I have a question about the resource downloader.

What can be pushed? DLLs? only maps? Sounds?

Pretty much everything that is read from the data folder. Maps, skins, models, textures. No dlls though.

Is there possibly the ability to send custom scripts in the future? (or now)

Maybe. I wonder if there is a script to make a unit run into u to explode. Like a kamikaze unit.

No, and never. The ability to send arbitrary executable code to a client and having it execute outside of a sandbox would be akin to walking up to a zombie and biting it.

Well ya... I was thinking along the lines of parsable text scripts.. maybe you could bastardize dan's lua engine to allow the pushing of .tlua scripting files Razz

And include it in the full release of tt4. Its a good idea at least ..ya know?

making clients to download and run custom dlls is dangerous. clients can't run Lua files, because TT doesn't use Lua engine.

btw why u need those? i think server with custom dlls is enough for programming part.

Do you even try to understand people's posts?

He's suggesting that we implement the lua engine so that it DOES understand lua.
Also, just that you don't need it doesn't mean others wouldn't have a use for it. I can see why custom client scripting could be useful. Whether it is something we should want from a security point of view is another issue.

Although that would be nice, it sounds like a lot of work, and with only a few applications, we can likely better put our effort in other things.

I bet if you find daniel, you could talk him into rejoining and implementing his lua stuff.. I bet he checks up on you guys every once and a while silently... its very hard to stay away from this community Wink

If not, and hes gone... it has to be ported anyways to 4.0 because half the xwis servers are lua. So you can port it whole and bastardize it for on the fly script downloading..

and who said lua was a security risk? it doesnt touch or execute anything or have to potential to on the client's operating system.....

Also, How do I push sounds? I read all the documentation... There's no instructions for that, just for map files.

Also what wav format (hz,windows pcm?) do the sound have to be in?

Place them inside a .mix file, for example quake.mix does this. See http://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/wiki/index.php/Server_owner_guide#tt.cfg , it shows how to do it with quake.mix. The files can be WAV or MP3 as long as Renegade can play them.

That shows how to add them to your server config.. not how to add them to a mix.
