Why do People Shutdown The Entire Place To Update? [OT-ish]

When they could just insert and remove a string value of the version every 5 seconds or so using the insert service that checks for a difference since the previous one, and then if different downloads the model of the game again to update it..... It seems much simpler and a lot less of a pain to players to use this approach..

On topic: Constructing a GUI from an Executable Script (even on Notepad++) is a real pain. I've been working on one for at least 45 minutes now... Coding the events gets to be an organization nightmare..

Well, you don't have to shutdown and you could let it shutdown when the server dies, but if you decide to save it to a string in your models, anyone could access your place.

Save as non-public. Duh. It can insert any of your OWN models even if they're not public.

It's a pain. I'd rather click a button.

Because I don't want my models stolen by people whenever I try to update my game.

T_T You don't have to PUBLISH THEM PUBLICLY. Just save them to Roblox. Oh and here's the biggest fail I've ever seen: It's the classic build a fort game. Only the creator stole it and republished it with MC textures instead...

Because if they don't shut down, people don't have to rejoin.

I people don't rejoin, they get less tickets.

Lol. If people have to rejoin they end up leaving #MaxPlayers on at one time/3 hate comments.

And you don't get those one's back for a while.

InsertService uses a cache. You can only load a model once.

You make a set, then make the script get the newest model in the set. If the Value of the newest model isn't the current 'version', it removes the current place and adds the newer one.

"Save as non-public. Duh. It can insert any of your OWN models even if they're not public."

Nope.

Though you could use a set and upload it on some obscure alt.

Still, I prefer just shutdowning, because assets are cached in a kind of obscure way. Sometimes, they don't update, sometimes, they do. o.e

And anyways, shutdowning is just better. Plus it gives you more tickets, lol, but IDC about them.

@Ozzypig:
I'm not sure.
I know that stuff in sets will update their version, so you can check if that's been updated. Then once it has, if you can insert the creator's models since it's their game, you insert the model that has the versionid/id of the Value's Value. Then you have the new place. This SHOULD work if you can insert the creator of the game's models, but I haven't tested it.

Why _not_ just click shutdown? Seems like it'd be a whole lot less trouble.
