Recently i had a player saying "make me a mod or i'll ddos you and steal your graphics"how can i make it so that my graphics cant be easily stolen? Is there a way to encrypt the files or something?

Wortel Angels Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 You know… the graphics are in the Game folder so anyone can get it... just look @ Graphics-> Tilesets/character e.c.t.So.. if you see anywhere your grapics go and say thats your make your game so public that the other know thats yours and they'll play your game :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Even if you manage to somehow encrypt/secure your whole graphics, you can't stop those players from just ripping it from your game. If one is dedicated enough to want to DDOS you for it, it won't be unthinkable of that person to just make screenshots of your game and rip it by using paint.You can't really prevent theft, but you can prevent people from claiming as their own by showing your graphics publicly first (You can just add watermarks to protect it from getting ripped). That way your whole topic is proof that those graphics were made by you (If they were at all) and if someone ever steals it and uses it for their game without permission, you can use your topic as evidence.

The players will continue playing that game with stolen graphics etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Well then decide for yourself, do you want them to continue playing with your graphics with no care in the world or do you at least want to show they stole your shit?Because like I said, they can just rip it from your game. It's not really something you can stop. Almost every game can be ripped, as you can see from the many ripped 2D graphics on the Internet. If you don't want people to steal your shit, then don't make it public and keep it among friends or just don't make a game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
