Warning about extracting pk3 files.

[WhiteChedda]

It seems raven did something good for multiplayer, and thus you must have the actual pk3 files in the base folder to at least host a server, not sure about joining one.

 

It failed repeatedly for me last night trying to just test multiplayer out and see if there were any errors. That said, I did not check settings, and its possible pure server was on and causing this. Still just want to warn you. This is a good thing, when I first did this, I was worried it would make cheating easy, how hard is it to replace the textures, with blanks or alter some of the scripting code, etc.... I figured the server would force some type of crc check, but those are not hard to forge.

 

Tried to post it last night but these forums do down more than a $2 ho.

 

It also seems to have an error reloading a single player game, sometimes [and this seems random so far] it will get errors loading one of the effects, shadows I think. The game will still run, and I never noticed it looking any different, but the console lists a string of errors loading some effects. It is possible the data is already loaded so its not loading, but I would not think that generates a Warning message, and its possible this happens with the pk3 files, guess I never really checked before.
