You can already put bad images in textures and prints. You can even build bad images with bricks.
There's a picture of a snake in my spaceship's shower room! :D

On a serious note, the host can temporary download the decals and approve or disapprove some. You know?

E.g.
Logs on blockland with snake Shirt
Me: Ohai!
Console: The host disproves of your torso decal. Please change it.
Me: No! That was my snake!

decal virus?

trolls could attach virus' to the download!
dear god you're an idiot

I can't help but stare at your picture... Its hypnotizing..

well, maybe you can "host" the image for the amount of time your playing in the server, and when you leave, you stop "hosting" and it doesn't get downloaded to anyones computer
That's what temporary means.

well, you can attach a virus/RAT to an image, but add-ons can't modify files outside of the blockland directory.

And sadly this is true.
Anyways this would be nice but I think the player should have the ability to block the decals/face on the player using menu options on specific players using the server list, or a menu pref like download decals and download faces.

Overall just a way to block the images using the server menu.
For yourself only.
That means anyone who hasn't blocked the image to their Blockland can still see them.

on a slightly related note, it would be nice to have everything in a specific part of the decals list; for example, military decals would be in a different section than space decals. the decals would have a sorting system similar to the bricks system, but it is sorted by a line in a text file called "sort.txt" in the face/decal .zip directory.

dear god you're an idiot
that was a joke
Only soever people will get it because on Badspots Block Party somen kid said that RTB contained a virus

Every single Sandbox game except for ours has this feature, and it kinda makes me sad that we don't :P

I'm pretty sure each individual client would have to download the decals from the server. Unless Badspot wants to make a cache of all the approved decals and put them into some kind of universal system. Like roblox. :cookieMonster:

Probably. It's a database file. I'm just not sure what to use to get the files out of it.

The universal system seems like a good idea to be honest.

But it has its flaws, like what if the Universal System's Downloading Server is offline, everyone is stuck as a normal Blockhead.
