everyone

[rikimaru263]

Ok. Ty.

btw love your work satan.

If i have custom models would that cause more lag in my server.

I want to replace like 10 cars.

[SATAN]

10 cars = around 30-40 MB..

BOOOORIIIINNG.. just waiting and waiting to download..

[karlis]

we need a file streamer!is that theoretically possible now with some serverside loads and some sending?

[[NB]ExPloiTeD]

They wont make you lag and 30-40 mb is nothing big really

[Scarface]

It all depends on the server's Bandwidth whether it shall lag during download is in place. No one shall experience lag after downloads are done.

The big problem with it is that i host my server of my own personal computer and it isnt that good.

I have a zombie server and i want to add blood to cars and stuff like that. mabe make a custom bus with guns attached and stuff. Im not shure what im going to do yet but thanks for all your help.

i dont know your net speed, but most of my players got around 1-2 Mbit.. so average is 160KB/s

4 minutes of downloading.

my average is around 100, sometimes more, sometimes less.. i downloaded once 70MB from one server,

it took 17 minutes, great!

and imagine the situation:

most ppl got around 64KB/s upload max.

if they host servers on own internet connection .. its crazy..

5 ppl connecting, so download drops to 12,8KB/s, BUT game data trasnfer is around 4KB/s for player i think (im not sure), so 8KB/s its real..

try to download 30MB with 8KB/s

You guys have forget an good and interesting fact.

The download speed also changes between the amount of files.

Lets say the deathlist resource have around 100+ images ( litle ones with 1 / 2 kb max )

and is around 300kb of download size.

Lets compare:

Side A: Deathlist resource ( the one with around 100+ litle images ) - 300kb download ( just an example )

Side B: 1 txd file including dff - 4 MB

Side B will finish first even thought it has 4mb to download but since is only ONE file it will donwload more faster ( i tested this with textures and donwloads really fast ), its why it was sugested in many topics to implement compression on mta when client donwloads.

I cant explain in a better way but i think you guys got the point, so 30mb of download is not that deal if is with car mods as it only replaces TXD and DFF ( two files. )
