This variable controls whether resource files (icons and sounds) are automatically downloaded by Dream Seeker when first connecting, or whether they should be downloaded as needed. Resource files are cached (in byond.rsc) for future use, so this should only affect people who have not played the game before or who have not played it for some time.

The three possible settings are:

0
do not preload any resources
1
preload compiled-in resources only
2
preload all resources including those uploaded by players
URL
preload resources from specified file
Preloading resource files will eliminate delays later on, but may cause a very long initial delay when logging in.

Resources may also be distributed from a website to save bandwidth on the machine hosting the game. Simply zip up the .rsc file, upload it to a web site, and put the URL here.
