Besides freeing disk space, I don't see a point in that, since we'd have to re-download everything when we joined a server.

There's another point to having something like that.
When content creators fail to update models properly (they forgot to give a new name eg. Airplane_v2.dts) it causes anyone with the old version to crash or disconnect rather than downloading the new model.
It's impossible to tell which add-on is doing this because it crashes before telling you that it has been loaded or attempted to load. Therefore an entire wipe of all non-packaged add-ons is the best solution. The content-only zips get updated from what I can see unless I suddenly downloaded some obscure weapons in my sleep.

Try not to be such a pathetic troll. It's ever so curious that the only people who try to stuff on this thread are the ones who aren't allowed to use RTB. If you really want to cry about it that bad then email me or start a drama thread. Continuing to attempt to crap up this thread will win you a ban.

Oh, I see now. Thanks for clearing that up.
It's just too bad that it wouldn't be able to detect the addon causing the bullstuff and wipe that instead. I mean, I'd much rather have to delete and replace 1 addon instead of wiping my ~100 MB worth of various server-downloaded addons that I'd have to sit there for an ungodly amount of time while they download again, and I'm sure any other sane person would too.

@Cody574: The fact of the matter is, you are barred and I have no plans to remove that.
@Chrono: Content-only zips only apply to add-ons that have been released onto RTB so people shouldn't be making changes to their add-ons once they're available to everyone. They do have versioning though, so they'll be able to update if people have a more recent version of a particular add-on on their server.
