Hajt: IIRC, mods are server-side. What's the point on removing this feature?

@
Starkkz: So is "pointless" to use the mods if the server-side can't support right?

slimK: What are you talking about? You just stated the opposite of what I just said, the server IS the ONE that supports the mods feature.
Edit: Are you talking about the part of the mods being able to overwrite sounds/skins and that stuff? I thought that the server sent that content to the client and afterwards the client loads it.

It's indeed an issue that you can't figure out anymore which file was actually loaded due to the mod system.
We didn't consider this when adding the mod support but we'll find a way to solve it. Maybe by extending
reqcld with constants for all original CS2D files so you don't even need to know the used path anymore.

Starkkz: I was trying to ask if a mod who got downloaded on us.de for example can be used on a server even the owner didn't add the permission to use?

slimK: I only see two possible cases of what you're talking about.
* "I went to the forum and I downloaded a mod for CS2D, I installed it on my client. I joined a public server and I can see the mod working and it's content."
* "I went to the forum and I downloaded a mod for CS2D, I installed it on my server. The clients joined to my server and they were able to see the mod working and it's content."
But I'm not really sure of which are you referring to, I've been doing few tests with the mods feature and the only thing I tested was the Lua feature. Considering the fact that Lua scripts only run server-side I got that the mods are only server-sided, and that the content of the mod is sent to the client at the time that the client joins.
@Any developer: could you correct me if I'm wrong?

Starkkz: The idea behind the mod system was to make it easier for people to replace gfx, sfx and sys. Sometimes you may get bored with the default player skins and want to use a full TF2 player skin pack without having to replace the content already there - so you use the mod system. Same goes with maps and all that kind of thing. This also means no more seperate clients for a whole new look or feel to the game.
Stuff like that, really.

What
Yates wrote is how I designed the mod feature initially. A purely client-sided replacement of GFX/SFX. Server not involved at all.
EngiN33R extended it with the server-sided things and that mod cache stuff. Would be nice if he could comment on it because I'm actually not too familiar with the details and I don't want to tell anything wrong here



Minor but important Launcher hotfix (sorry lol)
Enabling and disabling a mod multiple times no longer leads to loading the mod several times
@
Hajt: That is a valid concern, and it actually pertains to the original design specification of the modding system by
DC. Sadly, just like with the old way of modding (pre-1.0.0.2), there is currently no way to determine whether a person is using modified files. CS2D itself does have some internal safeguards against especially offending files (super large images e.g.), but these safeguards are extended onto the mod files thanks to the way
DC integrated modding with native resource loading. I regret not having thought of this sooner and I will mark this as a high priority task for the next release, because I don't think another hotfix is a good idea at this point
As for what I think about going back - I think the modding system as featured in 1.0.0.2 is a step forward, and with the changes outlined above will become a simpler and more functional replacement for the old way.
