFunction(): downloads.remove('/sound/manysounds/somefolder/')

If you don't understand the example above:
import easydllib:
This imports the library to be used
downloads = easydllib.downloadables():
This creates a class that will be used by this addon
downloads.add('/sound/manysounds/',['ztmp','wav']):
This adds all files in the folder '/sound/manysounds/' including subfolders to the list, except files ending with 'ztmp' or 'wav'. The list of endings to ignore is optional!
downloads.apply():
This should be called on load() and es_map_start(event_var) as its the function that actually fills the stringtable.
downloads.remove('/sound/manysounds/somefolder/'):
This removes a folder/file from the downloadables list.

To Roach^Flo: Without his huge mental support I wouldn't have been able to write this lib. He was a great help in a hard time :D
