Server Redirect style downloading

Post by PinItToWinIt »

I play Red Orchestra 2 and on the custom maps servers there is a server redirect where if you dont have the map it will automatically download and install it to your system, Is there a way to implament something like this for MXS? Because that would be perfect!

I think this is a good idea if it wasn't too hard to implement (not sure). It would be better as a message with an option. Something like "You don't have this track, (name of track), would you like to download it?", just in case someone didnt want to for some reason.

im not an expert with this shit, but i would imagine it being super hard, considering that is usually somthing built into the game engine itself from what i understand. But i dont do this shit all the time, so i could be wrong.

It would be perfect for tracks but definitely not for gear, bikes etc.

There would need to be a "Central" location to get the tracks (imo), and not something like Mediafire as links could change.

What if there was another way to host servers that would have the file that contained the servers available for download? It would only put but so much extra stress since they are already connected and sending/receiving from there. Or there could be a set aside amount of data transfer reserved for just downloading tracks.
Just tossing out ideas.
