Force players to load brick icons?

I've made to new drugs for my CityRPG and they have "BrickIcons". Players in the server say they can't see the images. Why would this be happening and how can I fix it so they have to download it?

They need to enable "Download Textures" clientsided.

How can you check to see if they have downloaded textures? (And music, for that matter?)

Looking at the Network section of the GUI, the client variables "$Pref::Net::DownloadTextures" and "$Pref::Net::DownloadSounds" seems to be used. You can make a client mod to transmit the data to the server.

Sweet thanks, I'll use this at my server to contain those who fail to download music and textures ;)

You must be missing the part where they would have to require a client-side add-on, because forcing to download a client-side add-on to contain people who don't want to download something makes literally no sense

Before you become too dependent upon this method, have someone explain/research if function GameConnection::onConnectRequest(%this, %addr, %lan, %name, %pre, %suf, %rtb) can fetch the variable. (Or a function alike this.)

I find this situation to be ironic..

Don't worry, they already have to download the client gui to join my server.

If they have to download a client GUI, then why not just change the setting for them?  :cookieMonster:

Although, I guess you just rephrased it in a more simpler way.

Just because the user doesn't request it doesn't mean you can't send it~

Agreed.

Just because the user doesn't request it doesn't mean you can't send it~
So how could you send it anyway?

Just because you send it doesn't mean it will actually be downloaded~

I wouldn't have said anything if that was true.
