Quest Profile: Mesh Preloader

[benkoren]

Hi there!

Questing profile question here. Is there way I can force the navigator to preload meshes for me? For example, the character is in Winterspring doing 60 quests, and after that it will be heading down to Silithus. Well, if they've never been more south than the Barrens, it takes 45 minutes to download all of the meshes. I'm looking for a way to have the navigator download meshes as if I just told it I want to go to Silithus, but have it load them while I'm still questing up north.

Is this something that's already able to be accomplished, or may be in the near future? The obvious workaround is to manually navigate the char down there via a half dozen RunTo's, but I'd like to find out if there's a more elegant way.

Thanks,

- Ben

I must admit this would be awesome, pre-loading meshes in the background!

No way to preload meshes atm as far as I know. And complains about the time it takes to download them have been here forever it seems. Just nothing done about it yet.

I'm sure a simple plugin or cb is able to do that though.

And a great idea btw.

Preloading would be great. I don't care how much bandwidth it uses, just have it chug away in the background sucking up every little bit of mesh data until it's fully up to date.

I had a brief stumble through the API and sadly couldn't see anything obvious so I don't think it will be available at plugin level, I do however have some ideas which I shall be having a play with tomorrow night!
