Public server bones file sharing
Hi!
I was looking for bones files to spice up my offline games, and had a pretty hard time finding them.
There is one initiative, Geistwagen:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5666
The problem with it is the reliance on it's own repo, there are very few ghosts available since it doesn't
seem to be very widespread.
The idea would be to use the bones files from the public servers. Posting here first since I don't want to start
spamming their admins with mails, don't know how many people would be interested in this. Implementation
only needs making the bones files visible through the webserver, just like the public morgues.
I'd be happy to write a small tool to manage the downloads(maybe split/merge, don't have a clue how do they handle
thousands of ghosts on the servers) if the files are available.
So please:
1. leave some feedback whether you would use such a thing or not
2. if you are admin on a public server tell me how much of a hassle would it be to make bones visible(how large are the files, do you rotate them etc.)
