Loading Files

[Kniaz]

I do this a lot when I'm browsing servers, personally...

[Ad Bot]

[AirGlider]

i get people that join my game, leaving after they realize i am only using 3 mods.

anyone who just installs the game, can join my servers nearly instantly. but dumb blocklanders these days are spoiled with all the bullstuff vehicles and guns they want but dont use. they refuse to do anything else.

Name the mods. Now. Lol

i use stuntplane, fillcan, and duplicator

[Moppy]

My favorite way of keeping people out is by having the ion cannon.
It crashes any incoming people when they try to load it.
It's brilliant.

I hate it when my loading bar freezes and I can't play on the server.

Best there is. Although, i'd probably add minijet, RTB, and Munk's server pack too.

[Bisjac]

well i have rtb, it just dosnt matter to people who join

im thinking of rolling out the banhammer on my server now whenever people complain about long file downloads.

i mean sure on average people coming to my server have to load about 1k files but come on 30 mins is not that long, they could play minecraft or something while they wait

No, that's way too long

[Port]

just ignore them lol

[heedicalking]

i have over 1k EASILY for a new player lol.
most ppl say it's worth the wait though. and those who don't think it is still had to wait anyway

If only Blockland's networking was faster...

My guess is that CDN downloads are faster because of an arbitrary limit put in by Badspot so it doesn't eat up all the bandwidth, but it would be nice to at least have the option to disable/raise it on the server side or provide a second CDN to attempt to download from (because, really, downloads from a server with 100mbps upload shouldn't feel like modem speed).

[Corbiere]

When I first loaded up the update which introduced the current loading system with the CDN and everything it was considerably slower than what we had before. Okay, it's also better, but whereas you could get onto most servers without any problem simply by unticking everything in the networking options a year ago, you now have to wait out hundreds of tiny files.

So yeah, unless there are a lot of players on the server, I know the server is worth it, or I just have nothing better to do I don't wait out the loading.

cant RTB assist in giving us addons (that at least are on rtb) when joining a server?
that could free up tons of upload from the host.

I join a server with 2k files in less than 30 minutes thanks to Verizon FiOS.
People need to stop complaining about the server load because its not the hosts fault, its the person connecting for having slow dsl internet.
