Unblocking it would still affect GMod10. GMod10 downloads Lua files using the downloadables table method with a dua extension, into a seperate 'download cache' folder, then uses the files from there.
Ideally there'd be a callback into client.dll from the engine saying like "hey should we download this file", then one saying "hey we downloaded this file". And ideally it'd download more than one at a time. Especially if it was just being HTTP redirected. But life ain't that perfect. garry On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 3:22 AM, Haza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Blocking lua files in other mods is just stupid, what happens when the mod > developers use a different extension, or none at all, I just think this > hot-fix for gmod 9 should be removed from OB. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Swires > Sent: Thursday, 11 September 2008 11:50 AM > To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Client File Download > > What are you talking about?
