It'll create the folder inside the resource you specified on fileCreate, if not specified, then it'll create it on the same one you executed the function. But you can't create a folder outside any resource.

So there is any way to create a folder for "new" resource?

[Castillo]

No, you can't.

What's the purpose of creating a folder in a client's cache?

Probably wants to download porn to clients!

simple, to save client side settings. (that aren't really important and don't need to be secure)

Like if the client enables shaders/ special effects etc.

You don't want to fill up your data base with that crap.

This can be fully done with a simple XML file. There is even a community resource called 'cookies' or something like that, that provides a good example of storing data in XML files on the clients side.

yes xml file is handy.

But I like to have a full "decoded" version, build with a special structure, that isn't very easy to change.

my structure will looks like this:

gdsayfvsu*sbadfsdgia*safgsyvgdk*iusghidhad*!dsgfsid 

In combination with sha256 you won't be able to trace it back.

When I put that in xml structure, I make it easier for exchange and maybe add able.(outside the game)

Next to that you can send client scripts to reduce downloads. Like a special admin script that only will be downloaded by an admin.

He just want to make a multi gamemode I think..

He want to cache the scripts in the file's memory in a another file, and then stop the resource so he can unload the scripts via that way so he won't use wrappers.

I think, say if I'm right.
