Serverside Only 2DA's
« on: June 06, 2012, 09:55:44 pm »


               I was reading some older threads, and saw this post by Funky, which got me thinking.  Is there a list somewhere of the 2da's that really only need to be serverside?  I can see this being especially helpful for small edits, which I could then update on the fly on the server copy, instead of having folks DL our top 2da hak constantly.

I am not sure if I am understanding you Light? So your saying they would not have to have the modified copy as long as it was present server side?


That is the reason the cep made a custom hak to begin with. '<img'>

Many 2das have at least some serverside-only modification options. Here's the serversude 2da contents of ours:
des_crft_spells.2da
encumbrance.2da
epicattacks.2da
epicsaves.2da
itemvalue.2da
loadscreens.2da
polymorph.2da
ranges.2da
skillvsitemcost.2da

Note that just because some aspects of a 2da will take effect serverside, others may well require players to have the 2da in one of their haks in order to take effect, requiring you to prepare a download for them. Take, for example, our polymorph.2da. We can edit the items in a creature's weapon slots, and they'll work correctly whether or not players have the modified 2da. If, however, we add additional polymorph forms, players need a copy of the 2da if they want to use those forms.
