Nah, he's just busy as forget.

I dont think he's been this busy since the release of retail.

How would you know?

So, how will add-on releases work in v18? Have some low-life upload every file that gets released to the archive? Do something similar to RTB's submitting, where the files are hosted on the server?

A billion questions, I am sure he is.



This is nice.  I remember I joined a server on GSF_NYC and it took 1 1/2 hours to load.

I thought the map would be like...love for my eyes, but it was the stufftiest thing I have ever seen.

forget GSF bullstuff.

I tried going to a server that was hosted on this. Gave up after about 2 hours.

Private add-ons will still work right? Blockland will only upload the models, textures, sounds, ect. so it can do that "magic" cache thingy?

It caches stuff to a cache folder when you join, downloaded from Badspot's servers itself. Private stuff he doesn't have will probably download the old way, but you'll get public stuff a lot faster.

I'd like a way to have a add-on(s) that is cached on Badspot's server, but not publicly available for download. A private add-on. So people still get the fast load perks.

As I was saying before, if it did that, couldn't you find the request code for that add on and do it yourself? And even so, people make lots of private add-ons that they barely use, and so it'd just be a clog of old versions of models and crap he doesn't need.

Sure, he could clear unused stuff periodically, but it'd be an extra, unrequired load. It'd also be a hassle for detection and such...
