caching

I've heard rumors of an everquest map that got caching to work properly on battle.net. Ive been looking ever since for this version of the map, but didn't find it. However I have an idea on how this could be done. Since the cache is erased when the player leaves the game, maybe saving on the Player Quits event using JASS would work? If anyone here is good with JASS please test this (I know weaaddar could probably cook this up). Or if anyone has seen/or has the everquest map that supposedly does this, please send me it or tell me where to get it :) thx!

its possible. however note that there are two versions of the map: one that caches, one that doesnt. I'm not sure it's the same guy who did both

hot damn! has anyone tried injecting a cache file IN the map!?? i doubt it can be deleted IN the map, and it might check there first, thus saving there and not erasing! i am gonna test this ASAP

ok........ so it didnt work
someone bug weaaddar to experiment with JASS...

also i am gonna try something else: changing the file extension to something else than w3v... maybe there's some hardcode in there that tells the game to delete *.w3v after each game.

[edit]: ok, doesnt work either..
