how to protect client side script?

[XetaQuake]

hi, how can i protect client side script? so that peaple dont can use it from the chache folder?

or it this not possible?

[tma]

You can compile Lua scripts (see AlienX's freeroam cached files) but then you can decompile them too so what's the benefit ? (It's like Java)

[XetaQuake]

i think not all peaple know to decompile, also when its compiled, the peaple who will use it can see that is not for the public

can anybody tell me the best freeware LUA compile tool that works with MTA?

Why would you need to compile it anyways ...

[XetaQuake]

because

,no matter why, its just a simple question

[szlend]

It's just useless. If someone really needs your client script he'll just decompile it... Best way to hide the damn code is to make as much of it as you can, server side..

[XetaQuake]

yes but when its compiled, he can think "ah, its compiled, its better i dont use it because its not for the public"

Or you can keep it Opensource like everything should be

All this OMG SO SECRET stuff will kill things...

Opensource FTW

well actually its pretty hard to find an lua 5.1 decompiler been on google for a bit most are version specific and whoever wanted the compiler

well i think the same, but the script strongly implemented in the server

hm, and how can i use this to compile stuff?

[Cazomino05]

go into command prompt then cd to the compiler directory (its quicker)

luac5.1.exe -s "path to file you wish to compile"

This will output: luac.out in the compiler directory then just rename to filename.luac

EDIT: how to open command prompt incase you didnt know

start > run > cmd

i thank you so much =) it works fine

thread finish, now i remove it from my favorites

Compiling has the one benefit of reducing the script size. Thats not really an issue for most resources though.
