| downloading add-ons I already have? |

So whenever I join a server, I have the all the download options on, save for music. Now I realize that naturally this would cause me to download .dts files and such, but I've noticed that I'm always downloading add-ons I already have with the download features enabled, and if I don't download them, I can't see the models and whatnot. So before I report this as a bug, I have two questions: 1) Can anyone else replicate this? 2) Is this not a bug at all? |

This is a major blow to the initial user experience. V12 Solution: There are now numerous downloading options in the network settings tab that allow you to choose which things you want to download. For example, if you have weapon model downloads disabled and connect to a server that uses a weapon you don't have, you will simply use the default gun model. There are some clever bits of code in there that will choose a suitable default model - for example, anything with a "melee-like" name such as "bronze sword" or "axe" will use the sword model. Side Effect: When you drop an item there may be some slight prediction errors (warping) because the weapon model you're using might not be the same size as the one on the server. --- End quote --- Is that what you are talking about? |

No. The same thing happens to me, I have the newest timebomb, my friend has the newest timebomb, yet when I joined his server for the first time I was downloading it. |

Are you sure it doesn't just seem that way because of the interminable list of renamed add-on and recycled files in different folders? Can you give me an example of a specific server where this is happening? |
