What about custom skins? For example in some servers in cs:s, Admins will get custom skins with ADMIN in big bold letters on the backside and frontside, and donaters and such will get too choose from a set of skins.

The wasn't even a suggestion, I was just asking because it'd be pretty awesome, but since you take a negative spin on everything in life I guess that's what I'd espect to hear yeah.

It's not name based, it's hash based. Multiple files with the same name should not give any problems at all.
Downloaded files will be cached somehow. The details are not yet known, but the idea is to have some kind of cache limit and it removes old stuff from the cache. There would be some possibility to save a downloaded file permanently though.
For now, only maps will be downloadable. Exactly as Gozy said, adding custom sounds is only possible by cloning the originals and changing the maps to have different sounds.
|
It sounds like it would cause a lot of download work for what ever server hosts the maps, I would prefer to have thousands of maps in my data folder, rather than having to wait for the same map to download each time I join the server...
|
You would have to download it from the server only once, untill the serverowner decides it needs to be changed for any reason.

I didn't read any other posts other than the first post so forgive me if this has been suggested.
Perhaps make the auto-downloader have "priority downloads."
For example, every time there is a new update, it would page the player and say "A new <insert update here> is available."
However, depending on the priority of the update, it could be decided upon by the player to download it or not. For example, lets say there is a patch update, this takes priority and must be downloaded. However, for things such as maps and textures, they should be recommended, but not required. As for things such as sounds, they should be "extra" and downloaded by choice of the player.

Don't get me wrong, shit's great for maps and texture tweaks...
But umm.. Custom sounds..? don't get me wrong.. if you like being annoyed the fuck out of with custom sounds, that's cool by me.. But is there a possibility to disable them client side?
I really don't want to waste disk space, and have my music interrupted by sounds I really don't want.

What would the down side of linking the deserted chat rooms of the original renegade lobbys and linking them to I.R.C. chat rooms thought it would be more interesting as you can acctually make the chat rooms used.

No, the modified map will either not share the same name as the original (EG: C&C_Field_Mod.mix) or the mods will be serverside and you won't download anything...
|
The filename is unimportant, the version of the map loaded depends on the contents.

The auto map downloader will probably hash the files rather than rely on the name. If you play on a modified server, you will download the modified map once. After you played there once, you will not need to download the same modifications again. The default map is also still available, so you will not need to download that again either.
