I have installed a new plugin on Boomer that keeps track of your score and money. If you join spec or even rejoin the server during the same map, your score and cash will be restored when you rejoin a team. :D
Hooray for this:yahoo:
nice one! :thumb:
That will teach the rejoiners..:)
What they said. :D I'm just curious however, how long it takes currently for newcomers to the server to download all our plugins, etc? I know that as soon as I see a server with a load of downloads I cancel immediately, unless of course it's a server belonging to a friend.
Oooh ... No more players trying to swap for more cash :D
i love you
:bitch:
EDIT: Whoops...:blush2:
I mean :withstupid:
Fan bluddy tastic...
Many of us go spec when we need to pop to the loo or get a beer so we don't lose anything, but the ones who do it for dosh? Great! :D

It takes no time at all. The only things that aren't purely server-side are the no-entry decals used to mark boundaries. Nothing else needs to be downloaded.
woah thats great, I ocasionally loose my score/cash because of random DC's, so thats now fixed, ty Whitey :D

As n00b pointed out, most of the stuff, including this plugin are server side and require no extra downloads. The only things I know of that require client downloads are...the No Entry Signs, Admin Skins and a few sound files.
nice:D like in cod:)

Ah even better then! :D

And IIRC when once downloaded they are stored locally, right? I.e. after one visit you will not have to re-download identical stuff?

Correct.

Yeah fortunately, I was just thinking of newcomers. I remember my brother was trying to join the server a few months ago but gave up because the downloads seemed to take a really long time for some reason, i'm wondering whether it was something up with his Steam settings.

Could you define 'long time'? The reason I arrive later in-game is usually when it is stuck in sending... no traffic, it just hangs for 20-30 seconds some times. I always get in the game though, eventually...
The money mod works well. However, you can actually join and get zero money at round start which is not that good. I think the lowest possible is like 1550 at round start if you had 0 from the previous round, without the mod.

I could probably fix that. It's an SM plugin I take it?

Downloading for 5 minutes. I'll have to ask him to try again when I see him next.

Sure it wasn't a map? Skins/sounds/decals combined probably aren't more than a few megs....

All that stuff is on the fast download as well. It shouldn't be more than 1 Mb which is very little in comparison to some of our maps.

You could consider losing the sound files for download, its not like they are used all that often (only hear them on MH when the admins had more then a few beers), and it would make the server slightly faster to join.

I'll do that for Boomer :)

Certainly, it's not a problem, just curious as to why my brother had a longer download time than expected, i'll see whether it's still the same when I see him next. Can go back on topic now. :narnar:
