Milestone Question

I realize it is prolly a little pre mature to ask this but..

in Milestone 3 I see :
Material data no longer sent over net

is that suppose to be Material data sent over net ??

I was under the impression "Material data not being sent over net" was on the bug list. Or is it going to work in a different way..

We'd eventually like to have it so that when you connect to a server you don't have to wait 10 minutes for all the materials to download.

That is on the bug list because I set it up for them to be sent over the net UNTIL I later set it up so they are client side only. They have to be sent across the net the way it's set up now or networking won't work properly with TSE. In the future, the Materials will be restructured so that they aren't datablocks and they won't need to be sent across.
