The problem is that people can steal graphics using ifile. Just the other day, someone posted gang bodies on some website for public download. And long before that a leaders head was taken from ifile. If there's a way to keep customs from getting ripped, let's do it. Is there anyway to "hide" the files from ifile?

Im quite sure it works like this: for example a random player that you havent seen earlier (atleast not since you redownloaded/downloaded the app) enters the room. then the server ask the client ( your idevice or android platform) if the client have the file(s) (body, head, hat) as the person is wearing. if the client returns a no the server will close to instantly download the custom for you. By doing this it saves it into your graal folder making it a easy target for you (or anyone else). The only way i would see this being fixed is if all the graphics was saved serverside instead of clientside (as it is doing right now) which will have both pros and cons. The pros of doing this is:
- No graphic stealing.
Cons:
- Increased server lag (not a whole lot but still some lag).
- People can become invisible if everything doesnt work as planned.
- Custom could easly turn out wrong and not as they are intended.
I agree that custom have to get improved security because it happens to everybody. it has even happen to me once. but seeing how much bad things this method could produce is just making me more and more unsure about it.
if i made it hard to understand im sorry for that. im swedish and my english is decent which is a big factor incase it is hard to understand
