Is it possible to create a "cache package" to install/update to your current cache folder, instead adding the files to the regular maps/texture/system map because this will give you "file mismatch" if files are updates/changed serverside.

What coding is UT using to generate the 32 char long code?

Damn I remember the server being very busy playing that map with the old tunnel in the building.

Problem is, changes are good, but people are not comfortable with changes. At the end of the, you can't please every one. There will always be one who will whine about something and I hold my hand up high to admit to this.

Oh Benjy, dont mention old UrbanHotZone and the tunnels, aza is kinda allergic to it LOL

Actually I wonder if the reason why BW is fading isn't simply "overcontent", i.e. too much stuff and experimenting that is going out of control. INV started to decline more significantly as well. Some people say BW was better a year ago.

The game hasn't fundamentally changed, their knowledge and experience of it has.

This is a subreddit dedicated to satirically mocking those people who, blinded by their own nostalgia, believe certain things in the past to be unequivocally better than today.

That still doesn't address potential "overcontent" problem.

That's because "overcontent" has to be the most hilarious "problem" I've ever heard of.

I'm beginning to suspect you might be a fuccboi.
