It takes a long time to download all terrain

I run a home server, and the upload speed is not all that good so it can take up to 20 seconds before all initial terrain has been downloaded and I can finally play.

By changing this function, players can enter the world much sooner (cClientHandle.cpp line 1776)

Code:
void cClientHandle::CheckIfWorldDownloaded(void)
{
	if (m_State != csDownloadingWorld)
	{
		return;
	}
	cCSLock Lock(m_CSChunkLists);
	if (m_ChunksToSend.empty())
	{
		SendConfirmPosition();
	}
}

Code:
void cClientHandle::CheckIfWorldDownloaded(void)
{
	if (m_State != csDownloadingWorld)
	{
		return;
	}
	cCSLock Lock(m_CSChunkLists);
	if (m_ChunksToSend.size() < ((m_ViewDistance*2) * (m_ViewDistance*2)) - (4*4) )
	{
		SendConfirmPosition();
	}
}

It's kinda ugly, and it requires the first couple of chunks in the list to be around the player. Luckily for us this is true Tongue

I think the essence of this change NEEDS to be in MCServer, however it could be a tiny bit neater
