Folder constraints

by Ted Lilljegren · in Technical Issues · 07/18/2008 (5:33 pm) · 2 replies

Just out of general paranoia: The contents of the "data" folder IS accesible from client side right?
Or does the server send all the relevant information when the objects are loaded? <-- Does not know nothing about the mechanics of game engines

Yes it is accessible. The client needs to have the models, textures, terrain file etc on their computer in order to play the game. The server only transmits datablocks and mission objects to the client on connect. These "objects" are separate from the actually models/textures that must already be on the clients computer in order to render them.
