no possibility to load private stuff

[p2sta]

few days ago, I was browsing the gears ingame and I noticed I have tons of stuff that are private, just for us to see the rider, so...the idea I got....I think it will be not even a lot of work to do....

if you release something that is private, you will do an extra file, eg. like we have it now for the number colors...let say rider_body-Thor-Flux p2sta.png.private
and if there is file like that, this gear will not show up in the game menu, the game will load it if there is the one who is using it online, but you(other user) will be not able to choose it in the menu.

As I said, I think it's not a big problem to make this possible, but I can be mistaken for sure
but it will:
1. clean the selection menu so you don't have tons of stuff there which you can't even use
2. help to avoid people using private/team stuff

I like it

Such a good idea.

This would be nice. Im sure ddmx will incorporate a feature like this into his 20current project.

very good idea

[Joe]

That is a great idea and that would get rid of people using team skins aswell

Nice idea piista! I definitely like the "looks" of it.

This would be nice. Im sure ddmx will incorporate a feature like this into his 20current project.

If it's a good enough idea for jlv to implement I'll surely follow suit.

I won't describe how, but it would be pretty simple to hack that. Not sure if that makes it not worth doing or not.

[p2sta]

thanks guys, glad you like the idea

jlv, I know it is pretty simple to hack it...but well I think this would help to keep things sorted, if somebody want to use stuff that he should not use, he will do it anyway...but there is lots of new guys, that even don't know they can't use team gear/bikes...this will kinda make it easier for them..and for us to have much cleaner selection in the menu

Nice idea

I think this is a brilliant idea (P2sta). The people that would hack this, probably also hack into other .saf files. Theres no way to stop them. This could be mostly for clearing up selection menus, and avoiding people the temptation of using it.

If a skinner were to make this file, how would he designate who sees the skins in the menu and who doesn't? I don't think it could work by UID because this system would also need to work offline.

[p2sta]

well you will make two(or more) safs...one with the file for other player and one without it for the guys who should see it...
if I do a skin for myself I will not have the file but for the public release I will put it in, etc...that should work fine, right?

[Chris183]

yeah that would be really nice
