-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I would imagine that would be a huge security issue if that were possible. If a server could force feed me a plugin, and presumably load it, it could do all manner of evil stuff to my game or my system. That said, it would be very cool to have a communication option available between a server plugin and client plugin that was optional. The last patch for Enemy Territory added the capability for a user controllable pipe between client and server so raw data could be sent and could be process in callbacks on the client. Similar capability would be very cool IMO, but forcing the plugin on users is a big nono in my book. Alternately with the proper knowhow you could probably establish a seperate connection between a server plugin and client plugin with your own network code, if there is functionality to get the client ip in a server plugin. I wouldn't get my hopes up about something like this though.
