I'm confused about how this works, in the instructions it mentions that you can add Fast-DL to speed up the downloading of mods for connecting players suggesting that it is optional, but it seems that downloading mods doesn't work at all without Fast-DL? Am I missing something here or are the instructions outdated/incorrect?
I'm trying to set up my own BO1 server running a mod but other people can't join it, presumably because they don't have the mod. Because If I run the server without the mod it works fine, I'm not tech savvy enough to set up a web server for Fast-DL, I could probably figure it out but I don't know how to keep it secure and I'd rather not risk it judging from what I've read about home hosted web servers. So is Fast-DL supposed to be optional or is it required?
And if it is required, will plutonium automatically decompress .bz2 zip files like Source games seem to do? Or do the files need to be hosted uncompressed?
