How to prevent heads, bodies, or others uploads from being uploaded?
 

Ok. I found a head made by Waffle and it can not be uploaded. I'm just wondering how to do this? Is there a way to lock a file from being uploaded by other people? If so how?

That is the head you can't upload (at least I can't). If there is a way to do this prevent files from being uploaded by other people, please tell.

I don't see you getting too much support here for trying to upload a head you did not make. Although it is not against the rules, it is not necessarily publicly accepted- it still follows the morals that are associated with copyright.

i doubt wafflez cares about that head especially since he hasnt been active in a long time.



OT: maybe they added the gif rules to head uploads :P

Players need 5000 hours in order to upload a gif head :drool::love:

It's and old edit, anyways, and they're quite popular amongst the severs. Honestly I don't think Wafflez would care if he saw them being uploaded a lot.

In my opinion using any graphics another person created and did not give permissions is cheap and scummy. However it is legal in this game.

crap, time to log in some hrs on my main account:'(:'(

I'm asking how do you make it non-uploadable like that? Try and upload that head and it won't let you. A page with an error code pop up if you try to upload. I want to know how to lock a file away so that people can't upload?

wow i guess i got in luckily before the rules were changed then?
<5k hours, but gif head :)

Just change the file name lolol.

Would that actually work?

Finaly someone who I can alway agree with.
And even if it is legal, gfx stealers are basically some douches who thinks they own the internet. You guys keep saying when you upload something, it's basically becoming graal's property, but then it would means that you are stealing graal's property.

yeah

Thing is, Graal doesn't care because people pay for gralats to upload a "stolen" head.

now keepin something uploaded... that seems to be the trick...

getting it uploaded isn't too tough if you're patient...

Some would argue that creating something with the intent of exclusivity is cheap and scummy. Especially in a game where the content you submit is not your property to begin with...

Yea though magically they care when people pay the double of the price of a morph for a body who walks on his 4 feet!
True.
Well they are wrong, if you didn't make it, you need to ask if you can have it.
If you don't have the permission, you don't upload it.
If you upload it, then you are definetly cheap and scummy and a tons of other things that actually count as an insult.

Not really ever heard anyone ever argue that.

Because that's what the cheap and scummy douches use as an excuse to explain their actions.

isnt your avatar wearing jl's tiger body?

That would be cool if they could lock files. But I know it would make the game run less smoothly.

There is no way to really "lock" files. We could do comparisons/hash checks but in reality they are easy to bypass. Something as simply as changing the color of the hair would throw the entire thing off.

It's a lot like games implementing DRM. They put a lot of time, effort and money into preventing people from pirating it... and it's still going to get pirated. All it does is screw over the legit users and at best, slow down the pirates slightly.

No that's my body.
Don't start up that crap again I didn't steal crap, neither did Jester Lapse.

I actually have known you for a while in game even though we have only talked a couple times. You legit create coolest customs so I would be angry if someone tried to deny you as the creator or steal them in general.

Actually, we didn't only talk a couple of times, we used to talk alot to each other when I was in Voyage.
And thanks for the compliment also ^-^
Though the thing is I work hard on some customs, and how do you think they are so cool? Almost no one has them, I give my customs to people I can trust. If everyone had them who would actually consider them as cool(I honestly consider most of my customs with the term Kawaii which is cute in japanese but I'll use this term for now ^-^) as they are right now?

You guys need to understand that Graal isn't like any other game though, once you upload a file it's not yours anymore. Yeah it may be unethical, cheap, and scummy to upload something that isn't yours but at the end of the day, you're much better off with the mindset that 'hey, they took my head/body, it must be pretty good' and be flattered about it rather than get all sulky.

Or, just put a watermark on the file like some makers do, yeah it's easy to remove but it's the only hand you're really dealt with
