Author Topic: Would it even be possible with blocklands game engine to make everyone see your-  (Read 1933 times)

Your custom decals and faces without downloading them? The topic name is kind of ambiguous but thats cause I couldn't fit it all in. If it is possible I think it would be a great update. This might belong in help or something but I don't think so. Its not really a request either so... yeah. Would it be possible to add a way for all players to see your decals without them downloading them on the engine type blockland uses?

I know. I have been wondering why you can't see other people's decals.. It might make loading intoa s erver take longer but still. Whats the point in weaing custom decals if no one is going to see em?

"Badspot, will you spend 1,000+ Dollars on an Engine Update to see other people's crappy avatars?"

I'm pretty sure it's possible, it's just very abuse-able. IE, put furry in the avatars folder, everyone is forced to dl it...

Not to mention the extra download time.

It's just not worth it.

You can't see other people's decals because the game doesn't support downloading Decal_Name.zip files. Besides, it would mean not only joining and downloading the host's decals like any other server, but also having constant lag on busy servers because of new players joining and everyone having to download their decals. It'd be a nightmare.

Possible, but not practical.

Since I dunno if this is "cross posting" or whatever that rule is. Is it possible to make decals/faces be forced to download upon loading a server? Like... adding a thing to the zip or something to make it act like an weapon not a decal. I just think downloading decals like you would weapons would be better for roleplays that use custom made decals.

... on a different note, why the hell is nobody able to download prints from my server.

I don't know, I can download prints from people's servers just fine.

It is impossible to make the game show something without it being downloaded at some point. However, it would be possible without any engine modification to make the decal be downloaded when the person changes their avatar.

Is it possible to make decals/faces be forced to download upon loading a server? 

If this ever happened I would find the worst image I could on a goredump and set it as my decal, then I'd find some really screwed up researcho and set it as my face. I'd never have to see it and it'd be great.

It's very possible, but someone would run around with research for a face.

Why would he need to buy a new engine? I'm pretty sure he's capable enough to make a small downloading system that downloads custom decals and saves them to a temp or hidden folder, much like web browsers do.

Just unnecessary.
