Sharing 'Meshes' folder

[froobra]

Are there any drawbacks to sharing the 'Meshes' folder across multiple instances of HB? For example, I create a separate install of HB for each class I bot and I also run two bots at the same time but I point the meshes folder to the same location for each instance of HB. EG. c:\meshes.

Just wondering if this was OK and wasnt likely to cause any unwanted side effects. So far I have havent noticed any.....!

Shouldn't cause any issues at all. In fact; you're probably better off sharing the folders.

The files it downloads are all the same. So you'll be downloading the same file multiple times (and wasting space as a result) by not sharing them.
