Community play with Nitrogen + CP, does every Client and the Server need the prefabs?

[marquisor]

Hi there, quite new to the Server topic regarding usage of Compo Pack Prefabs.

 

The world generation with Nitrogen is just fine with the Compo Pack Resources files. I did create a world with the CP46 Prefabs and copied to my 7d2d local folder.

I did not yet copy the Prefabs to my 7d2d Steamfolder yet!

The gameplay though is working normally for me.

 

So if I'd like to play with a community - for EASIEST setup - does the Server and/or any Client need this Prefab installation procedure?

And what if one Client does not install it or not install it correctly?

Are there just buildings gone he cannot see but others can?

 

Regards

I think the server pushes prefabs, so they will be able to see them. The only thing not installing them locally causes is that they won't see the distant meshes for POIs. So they will pop in for those people when they get close.

Yes both server and client require the prefabs in prefab folder for nitrogen and modlet in mods folder for modlet version

Well if the player doesn't have the prefabs he can still join and play, ...

 

but he won't be able to see those POIs when the chunks are not loaded by the player and it will give a lot of warnings when the player connects in console.
