I had an idea regarding the use of texture packs on servers. I had an idea where, using the server hosting programming, you could have a texture pack set to it, so when someone connects, it would ask them if they would like to view the server's textures, then letting it show the textures the server was using. this would allow ease for RP or any other type of server, while allowing the users to use a texture pack if they dont care for it, including the default.
What the guy above me said. This idea is perfectly reasonable for mods, but god damn just change your bloody texture pack if you need to.
I'm not trying to be lazy. I always download texture packs needed for a server if asked and whatnot. but it would just be a cool little way to just have the texture pack there to begin with.
Don't worry, OP, I'll agree with you. Simply because this is one of those 'generic' good suggestions. You can't go wrong with it implemented. I'd like to see some real arguments from the opposition about why they don't want it implemented as well. "Don't be lazy" and "God damn change your texture pack," arn't good enough reasons for this NOT to be implemented.
Also it would be nice to force texture packs onto a player's client. Server owners would appreciate it if they could do this to ensure everyone is playing equally. Of course, it isn't mandatory, only an option for the server owners to employ if needed. If a player doesn't like the texture pack that they have to play with, then they can either leave the server or put a complaint to the admins.

As long as the client isn't forcing a texture pack that requires extra programs I think it would be great like HD texture packs. This would stop some people from using x-ray texture packs. That wouldn't prevent x-ray programs but it's a start.
