DEPLOY CHANGES
🕑 Added 2020-09-25 20:15:23 +0000 UTCLike i said tons of times, Patreon it's not the best place to arrange and manage (or even securing) the files and patreons
At this point my worst afraid its people don't receive all the rewards properly and its kinda annoying have to copy dozens of time the same file lines to each new patreon, what is even worse patreon don't help at all, some people don't want get message disabling the option
or patreon list not showing All the actual patreons,
Also its annoy too to grab all the links and resend it accidently to someone who HAD that link before
in my meditation time i tried to think in a solution, sadly no matter what i do i cant do the perfect combination of security and Deploy balance
In the one hand i have the leaks
in the other my Supporters
i made a really effective Safeguard for Blaze and Freya for example, BUT it become a nightmare to deploy it
but in the other models Still Getting leak from different sources
so i will try to prevent the EASY automatic leak but try to make more comfortable for patrons to get the models
I have 2 options
1st Option: Patreon post files and Discord passwords
it's the old method, with a small changes
it creates a formal patreon post with all the data of the model and a Link of the ZIP main model
however the ZIP its not complete and the model wont work with the remainings parts of the model
Also in Discord will be listed the other half of the links and pieces
-Pros
-helps to prevent people just download and leak the model, it required a Discord connection
-Its way more easier to deploy
-CONS
- prevent people just download and USE the model, it required a Discord connection
-Patreon have a bad way to showcase the patreon posts so many old post will be hard to find ( i received this complain often an i suffer it when i'm supporting other creator)
-It can looks scammy, (people invest his money here and are probably worried of how the models are deployed and why i delay to post his rewards)
-it not prevent at all the leaks (There's a impostor Among Us) and foreword not a way to legit catch the one who leaks them
(in the Freya and blaze chase they was aware of begin catch if they leak them)
2nd Option: Google Docs
when someone Become a patreon, Will get the discord roles and severals private ways to get the a link for a Google docs Documents where are stored ALL the data from all the available models
easing not the deploy, too for the others find old models
Pros:
-It ease the workflow for deploys, now all will be in a single link where the Passwords and models links as well the blender and other goodies links are stored
-it eases the ways to find the models, in theory the patrons will get the link where its shows all the data for the models in a list so its way easier for them to get the desired model, aswell for all other older or public ones will be listed in a separate field
-It will help me to organize the Stock of models and prevent to forget a specific model for a specific patreon, now all will share the same link with the access to the List
Cons:
-All patrons will have the list of the models meaning what it's more easy to leak all the info,
however i will see how to act in chase a leak occurs.
I will personally go for the option 2
but i want to see what you guys seems more proper
These changes will coming the next month along with the whole Patreon page modifications

Yeah much easier to have a place where you can control who gets what. Also helps you confirm who might be stealing and releasing models to the public or stuff like that

Its a good point of view too, looking for the early votes i can see the people aren't really agree with that I will not discard the potential of both options so instead of using google docs for store the Info of the model files will be used more like a Public index to help patrons /and the others who aren't look for all existent models and look and go for the proper post to get them with the option 1
