What are the best practices to share a rooms or a re-texture of a room ?

Hi, when I shared my re-texture of the Boutique, sexybastardo said to me that it would more easier to put everything in the download instead of telling to the others members to run everywhere in the site to gather all components of the room. I think he is right it's more easier to install. I didn't do that mainly because it would duplicate some quite heavy files and take place on the servers (I don't know if space is a problem for this site) and also do some "advertising" for the contents of these modders, and you thanks them when you go download their stuff. What do you think about that? And also do you see others good things to know for room sharing?

If you added objects to a room, it is usually better to point folks to the Object library you grabbed rather then uploading it again.  The size of those things can easily get out of control if folks are constantly duplicating them in re-textures.  Outside of that, everything else should remain with the download as my assumption is your making modifications to the main textures of the room.

Yes, it's what I do: all the files (textures and hook5 conf) which go to Activemod are in my download and for the optional elements it is pointers to down load of their respective makers (for infos my download is here)
