Cache would probably be the wrong name, but a cache of server-downloaded files is redundant. |

Management, backing up when reinstalling / updating, etc. |

A folder for all server content would help organise things, but the changes to the resource manager probably wouldn't be worth it. |

I was thinking Yuki meant a folder for Add-Ons, as in the .zips you download and can run in a server, and a seperate folder for downloaded content, as in, well, the downloaded content. This would provide the benefits I mentioned before, and probably some others I can't think of off the top of my head. |

I'm beginning to plan the server->client rtb gui manipulation but I need to know what kinds of things you guys would need to be able to do. These things include changing colors, bitmaps, control values etc. I will also be looking at introducing cached procedures that can be run from the server. I don't know how many of you are familiar with stored procedures in MySQL but it would be a very similar concept to that. I'll explain for those that don't; As a client is loading the gui, you would also send essentially a "function" which can do various gui operations and take a number of parameters from the server. This means each time you want to do something like clear a list and re-populate it with values, you can call the client stored procedure with a bunch of parameters and that procedure will then clear the list and add each parameter. This saves a bunch of time and network bandwidth because it means you just call that single function instead of sending a "clearlist" and a bunch of "addtolist" functions. |
