Nero Mich · August 23, 2008, 02:36:56 AM

I join a server, and I start download add-ons like
Mini+jet but i already have the minijet
So i leave the server and join another..suddenly i am downloading ALL OF MY ADD-ONs with [1] at the end or 1_ at the front...Sometimes event 1_Weapon_Mp5+[1] stuff like that...
So like +s instead of spaces...
Why?

Are you serious? Badspot spends all his time making a foolproof system to stop add-ons being stuffed up but still the morons manage to do it.

Its not their fault
Its something with V9
I highly doubt that almost every server I join does this due to incorrectly installed addons

EDIT: I was also hoping this would say: "Badspot this is Ghetto"

Or they are dumb and when they make their own versions they rename the addon.

Also any, ANY editing to the name of the .rar will cause the game to see it as a different addon, it's the fault of idiot hosts who rename their stuff.

Regularly deleting all the folders in add-ons helps. I think that if you go to a server with add-on idiocy, then host afterwards, it might spread. Maybe I'm wrong though.

not unless its a music file.

you can't enable addons with no scripts, and when you DL them in a game, no script is DLed.

Well, there are a few problems with the add-on system, for example, the fact that the server uses the zip filename, it should use the name that is inside the info file, this way, the renaming problem is gone.

Also, blockland should keep a small database of all files downloaded, together with the checksums, to make sure, no add-on is downloaded two times, that wouldn't be so hard.

I think when RTB 2 is out we should stick to it when it comes to add-ons, just join servers with RTB2, this way we can also see what add-ons the server have.

Let's just wait, things will clear up over time :)

I bitched about this to him yesterday on his server(and others, I was PISSED) and he says most of the renaming issues come from a quirk with mediafire and Internet Explorer. Together they change spaces in file names into underscores.

I know, if I wanted to wait 15 minutes to download everyone else's handicapped song choices I would enable the option. Sadly that disabling it doesn't work.

If there is one thing I want fixed, its that damn music downloading.
