I understand now. Well, I don't know how putnpc works, but why would it store the file on the harddrive if it was just going to redownload it every time? The whole point of putting it on the harddrive is that it doesn't need to be taken from the server, so I bet putnpc doesn't send the whole script again. Maybe it just sends the script along with something to identify the latest version. If (and only if) the versions don't match then it downloads the latest one. That'd work.
thats what im saying!
that way it only needs to do the TCP send when it needs to redownload the txt. . else he can just use UDP to tell it to putnpc and the x,y and so on..
right now i believe it d/l's the script everytime because when you upload a new txt file the next time u use putnpc it already uses the new one ..
