Re: [Virtools] "Texture Load" a distant texture on a web Server

I'll just take this opportunity to add another question on the same topic..

We need to make a level edit tool for an online game, which is not that hard
to do as long as it's jsut the level setup thats changing, we can put that
in an array which can be loadedn by the game file,
But we also need to offer the ability to change textures inside the game
file, the client wil be making new textures themselves.
from the edit side of things this we can do offline, now the problem is the
game file should run online, without the behavioural server.

So we want the game file ( a vmo)to be changed by the edit tool.
permenantly) so the client can uplaod this vmo to their website, this vmo
having an array filled with new data and several textures replaced by new
ones.

So here i get to Arnauds problem, one solution would be loading the textures
form an external location, or having the ability for a vmo to save a changed
version of itself..

So is there a possibilty for any of the two options???
