Einstein Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Hello Team and Users, i would like to wish me a function in MTA:SA to delete the ressource on the client when the player leave the server or when the client ressource will be unloaded. I hope i post nothing in the double Einstein
Winky Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 What's the point of that?! Downloading the resources evrytime again when you join a server.
robhol Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 No point in it... resources will be updated when they need updates. If the download system needs changes, it's to fix those pesky 0-28 errors.. Or maybe it's been done already. What do I know?
Gamesnert Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 What's the point of that?! Downloading the resources evrytime again when you join a server. In the case of many files you can delete them to save some space? In case your hard drive is full? It might be handy to have a function in the resource meta.xml to delete all client-side scripts after use, so nobody can steal your stuff. But deleting all the client resources? No idea what that could help... Einstein, could you explain what you are suggesting it for? What it's use would be?

Saving disk space is a shitty argument - nothing's preventing people from wiping their resource folder. As far as "stealing" goes, that would be ridiculously easy anyways. Window mode.

Thats what i mean Like robhol said this is pointless. This isn't going to stop people from "stealing" your scripts. Besides everything that has been written to a physical location on your hard drive can be retrieved even after you delete it. The only available option atm is compiling to binary and source obfuscation. But you should really ask yourself if this is worth the effort because most scripts are easy to replicate anyway.
