Badspot, i found an old guide about adding in a 'setImageState' input for the ShapeBaseImage, how possible would it be to slap that into Blockland while you're figuring out this key situation?
This would be rather cool.
no i want to force people to download textures so they can see prints, custom centerprint bitmaps, and textures on important items such as the playing cards mod for example. nothing else actually matters besides the textures from an actual playability standpoint.
I agree with Brighter Dark here, I know I have suggested it in the past and you have disagreed with me in the past Badspot but it's 2020 I refuse to believe the majority of users do not have a modern internet connection with fast download speeds and quite frankly I think now would be a good time to enable "Download Sounds" by default (perhaps the others but I consider this to be the most important).
You claimed it was to prevent putting new users off by having a long waiting time to join which was fair at the time but now I don't see how it could really take any longer since almost everybody has a decent internet connection.
Aren't new users going to be more frustrated when they join servers and think they are boring because they cannot hear (or see?) certain assets which are vital to the grand experience of the server? Unless I am missing something? can the download speed physically not go any faster is that an engine limit?
Otherwise it seems a bit obsolete to have them disabled by default, practically all other games have downloads enabled by default (Source engine games, gmod/tf2/etc...) which make for an easy and fun user experience without having to constantly remind people "don't forget to turn on download sounds!!!" it should really be the other way around now, users may turn them off if they deem it necessary (I don't know who actually would do this). Yet far more noobs probably don't even realise the option is there and are missing out.
If it really is an engine limit then I can sort of understand.
