I'm going to assume your inventory is part of a third object, a CInventoryChest or something, because that's the way your question makes the most sense. You may be able to follow the code, because files like dt_send.cpp have a lot of information that could help you. You'll probably just have to do the experiment though.
I wouldn't sweat too much about who gets the data though. If you never display the data as part of the UI then most players would never know. If you're worried about privacy and hacking, worry about that after there are hacks available. If you're worried about network usage, worry about that after servers become laggy. For now, focus on designing a fun game. 2014-02-17 4:34 GMT+01:00 Victor V <vicp...@gmail.com>: > I've done more work since my last post and I have the basics working-- my > custom sendproxy function sends inventory changes to the right client.
