Best way to compile resources?

[Thelastride]

I want to know what is best way to compile scripts like rhbk's basemode.no one till is able t corack it.Even when you change file size or edit some image.script doesn't work.I tried with LuaCompileENG.exe but my friend decompiled it easily.If you know please tell.I want to release some scripts but only compiled

Maybe this.

ben he means compile what you posteded made sure that file wont be saved in the players resouces folder

And for poeds i think it is very random cuz i had two scripts i made myself (my spawnmenu BIG script and simple info GUI) and when i compiled the info gui i could decompile it but the big spawnmenu i couldn't, decommpiler just crashed so well just might be if you can mnake your code so advanced that the decompiler dont understand it lolz

Yes I know, kimmis (I'm not idiot, you should already know that).

But NeXTreme's way is the best one to avoid resource stealing. That's why I posted it.

Compilers will never be perfect.

didnt say you were an idiot, just corrected you and gave poeds the answer he want

didnt say you were an idiot

I know you didn't.

But compilers will never be perfect. There are DECOMPILERS around the web. So the best way is still NeXTreme's.

i know and i know yeah the way to protect resources in your server is neXtremes way but if he tough of something he wanted to be released and not edited Anyway he got his answer now

Isn't this a better way to protect scripts?

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

Adding lots of whitespace, using crazy tables {{{{{ {}, {}, {} }}}}}, using local variables (or renaming global ones) are all ways to confuse the Lua decompiler.

  
local almightyBunghole = {{{{{ {}, {}, {} }}}}} 
  
_setElementPosition = setElementPosition 
function setElementPosition(element, x, y, z, warp) 
     return _setElementPosition(element, x, y, z, warp) 
end 
  
local function resourceStart(startedResource) 
     print(string.format("Resource %s has started!", getResourceName(startedResource) ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, resourceStart) 
  

If you have something really precious, you could use Ransom's file downloading method.

also decompiling is not prohibitied in the Lua team.

With NeXTreme's way it'll remove the scripts just after they download? if not, you can still steal them while playing.

True, you are the expert after all.

Exactly.
