Unwanted Files Downloaded before starting sever/sites

[Barker1]

OK This is what I asking.....

Let's say I dont want the "MODS", "Sound Paks" downloaded from a sever I'm playing on.

Everyone else might have it that on it but I don't want it. :banghead:

"Maps" are ok, to download, :chef:

it the extra stuff that I wish to not download. Is there a way to get around this problem.

Don't I have the option to join a sever without it clever files and stuff. I just wish to keep my orginial ET.

I know noquarter and jaymod stuff can add favor and enhance experience but....?

What could I do besides ,leave?
:uhoh:

turn off downloads.
but then u have to make sure u do have all maps/mod specific files before u join.
u cannot specify what to download and what not, not even the admin can this.
would require an extra mod.

[Barker1]

Correct!


While my teammates see the addons and hear new sounds packs playing ,skins and colors .

I'd want to be running in deault mode (classic) mode on the same sever uneffected.

To a littlier end I recall a teaamate said "does anyone else see , white horse on the landmines flags" at the time I had not downloaded that pak. later on I realized what he meant.


But those are simple and optional paks.

The Big One that force you to download or else no play.. :?:

Yeah, but how do you turn off downloads?

[stealth6]

dont think it is possible on most servers, only if the server has the setting sv_pure 0, but that makes it unstable I heard.... So most servers have sv_pure 1

Best thing you could do is just go to servers with no extra downloads.... etpro servers mostly

You can use cl_allowdownload 0 to turn off downloads. Your client will not download files if that's set to 0.
(could be cl_allowdownloads, not sure).

I did find how, but it is not always guaranteed to work. It's under options, then game, then find downloads, and put it where you want it to be.
