P3D Models cannot be transferred over network as other files
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Multiplayer-Servers which use an Addon which contains 3D-Models (.p3d) must always be downloaded by the joining user, otherwise he won't be able to join the server.

I don't know any solid reason to transport .sqf, .cpp, .hpp and even sounds over network, but not 3D-Objects. IMHO this was actually expected by many addon devs.

on-the-fly addon downloading would give the mod scene an enormous boost

will be easy when extending SteamWorkshop so that mod download via SteamWorkshop is possible :F
voted up anyway

That would be pretty awesome.
