I use the following code:
1
os.execute("C:\Counter-Strike 2D\CounterStrike2D.exe")
But it is not working. This possibility does not exist or am I doing wrong?

I don't get your point by "necessary to use the downloaded files", could you please explain it better? Anyways, to make you clear, os.execute requires an operative system command in order to execute it or such. So, in this case this is what you should do:
1
os.execute("start C:\Counter-Strike 2D\CounterStrike2D.exe")
Yet I wouldn't recommend it though because of what user Yates said.

Uh, CS2D does not have any client side Lua so trying to do this would be impossible. And even if CS2D supported client side Lua it would be blocked anyway.

Also, you can dump files into sys/servertransfer.lst

Using downloaded skins weapons.

1
os.execute("start C:\Counter-Strike 2D\CounterStrike2D.exe")

It works. But if there is a space in the name, then an error "Folder not found" (a standard folder called "Counter-Strike 2D")
There was a question how to solve this? For example add & # 32, but this is not true.

If it doesn't work with a space then you should probably surround the executable path and name with quotes.

I still don't understand why you're doing this. You do know that Lua scripts are executed server-side, right? And that Lua scripts are not transferred to players.

@user EngiN33R: Oh damn! How could I not think about it.
Thank you.

Two more questions ..
1. Is it possible to start a game that connects directly to the server? For example like: cs2d://127.0.0.1:80000
2. How can I find a path to the folder with the game? (Because not all located in the 'Program Files')

My answer on my second question:
1
os.execute("start CounterStrike2D.exe")
Right?

Why are you trying to do this exactly?

You have told us nothing of what you fully want to accomplish by doing this. Right now everyone here believes the same, you are trying to start an extra CS2D for a player who connects to a server on join, which will not work on a dedicated server, by the way. Yet you pursue whatever you want to do, which makes me wonder if you are actually trying to do what we believe you are doing.

That won't work at all though. Yes, sure, you want to execute CS2D binary executable although you have not defined the path of it thus returning an error. It can be done through some methods. That's self explanatory really.

Could you rephrase that? If you're referring at transferring files such as sounds and images then it can be done through adding your files path to the servertransfer.lst file just as it was mentioned by user Yates already. Less hassle.

A month ago I had the idea to use a weapon skins like in CS Source (if you played it, it can be seen, and if not, then yes, there is a weapon skins (!) the truth of CS:GO) *It's plugin

I came up with the substitution of the system of game skins on their own, even created a thread in the forum (do not worry, when the player leaves the game files are replaced back to the standard), but in the process of writing the script, I was faced with the problem that the running game will not see these replaced files. So I decided to stop.

But now I had a new idea based on the previous one:
1. The player comes to the server by downloading transferlist skins (I do not know what you write to me about it, I'm well aware of that )
2. Writes data to a file server (server ip, port, downloadable skins)
3. The game window is closed and the third-party programs (Skin Manager) I wrote it on the PHP Devel Studio because of all the languages they know best (but if plans succeed to rewrite Delphi, because it's my quite complete performance)
Yes, in the writing of this commentary, I realized that you can just close/open (reopen?) the game, but in the Skin Manager I made a map previously recorded information about the server and loaded skins, as there can be restore standard (default) skins/make backup files if, for some reason, this is not done automatically.
4. The player chooses the way to the game, presses runes and (if you answer my previous question about whether you can start the game with the right to connect to the server), then pressing it connects to the server and plays the defined skins.
5. When leaving the game, all nourish the starting position.

Translation is terrible, I know, but I hope you understand what I mean.

1
os.execute("start \"Launcher\" \"%cd%\\skins\\manager.exe\"")
(code worked)
Оон, I ran into a problem, I do not know why, probably not enough memory, but files can not be opened. I tried to open a plain text file - and it opened.
1
os.execute("start \"Launcher\" \"%cd%\\skins\"")
Also open...

upd:
Daaamn!
Serverlist comment:

Only images (bmp,jpg,jpeg,png) and sounds (wav,ogg) are allowed! Other files will be ignored!

My idea was again down the toilet

-full / -fullscreen (Run in full-screen mode)
-win / -windowed (Run in windowed mode [Default])
-dx / -directx (Use DirectX [Windows only])
-gl / -opengl (Use OpenGL)
-16bit (Use 16 bit colordepth)
-24bit (Use 24 bit colordepth)
-32bit (Use 32 bit colordepth)
-w X (Screen resolution width [Default: 640])
-h Y (Screen resolution height [Default: 480])
-noopenal (disable OpenAL audio drivers)
-j ADDRESS / -join ADDRESS (Join a server)
-pw PW / -password PW (join or host with this password)
-map MAP (Host with this map)
-name NAME (Host with this name)
-maxplayers MAXPL (Host with this max players amount)*
-port PORT (Host on this port)*
-rcon PW (Host with this remote control password)*

*) setting will become unchangeable at runtime
**) new directory must contain all required CS2D files
ATTENTION: Do not use any whitespaces!
Use ? (question mark) instead of spaces (for paths etc)

Example Commandline:
CounterStrike2D.exe -map de_dust -pw SECRETPASS -win


Why don't you let the player browse through the serverlist himself? (unless you want to make this tool for your own server)

Quite a neat idea. But you're thinking way too hard, just let the user select the folder where the CS2D executable is located with your 3rd party program. No need to go looking when the user can tell you and you save it.

Sorry, but when I go to a server, I don't want the server to place executables on my machine. I don't want the server to mess with my files. I don't want the server to start and stop tools.
