Author Topic: Why do you have this add on?  (Read 3401 times)

I go to a lot of servers where while I load, I look at the loading bar and see that I'm loading something that seems completely unrelated to anything on the server. Be it weapons, vehicles, sounds, music or mods, sometimes there's just certain add ons that seem useless. I find this to be the case with music most often, since I stupidly decide to download music. I can honestly say that I think that "Rock and Roll McDonalds" is the most useless song add on I've ever had the displeasure of having burned into my ear drums. And yet, I've never been able to avoid having it downloaded when I download music from a server. I don't know why so many people have it.

I just don't see what's so hard about disabling the add ons you aren't going to need for your server. Because let's face it, most of the people who have the huge lists of weapons on their servers, are probably never going to use any of them. It's just a waste of time for whoever is trying to join a server.

Share your experiences of people having useless add ons on their server.

Some interesting add-ons I've downloaded from servers:

Projectile_Masta
Vehicle_BABY
Vehicle_Combine
Vehicle_Orange
Weapon_Pizza
Weapon_Pong_Rocket
Weapon_Random

I totally never have random or useless-to-the-gamemode weapons on my server! Why are you so suspicious? ;)

Why are you posting topics that are like drama topics but not making a drama topic about it in the drama section?
I like Rock and  roll mcdonalds.
Heres a quote I made up....
Quote from: ShadowZero
A game is not a game without music.

Things you can post here:

    * Stories of online betrayal
    * How tribal/offensive/noobish certain users are
    * Who you should or should not ban/admin


From the drama forum. Which of these applies to this thread exactly?

Well I can understand why people would say that a game needs music. I can't understand why people would want music that sounds like an overweight American Idol competitor being dragged off stage by his neck whilst still trying to sing his song. Maybe I'm missing something here since I've never played L4D, but I don't think Rock and Roll McDonalds has much to do with the game. So why would a person building a model of the game add it to their server? This is what I'm talking about in this thread. I'm not trying to say "Rock and Roll McDonalds is a bad song, don't download it." I'm saying "Rock and Roll McDonalds is a loving awful song, don't add it to your server unless you plan on using it."



I agree OP, and so does this guy.

Even if that's in Drama, I still don't see how it pertains to any of the three things listed in the sticky.

I wasn't saying it should be in drama.
Just that you're not alone in your opinion.
It belongs here I believe.



Maybe they think they could use the add-on later on but they never get around to it.

Yeah, if they want to change what they are hosting but dont want to rehost to enable/disable addons.
As long as they dont have every single one of their addons enabled... unless they want to host a freebuild after their DM or whatever. (Unless its a farm)
