well that suxs i see what you mean about people not being able to use them im using a bunch of graphics that i found around the internet for prototyping but there is an old game i used to play that im trying to get ahold of the creator to see if i can remake it on here just wanted to see if there was a way i could protect his art he may not even care because the game is pretty much closed at this point

does anyone know how to protect your game graphics on distribution so no one can just copy them out of the client folder Eclipse 4.0

I have a few questions that i need help with i know i can search and find them but before i purchase this i need these to be answered i have 147 10 days of work ahead of me so you can see im a little short on time so any help from the community would be very appreciative and when i learn more about this system i will return the favor if you have links to already answered questions or tutorials these will be great and i will accept them as an answer, i have no time to test any of these so they may be simple questions 1\. if i buy a copy of gold will i be able to use the gold server that eclipse origins provides for $9 a month and vica versa if i were to use the server first and then buy a copy of the gold server will my progress be safe and i will be able to get it to my server that i will host or find another host? how well is the server that eclipse origins provides.? 2\. i am confused on how the character generator in the class editor works how the face becomes a character sprite in the game does it have 1 hair = 1 sprite hair and so on? 3\. the auto updater for the server is it an update that will go before they log in and is there a tutorial on how to set up so that my small team will have the files that i add on login and anyone testing will not have an issue? 4\. i realy hate the map editor but i will work with it is there a map editing extension where i can work with it in a bigger scale zoom in and zoom out for tools undo redo copy paste or does anyone have any tips and tricks that will aid me because it is very difficult to work with? 5\. i have now found a way to edit pet speeds and other attributes i know it may be still being worked on but am i missing something? 6\. does anyone have any templates or good programs that i can use to make my own character sprites and other assets to the right specs (paperdolls, etc) what sizes and i supposed to be using? 7\. there is no open source code? will there be? i and no coder but i can definitely use mess with it to my liking? 8\. what are the legality on using assets with 2d i work with most 3d and i know where to get assets for use and where to buy ones that i will need but i am new to 2d and i have assets from rpg maker versions can i use these for commercial use or the eclipse assets already in the package im sure there are many more questions but for now these are some PLEASE DO NOT DELETE MY POST i will move it if i am in the wrong place and delete it on my own if i violated any forum rules please let me know thank you for your time i hope to hear back from the community
