Overrides

[Sass]

This one should be well known by our 'cheater' community. Since I am not fully informed, I need to know the technical truth. In CTM 0.39, can all graphics be overridden by a player? For instance, can a player override a zone's shipset if that zone had created an lvz file which included File=ship1.png (etc for rest of ships)? My understanding is that the ctm client was designed so that this is always the case - but here's what i've done to try to override with no success:

 

[after clearing the 'Use Optional levels graphics and sound' option on the game client]

1. I've moved ships.bm2 into the zone folder of the zone i'm in. Still - ships are what the zone owner made in their lvz file.

2. I've moved ships.bm2 into my root continuum folder. Same - no override.

3. I've create ship1.png in my graphics folder to see if it would override ship1 from that zone - no dice.

 

Is there any way to override the ships in the zone? I'm not looking to cheat - matter of fact, i'm looking to see if my zone's ships will always be my zone's ships regardless of what a player tries to do to override it. Also - if no override on ships is possible what about other graphics?

 

Thanks for your help.

stick it in the graphics folder?

if you don't set your lvz as 'optional', people will only be able to use those...

 

It might not be impossible to byp!@#$%^&* this, but don't even bother considering that... How many people will actually go through the trouble of byp!@#$%^&*ing this, just for your zone... not many.

 

stick it in the graphics folder?

If you change the ships.bm2 in your graphics folder, it will still be overridden by any zone using custom ships in their lvz (else you'd always override them with the default ships.bm2, hm?)
