[v21] I'd like to see custom decals without having to download them

[phflack]

you might as well just download all of the aproved ones before hand then, instead of temporarily downloading anything

But what if I dont want a cigarette downloading something I painted for hours to download it for free?
It wouldn't be fair. No support.

[Poleutrough]

The same thing could happen with add-ons though.

this is true but it wouldn't travel server to server, and wouldn't be broadcasted on a player as he walked about

[Port]

No, I mean they moderate add-ons before they're submitted.

implying you need to submit an add-on to RTB to use it

oi, dumbass. whats the point of painting it if no one can see it in the first place. and i doubt it would download for everyone to use or else we'd all have a bunch of crap filling up our avatar screen. weapons people make don't download for everyone to use in their own server unless released and someone chooses to download them.

[Poleutrough]

Only approved decals?

Well doesn't badspot add community made avatars to the game if he likes them?

[Chrono]

this might be abused because trolls could put bad images as their decals and then that ends up getting downloaded onto peoples computers

You can already put bad images in textures and prints. You can even build bad images with bricks.

i'm not sure what terrain has to do with networking

It has enough to do with networking.

cache.db

And really. When do you ever see your own face/decal through normal play? The whole point of them is to show to other players.


Completely agree with OP. This needs to be done and would be really nice to also have a "Download Faces & Decals" checkbox in the networking options tab in case some people don't want to see them.

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

[heedicalking]

downloading everyone's decals could be annoying. but if the host is using custom decals, you should auto-download them so you can see custom uniforms and outfits and such!

Except that can't work.

Annoying? It would only really be what they're currently wearing, and would stream in-game, stored in cache.db.

Oh, oh, can I copy music from cache.db and move it to my music folder?I.e go to someones server, find music I live, save 2 music folder.

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

[Crêpe]

decal virus?

trolls could attach virus' to the download!

[Chrono]

No.
