encode image or model

[Fist]

hey!

Is it possible to encode image or model file so people couldn't steal it and when i would need to use it on server i could just decode it through code?

I actually already got it managed to encode/decode but how i could use that encoded image without decoding it into back to image but just using that decoded data ?

You can use dxCreateTexture (the 2nd signature of it) to get a texture out of your variable containing your image data that you can then use with dxDraw functions like a classic image.

Make sure you don't loop the texture creation (I mean don't do that in an onClientRender for exemple) or you the client will eventually run out of memory.

Thank you! That's what i needed.

The wiki states that the engineLoadDFF function also accepts strings of text instead of a filepath.
So reading the file, then coding it and calling engineLoadDFF with that data would also work.
