Hey,

Basically I want to send the map data to other players before the game starts. The data is stored like old sprite games were a number represents a tile type, not meshes. The maps can be as big as the player wants. (though the biggest I've done is about 23KB)

I looked but did not find a native command to send Files. Anyone know a good work around?

thanks

You can load the file into a memory block, then send the memory block.

for people that stumble on this What I did is I converted the file into an array, then sent it with...

MAKE MEMBLOCK FROM ARRAY 1,mymap()

send net message memblock 0,1,1
