Upload Map as PBO vs. Folder

Recommended Posts

Hello there,

i am thinking about uploading PBO files as Folder on my dedicated server.

But i dont know if there are any security or other issues.

Uploading as folder:

Pro:

- the user downloads

- i dont have to create pbo files

- the user downloads __cur_mp.pbo instead of a named pbo file

- if i change scripts the ingame #restart command will reinitiate the mission download, because files have been changed?

Contra:

????

Uploading as PBO:

Pro:

- named PBO file on client

- The client has not to download my mission, if he has downloaded the correct version?

Contra:

- I have to create Pbo files

With the red marked lines i am not sure.

Has anybody tested the 2 ways to upload missions?

What do you think about it?

regards

Harry

Can you even run a mission from a folder instead of PBO on a dedi? Don't think so... at least I don't know how.

For me creating a .pbo is right-click, Create PBO... it doesn't get much easier than that.

Doesnt it autopack the mission to PBO when you hit "Save As" in the editor and select "Export to Multiplayer"?
