Request - Fast download 1.0

[Ni3ls]

Yes he has in the UP mod that it opens a website to register. I know everybody on 1.0 and dont want to change to 1.3 Thats why im asking it

[php]

The benefits don't outweigh the risks.

Okay skip the website redirecting. Would it still be possible to modified the client exe to have faster download at 1.0?

Nobody stops you to learn Reverse Engineering and hack some code into the .exe and then distribute the .exe to all people you know

[Ni3ls]

I have no knowledge about this (as you can see I already had problems with compiling libcod) Thats why I asked it as a request. If it takes too much time or anything, I understand that no one will try to do it.

Niels you absolutely need this for your zombots server. 120 mo

Its pointless as people will have to visit external website etc to get that modded stuff, isnt it easier to just ship the mod this way? I have a small idea for you though: small change to a download function that will trigger a error message if player doesnt have the files and you can change the error message to what you want.

		//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    Com_sprintf(errorMessage, sizeof(errorMessage), Cvar_VariableString("sv_downloadMessage"));
    MSG_WriteByte(msg, 5);
    MSG_WriteShort(msg, 0);
    MSG_WriteLong(msg, -1);
    MSG_WriteString(msg, errorMessage);
    *(int *)(cl + 134248) = 0;
    return 0;
    ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
	

Add this after line 1721 in libcod.cpp: https://github.com/voron00/libcod/bl...bcod.cpp#L1721
And change the cvar sv_downloadMessage to whatev you want.

Ofc this will not trigger if player have the files.

This works perfect!
