Datablocks

Hi

Can I, as a client, modify datablocks?

Or in another way. Is it secure to put information in a datablock which may only be changed by the server, because of cheating?

greetings
Daniel

yep, server only datablocks can only be changed by the server, of course.
If you don't want your clients to cheat, make all client-only datablocks ".cs.dso" files insted of .cs files!

You may be able to change datablock information on the client... you didn't used to be able to do that, but some security code was removed when we did some of the original cleanup. We'll have to get that stuff back in. Should be easy to test though.
