from that u can see i have a huge serverpackages list...these mods are there for different gamestyles, as i run a multistyle server. anyhow my question is this no matter what gametype is running clients have to dload ALL of those packages rite? correct if im wrong please

also i was wondering if i took out those serverpackages....and the mods were running wud the server still send the required files/mods?

hope thats clear

The mods won't be running. You can't mod the ini while the game is running, so download they will.

so if i took out the serverpackages the mods wouldnt run?

[J-Raw]

The players who have already downloaded them/got them on their pc would play but others would get rejected with missing package error.

I thought there was a dynamic loader mod that loaded packages only when needed e.g. by gametype? I will see if i can find it unless I was dreamin

this might help, never used it:

[SoNY_scarface]

there is dynamicpackage loader but it is so damn complicated....

[J-Raw]

What kinda set up you got? if your wanting it just by gametype the setup shouldnt be too hard or do you have loads of mods on loads of gametypes

[SoNY_scarface]

its only loads of mods for binslayer J...uv been on my server....i have other gametypes too siege, LGI they have almost no mods running prolly 1 or 2

[J-Raw]

last time i was on your server i just remember being torn apart by paintballs

[SoNY_scarface]

lmao my bad wont happen again but hey J, get on xfire sometime buddy or gime ur msn.....help me setup this dynamicpackage loader thingy please?

i just hate to think that ppl have to load all those packages even if the gametype isnt using that mod....cos i for 1 no it sure is a whole hell of a lot of dloading

[J-Raw]

Ill PM you my msn probably be on sunday daytime

I don't see the problem here. When you redirect those files they will be downloaded before you know it.

[SoNY_scarface]

theres so much to download that ppl end up disconnecting....it takes a while all are on redirect but it still does take 5-10mins to dload them all
