Methods

GetNetworkUniqueIdentifier(bool)

Returns a unique string identifier for this DLC including name and version information which may be used between networking clients to compare DLC content in use. Can be used to determine if two network clients are using the same DLC (Or atleast have the same unique key and version) which will usually be a good enough indicator. Be sure to enabled includeBuildStamp if you want an explicit version match of DLC's (Exact same build) as it will serialize the build time stamp for when the DLC file was created and will almost certainly identify that the DLC is the exact same version and build. Even if the unique key and version information match, there could be potential for the DLC's to be matched if the version was not updated correctly for example.

string GetNetworkUniqueIdentifier(bool includeBuildStamp)

Parameters

includeBuildStamp bool

Should the build time stamp be included in the unique string which will guarantee an explicit DLC match

Returns

string

A short string identifier to uniquely identify this DLC content and can be shared between network clients to compare DLC's in use
