BullyModder123How about we just create patches instead that can be distributed that holds only the changed data of world.img and just distribute that?
I can show you how to make patches since I have coded my own special patching system for use with bully mods such as that. This will be a easier way to distribute mods that change more then one file and have a simple easy way to install that anyone can follow.
The only catch to this is....you have to have a stock unmodded version of bully to build the patch from and the person downloading the patch has to apply it to a stock unmodded version of bully. I don't know of any other simple way to do this.
I can host files of any size on my server but even with the special deal I have with my isp....I have this feeling that the server bandwidth will kill me eventually since I use around 400gb of bandwidth a month as it is and thats a lot.
I do plan however on purchasing hosting through a hosting company that I am on extremely good terms with considering that their service is the best out there that I personally have used. I may just do that eventually but I have to see where things are going since for their top account which is unlimited everything....and a full dedicated server by itself is $149 a year which is pretty good considering what you get. Might see if everyone would be willing to band together to possibly share costs for that since if we start uploading large files to the downloads section here on the forum, it might end up causing instability with the database since I have a feeling this forum uses a mysql database which does have some limits on sizes and such and a database thats too large will make keeping regular forum backups next to impossible unless you have a large amount of space to devote to just that. Plus I have no idea how much storage and bandwidth is allowed for this forum ....might have to talk to AJ or Jared about this one.
