Question about downloading script each time

[cocowen]

I know that if you want to play at a server , you need to download two steps , and the second steps only need to download one time , but each time you enter the server the , first step of download have to do , and my question is

I am making a gamemode , the first step need to download 2Mb files

then I add 600 vehilce , the first step need to download 3Mb files

so I want to ask :

1.what increase the files which need to be download at first step , is it serverside script?

2.will it cause many waste of Bandwidth ?

3. do we have some function to control it ? or decrease the files size?

[Jaysds1]

The first download is always the client files, after that, the server files would be downloaded and saved in the players ram.

1. I'm not sure what increases it, but I think it's something to do with how much characters are in a file and integers.

2. It also depends on how you write your script

3. No, we do not have any.

Jaysds1: Server-side code is run on the server, not on the client (pretty obvious).

cocowen: The size increases because you add more files to download, again, obvious.

The first step is downloading, scripts,models etc.

The second step a far as I know, elementdata, playerdata, anti cheat things etc.

The second step got increased by the amount of synchronisation data.

I don't know if that is true what I just did said, but it sounds very logistic to me.

YOU CAN:

3. do we have some function to control it ? or decrease the files size?

1: Just reduce the amount of models/images/music.

2: try working with:
