Some noob questions
« on: February 23, 2009, 02:50:49 am »
  • If i modify a model (for example...adding a spikes to the goons tail) and then run a server with the modded files: will the players see the modded files or are the models client-side?
  • How much bandwith does an average trem server use per month? (I have comcast with a 250GB monthly cap)

BTW: I know C, just a noob to trem.

Also: anybody know a good md3 export/import plugin for 3ds max?

the clients would have to download your updated pk3. you will be fine hosting a server on a home line but don't expect peoples ping to be good. Comcast's TOS disallows the hosting of servers (unless that's changed recently)

"use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment "
So a dedicated server is banned, but a listen server (Only up when your playing on it) would be fine.

As for bandwidth, 18 players on dev this weekend used over 600/300kb sent/received.
