Heads stolen and how it happens.
 

You may have heard of heads being stolen on graal and its very easy to do so with the cache files option. People shouldnt have their hardwork stolen people use file manger or ifile to get heads tjat people have made themselves and did not realsse to the public i think this option should be removed and that graal files for heads and such should be encrypted to prevent heads getting stolen its not fair to the owners. If you have had a head stolen that was your own work example not from depot it was probaly cause of the ifile and file manger.i have experimented. With these things and found out how easy it is to steal another persons work wich is disappointing using ifile and file manger can help you get anything really wich isnt fair to the people who worked hard. I think the cache option should be removed to prevent heads getting stolen and that graal files become more secure and encrypted

I drew my own head. I have had tons of requests on where/how to get it... also had people begging me to make one for them...

The point is... in the end... it's a game.

Exactly shouldn't we make the game a bit better and more custom for a specific player?

Removal of cached files will never happen, imagine deleting and reinstalling the app every time you play it because that's what getting rid of the cache would be like.

Now Stefan could have the client store all assets in an encrypted container but that would require the client to have the decryption key, he could make the key difficult to find but someone will eventually figure out how to decrypt it and it'll become another tool you have to run to access the files. Not to mention it'll have a pretty negative impact on the performance of the game in the process.

If someone wants a head bad enough they're going to get it and the effort to slow down the process isn't worth it. We can either not allow customs uploads at all or deal with the occasional piracy.

Someone was selling a head someone made for me a long time ago for a free guild hat, and when I asked him where he got it he said he made it :(

I think if you're seriously going to get really upset over someone taking your custom you made (most people just edit customs anyway?...) then you shouldn't upload it to a game where you KNOW people can download and use your customs.

And like fp4 said, removing the Cache files option for Graal is a horrible idea, not just because it'd be like re-downloading the game every time you play. But not everyone uses it to steal graphics...

I'm not saying to remove Cache files, I'm saying how it's annoying that people take files from there and claim them as their own. I couldn't say much since my friend made it for me. It doesn't bother me anymore since I don't use the custom any longer, but it bothered me then.

Become an admin you will have the right to refund those who copy you :p

We used to be very mad that other servers would take our stuff, but there was actually some sort of language in the ToS for a while about anything uploaded becoming the property of Graal Online for use in any of its servers. By the time we fought to have it removed or reconsidered, most of us had become ambivalent about people using our resources.

The only thing I dont like about the image cache is the memory it eats when 243523453829457 people upload their retina-revolting heads that I unwillingly have to see. But I like my game loading faster than the cache-less flash client. so no.

People stole your heads and you got upset and went to master li's to only master the key of learning "it's a game" you then teach people the ways of not hating people for taking their heads. You are a wise one mr.simons, very wise.

Yeah cache system will not be removed. And by the way your head was not stolen, it is not your head it is the property of stefan knorr

Lol.
It's public when you upload it.

Once you upload it, it's the property of Graal Online, not you.

that's why whenever I create a head I make it say "Sicx" like all over lol
