Client-Side Datafiles

[Peopleperson49]

Is it possible to put custom sprites or files server side instead of using a grf data folder? The reason for this is that I can go to any server and install there client, then all I have to do is then go to my data folder extract there grf and boom...#&$*! There isn't anything they can do about it! Granted they might not have the db files, but that saves a lot of time and work with the data files or taking there custom sprites yourself.

No, there is no other way.

The Client can't load files from Server and show them ingame.

It must be saved on your computer, otherwise the Client can't load it.

I was thinking something like the client pulls the files from the server as it needs them, but I guess that would take too long and probably cause lag. Thanks for reply.
