fileexist() question

On clientside, does fileexist() only check the client's folder and not if the server has the file?

Yes.

Next question is how could I manually add a file from the server to the graal directory.

If you mean specifically download a file into /graal/ I don't think it's possible, otherwise fileupdate("filename"); would download a file to it's relevant folder.

So let's say someone overwrote pics1.png.

Could I make it

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerLogin()

{

 fileupdate("pics1.png");

}

To fix the file?

To make it fix the file everyone

Depends on whether the function compares the modification time of the file on your client with the file on the server in order to re-download or if it forces it, but if it does force the download it wouldn't be a good idea to have pics1.png being downloaded every single login.
You'd probably want to be comparing against a pre determined modification time of the original pics1.png beforehand.

Well with the wiki being down I need ask what is the variable or function that returns if any file is downloading currently. I want to suspend my script until the download finishes...

Instead of using script I'm pretty sure you can configure a gupd package, and set the flag to use checksums.

Worked just fine for me. I would recommend using "/scripthelp download" to try and find it. I found:

isdownloadingfiles() - returns boolean - checks if Graal is currently downloading or requesting files from the server

It's not a set list of files to download unfortunately, and when I try to go on the wiki I get redirected to a miss-formatted graalonline home page

Try adding 194.5.30.21 wiki.graal.net to your HOSTS file.
