Point to http to download from server

[elendil004]

I beleive it was UT2kx that did this, but if you joined a server and it had a map you did not, the server config would point your game to the http and download it much faster and without having to burden the server with the load of hosting a game AND uploading maps to people.

Could this work in terms of needed addons for ofp2?

Many good servers have http sites set up where you can go to get the addons and whatnot required for play already, so I cant see how this would hinder anything.

Yes this has been suggested already. The idea was that there would be a link from OFP to a BIS or CM webpage which contained a database of locations of certain addons... you sohuld look for this thread in the suggestions. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
