Okay but what does it do?

#

It takes some of the downloading done at the loading screen and lets you download ingame. to speed up loadtimes to have less disk space on dedicated servers

#

I see.. But the server still has to download the models, so it can't actually save any space, right?

#

the server doesnt need to download the models

#

unless it is a base

I would need to see significantly more documentation before I would ever consider using this.
It needs a simple explanation for what it does, how it does it, and why that is beneficial

There is a video demonstration on the workshop page

#

I'll have a dedicated server setup video later today

paper zephyr the server doesnt need to download the models

the server definitely needs the models/content too, normally via a collection downloaded at boot, how else do you think bones/animations/sequences will work

#

game.MountGMA works well, until you have an addon that caches materials/assets (like weapon bases) before it has been mounted (expecting it to be mounted on loading screen), those will break

#

I think you can get away without giving the server materials or textures

#

But it 100% needs models

#

At which point you'd need to repackage your content for each individual addon

#

not necessarily

#

you could just upload the mats manually to your box but theres just 0 reason to

#

just mount the addon
