Time Nick Message 08:45 ANAND MT has 1000 unique forks! Yay! 08:45 ANAND Used to be 998 even until yesterday 09:44 Krock nice 09:44 Krock o/ 09:44 * Krock gives sofar a non-white avatar 09:57 ANAND Heya Krock :) 13:03 ANAND Does the image[] formspec element display only those images sent to the client when connecting? 13:03 ANAND i.e. images in the textures/ sub-dir? 13:04 sfan5 where else would the images come from? 13:04 ANAND Elsewhere within the mod's folder? 13:06 Krock or the player's texture pack 13:06 ANAND These are images that could potentially be added/modified/removed when MT is running, so it isn't feasible to place them in the static textures/ dir 13:10 ANAND I'm making an in-game catalog of maps for CTF, and I'd like to optionally display screenshots for each map. 13:10 ANAND Thing is that maps can be added/removed during runtime, and the maps dir would be parsed again upon entering a chat-command. 13:11 ANAND Maps are not bundled with the (sub-)game, and are linked to the repo via a sub-module. 13:11 ANAND This allows servers to add their own maps, or accept map submissions from users, and load the map into the game without having to restart 13:12 ANAND It's also an unnecessary extra step to manually copy all the screenshots to the mod's textures/ sub-dir 13:13 ANAND So I was wondering if there's any way to send media to clients during runtime 13:13 ANAND CDB does send stuff while "connecting to the server", for example ;) 13:13 ANAND does not* 13:14 ANAND AFAIK, the content repo uses the same media cache too 15:07 rubenwardy ANAND: CDB works because the images are downloaded in the client 15:07 rubenwardy ie: the images are created in the filesystem *on the client* 15:07 rubenwardy whereas a mod would be making them on the server 15:18 ANAND rubenwardy: The images are sent over to the client from CDB, only after which they're created in the client's FS 15:19 ANAND Similar to how mods work, in a way. 15:19 rubenwardy the mainmenu downloads the images and places them in the file systel 15:19 ANAND But AFAIK, only the media (i.e. screenshots) of the visible page is sent 15:19 ANAND Or not 15:20 rubenwardy it is not possible for the client to download more textures after the game has loaded 15:20 ANAND What am I thinking... lol 15:20 ANAND afk for a bit 23:59 Sokomine my system froze during mt running. this hasn't happened for a while. wonder if mt is the cause
