Users unable to download sounds

[Weylin]

For some reason people who join the game seem to be unable to download the required wav files.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?


Hell, some people cant join my server, period.


Is this due to firewall issues?

Whodunit? Mobious. He's the one who "patched" the so-called "security hole" which "made SF act like a giant FTP server" and made the game only send bitmaps.

If it's a security hole, it's a security hole.  Therefore something better needs to be put into place that transfers the required data, without leaving a gaping hole.

In my oppinion, security hole > downloading sounds.

Until then *shrug*  distrobute some zip packs.

Now some people are having trouble with some bmps not appearing.
Some ships and weapons are not visible.

People cannot join your server most likely due to your firewall or theres, this has nothing to do with the sending of items.

I'm not clearly sure what mobious exactly did. But honestly, beforehand we could download everything off your computer... I'll have to check and see before 1.3.5 what exactly is going on, but I'm pretty sure he set it to only bmps atm. I'll see about adjusting it...

P.S. Back then we knew absolutly nothing about the coding back then, so yeah

I tested graphics, generally all weapon/ship/moon graphics get transfered just fine, so if theres an issue there, check your firewall settings, etc. Another thing possibly could be a bad dat file.

However, sounds do not copy over, so I'll check this out.

Mobious did it simple and sweet, it was a sinch to add sounds.

Sounds will now send in 1.3.5.
