clark Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hiding data files won't work if someone know enough about computers things they could easly steal it again .Even if they don't see your graphics things , they could easly Rip it from a screenshot or anything like that .

Emy Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The reason why I would want to hide my files would be to not spoil the game for players, if they can easily access a map with all the images of evey single content in the game it would spoil everything in my opinion. And if someone wanted to steal graphics by taking screenshots that would still take a hell of a lot longer than just copy and paste some files.Just saying, when people want to hide files I think it's more likely they want to make it harder to steal than actually just removing stealing at all. It's usually the people who isn't serious about their games that steal graphics.But yeah, I would find a better solution than just make the maps hidden.

clark Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ohhh ^^ i think i know how to do this right click on the folder and property then check "hide" and apply ^^ ( i think)or i have another best solution but requires alot of timechange the folder name (GFX) then make it install with the installer to somewhere else than the client folder and change the directory folder inside the client tooit will take alot of times so don't do this only if you think that the best solution  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highonpaint Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Why do you want to hide it? it is easy to rip graphics from another game, just seems abit pointless to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If you don't want the map files to be read via plain text then encode them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Or customize your saving/loading of maps in any way so another person couldn't just copy your map files and put them into their own server/client to run around on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
