Yeah but WHY do you want to lock the GameModes. There's no reason to do so. It only locks away the ability for other players to look into those files.
I have already stated my reason.
I want gamemode makers to have the ability to lock the gamemodes to play the game how its meant to be played or not.
that means
Two Options.
1: Modifiable GameModes
2: Non-Modifiable GameModes
if a Maker decides a Non-Modifiable GameMode, they can decide to either give or not give the Files to the players to mod thier gamemodes later in the develpment.
this would make both parties happy.
as you stated earlier, .rar files would be a pain in the ass.(excuse my language).
so if the formula doesnt work, you change it so there is an option on how.
Gamemode Folder could be Locked, but you can edit the gamemode within the Vanilla Poke3D.
of course this requires another Poke3D Folder for modding a Gamemode. which is what i did before gamemode was considered.
