Re: Two Object Paths (Wishlist)
Re: Two Object Paths // WishlisttechnozeusMay 1, 1998, 6:16pm
Great way of making a general object "library" I would think. Of course the
down side is that it would take a while before objects in the secondary path would load... but if that's acceptable to the would owner, I would think they should have that choice. One thing though... a password would be a good idea, so that people don't start using other world's objects as their secondary path without permission. Here's a suggestion for how that could be done. Zip a file named "password.txt" so that it requires a password to unzip it. The contents of the file are not important. Then when an object is not found on the primary object path, the cache would be checked to see if it had a record of the secondary path as being password verified... if so the file would be looked for on the secondary path. If not, the password.zip file would be looked for in the main directory of the secondary object path, and the secondary path password would be used to unzip it. If successful, AW would then store a record in the cache that the secondary path had been password verified. TechnoZeus [View Quote] |
