This is in response to my unanswered post about preload_rsc. I'm imagining in this situation that it is working fine, but for some reason it doesn't work for me.

Well looking at the problems with downloading resources in a large-scaled world and I was wondering how I would go about creating a patch feel.

My idea is to set this in the primary game.



Then in a separate DM file set this somewhere



So it would download the resources in an external environment for the game you are currently playing.

Now what I'm wondering is how I would go about checking for a save file I threw in with the resource zip file. I'd use that as a means of checking whether the player can log in to the game, or if they will be redirected to downloading the patch.

I would have no trouble actually putting the file in the resource zip. My problem would be setting up a check to detect this specific file from where it downloaded to.

Any ideas as to how I would go about looking for it? I really don't want players to have to unzip it in the correct location manually, I hate to say it but I would probably lose alot of incompetent players.
