Topic: Clientside Unique Ressource Repository.

I wonder, we now have for example some more popular tilesets, and I wonder how often I downloaded already examply the same hughe tileset graphics for different maps...

Wouldn't it be much nicer if every graphic image would get its unique CRC number, stored on the client, and the client requests it from the server on join, only when he has that image not already available? Of course every sever has to offer all graphics ressources for the map it hosts... just like today.

Re: Clientside Unique Ressource Repository.

yes, would be much nicer!
