Weapon Mod Server Side

[Norbo]

An option that you can put a mod to your server, and all of the players will use it, but they will first have to download it (or not if possible)
that would be cool to have a mod for some server
eg someonebody would make a tw mod, then put it on his tw server, and it would be more fun to actually use the ww2 weapons

what u think?

[Ziem]

No?
It was discussed many times.

Having people download the mod would be a waste of space on their computer. The point of having a game be moddable is to have it so people can choose how their game looks...you remove that by letting server owners set a mod for them to have to use =/ Also I can just see some random noob making a porno mod and then having everyone that plays there download it, not knowing what it is.

Dont see why the hell not.  It would be just like downloading a map when you enter a server, only downloading interface and weapons gfx.  But then again theres lots of ways people could screw around and abuse this feature..

If it's used, it should be optional, so if an admin goes bat-shit insane and gives everyone eye-sore gosteks and weapons, you can say fuck that.


Good idea, though.

I like it. We already have maps that are several MB and interfaces with weapon-gfx are max 1 MB or so.

I don't want to join a game, sit there downloading some stupid mod, and find all the guns are dildos. F11.

These guys speak the truth. I DON'T want to download something that is against my taste just to play a Soldat server, and not knowing that it could be full of disgusting stuff. This can already happen in Maps: I downloaded a map from a climb server, and only to later discover that, along with the map, there were some mature images in the scenery (that can't be helped, I had to personally go and search for the images and modify them). Soldat is a free-for-all game, but it should also be kept PG-13 (in some ways) for the sake of some of the players as well as to ensure that the players' computers are not screwed up with because of people trying to be jerks.

So, F11.

Guys....

i think its possible not to make the player download it
just like weapon mods preferences, you dont have to download them, do you
ofc parameters in text are diffrent than graphics, but its not hard just to make it so player dosent have to download the mod.

How?
It's not possible.

Why do people not read my posts? This is the only thing needed to fix the "I don't want to spend 20 minutes on my slow connection boo-hoo" problem.

You could have a checkbox that says:

Download Custom Gosteks/Weapons:
○ Yes
○ No

As for people worrying about R Rated Mute Content and abusing it,
I believe that maps/scenery-gfx are just as abusive.

I went into a random server once and i was walking on R-rated scenery-gfx. Eww.

really good idea

[rumpel]

bääääh bad idea

[STM1993]

Soo... it's optional eh? Guess I didn't read carefully.

Whatever it is, I think the idea is really redundant because in the end, people would rather use something they have made for themselves that they like than waste the time downloading something they may not like.

That could be very true.
You may go into this server and download a custom gostek of a BLACK BLOB with a BLACK BLOB as a gun.
Hurra! 5mb of downloading for nothin.


You could also put a preview pane that shows what it looks like before you actually enter the server.
