Sending large files from server to client

<< < (2/2)

Timmy:
Thanks for your input! I’m going to experiment with chunked transfers a bit more.

Garry’s Mod also performs a chunked transfer when sending save files to clients.

First few tests are… interesting. It turns out that you can only send 262112 bytes per tick. I am definitely going to have to limit the amount of data I send in each frame so I don’t overflow the buffer.

Stickly Man!:
Although not very elegant, XGUI's data transfer system can be set up to send chunks of data, much like Mr. President is describing. I think I only used it for bandata because some servers had so many bans- but we've since changed the bans to be queried on demand for performance reasons. :)

Timmy:
Oh, neat! I didn’t know that. I’ll be sure to take another look at the XGUI code related to data transfers. Thanks! ;D
