Description
Ever experience lag while spawning your favorite FA:S weapons? This addon precaches all of the models, textures, and sounds so they are already in memory when you spawn it!
This reduces lag spikes for you and everyone else on the server! (While spawning FA:S SWEPs, of course)

This is not a weapon, entity, prop, or any kind of spawnable item. It will not appear in your spawnlist. It is not a weapon. Stop asking. I'm no longer acknowledging "Can't find it in my spawnlist/entities tab/weapons menu" comments.

reprecache_fas
is the console command to use if you want to manually precache everything. (Not needed, only there for debugging purposes)

Q/A:

Q: How do I get it?
A: Click the huge green Subscribe button.

Q: How do I use it?
A: You're an idiot.

Q: HALP!!11 It's creating script errors!
A: Bug reports go in the proper discussion.

Q: What's FA:S?
A: It's an addo- wait, why are you here?

Q: It's not working on multiplayer!
A: This addon will only work on servers that have this addon as well. Tell the server owner if you think they should get this addon.

Q: I can't find it in my spawnlist.
A: Get out.


Notes:

• This will increase loading times by a little bit. There isn't that much of a difference however.
• Precaching does use some RAM, not that much though so don't be worried.
• This can have some benefits such as less wait while spawning weapons when in-combat.

NOTICE:
Some of the code in this addon is used from another, since removed addon. All credit goes to them!

The addon should cover the expansion packs as well, if that's what you're asking.

Do you update this addon from ALL Fa:s weapons?
Technoguyfication  [author] 9 Mar, 2017 @ 1:45pm 
Yep, just the FA:S weapons. Makes them load faster though which is always good.

It's working only Alpha Fa:s weapon?

I don't get why people A: Think 0.7 seconds is a big difference. And B: Why people can't just wait for it to load.
