TASClient: Dont block joining when you dont have the mod?
Posted: 25 Jul 2008, 16:36
It is proven that less people download the mod if they cant join the battle when they dont have the mod.
I proved it by making a map with kernel panic mod inside, and hosted it as BA game, 16 people joined & downloaded the map, but when i used KP mod nobody really joined there, except those who have played KP for ages.
Could it be made so you can join in battle even without having the mod?
This would increase the popularity of other mods.
Or we just need auto mod/map downloader integrated in lobby client + you also should be able to join in battles where you dont have the mod, otherwise the auto downloader wouldnt have as good effect in increasing other mods popularity.
Edit: this is a request for official lobby client feature
