0 Anderl Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I did work on something for loading DFF/TXD files without actually downloading them, but I didn't test nor I have time to do it now. Edited December 4, 2012 by Guest Link to comment

0 Anderl Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Umm Yeh, How exactly did u get about to it?I really need a way arugg I guess it would not work but anyway: I did just like I'd do with audio files ( not streaming ), I create a file on client with the same name and extension and copy data from the file on the server ( in this case, the DFF and TXD files ) to the client file and then I'd load these DFF/TXD files.

0 yvadfulck Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 you could let them out of the meta and put some skinpak to install on a ftp... i tried this,it works... but then again,most of players are not able to install the custom skinz manualy,or some stinky stealing rat can easely have all the mods without having to see the mods folder... you could make it more dificult by renaming the files random and without any logic... like for example bfori.txd to a1.txt bfori.dff to z22.mp3 and compiling your client.lua will make it even harder to use your files but its madness to do... i think waiting mta 1.4 would be the best choise,as you can script a download in this version...
