This is something we are considering but like you said, it isn't a magic bullet (and there is still the communication issue with an uneducated client, explaining to them what the "pure" verb means and why they care).

It's too bad there isn't some kind of "pure" indicator in the game browser that lets clients know that they are connecting to an unmodified server. With the way Half-Life allows for custom player models and map .res downloads, I guess it would be difficult to determine if a server was "pure" unless you have some checkbox when starting the server that restricted things to "pure" mode (no custom models, sounds, etc.) -- Jeffrey "botman" Broome _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
