DP SV PRECACHEANYTIME
From Quake Wiki
This extension allows precache_model and precache_sound (and any variants) to be used during the game (with automatic messages to clients to precache the new model/sound indices). Also, setmodel/sound/ambientsound can be called without precaching first (they will cause an automatic precache).
