Quick Question About the Expansion Packs

[YoloSweggLord]

When someone without the expansion packs tries to join a server with the expansion packs, why doesn't the game simply download the expansion pack objects being used, as if they're custom rides? Could this functionality be added to the game?

The expansion objects work differently. I'm pretty sure the reason that the custom objects are load-able is because they were made by the fans too be auto-downloaded/installed. The expansions were not, as this could be used too basically spread 1 copy of TTP around the world with just a few saves. Adding the expansion content for free is a definite NO. Because that would be illegal.

You must know this already YSL, but instead of this the servers will have icons in front of them that indicate whether Expansion Content is being used from either of the packs, and will be greyed out if it's not. I think this is far more practical than what you are proposing. If not icons, probably ticks or something.

Basically, what he said.

Ah, that seems like the obvious answer now that I think of it. Legality hadn't occurred to me at the time of posting this.
