By using cached maps you are back at square one. The only thing that is changed is that the the official mp missions won't be overwritten. I think however that the problem applies to user made maps as well. Or have I misunderstood the problem entirely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is still folder where we expect users will place their custom missions. Only missions that are autodownloaded (which is normally the only way for them to gei into MPMissionsCache folder) can be overwritten by different version.

Guest Posted July 23, 2002 Ok, I saw now that you said in your first post that the server did check if the version on the client was the same and if not that it would overwrite it. So there is a version check already. That's what I missed. Condition 2) of my condition for no version conflicts was already met. What happens if there are two different versions of a mission, one in the MPmissions dir and one in the cache dir? I assume that the client checks if the same version (as the server) exists in MPmissions. If it does it uses it otherwise it checks the cache folder and finally if no version match has been found it overwrites the one in the cache dir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
