[Tete omar]

Hello everyone.

there's a many of hackers of servers and thieves of scripts by the host with { Back up button }

so

i want the pure solution of this issue .. if someone stole my scripts and by the host , is there any code blocks what he theft ?

[ fileDelete ]

or something ?

if i make my host un-backup .. let's suppose if something happened and all my scripts was deleted or all gone

how do i back it up again ? .. no-way , back up , or let someone steal your scripts

i want the necessary precautions of this issue for me and for all !!

You could make a server name check/something that your server has that others don't have and if it's not the same/does not exist it stops the server, then add it to the main file of the resource you want to protect.

Don't forget to compile the script then, otherwise there would be no need for that cuz everybody could delete that.

compile script doesn't support .. if someone decompiled my script : |

Then you can use the protected node in meta.xml for Windows or wait for MTA Developers to fix it if you use Linux.. I don't remember other way which would fully work.

If the host stole your scripts?...

You could try doing this dodgy 'encryption', but it can be easily reversed (it should confuse a few people though).

local code = "if getServerName() ~= \"Example Server Name\" then stopResource(resourceRoot) end" 
local result = "loadstring(" 
for i=1,#code do 
    result = result.."..string.char("..code:sub(i,i):byte()..")" 
end 
result = result..")()" 

You can then paste the result somewhere in your scripts.

If the host stole your scripts?

This only happens if you choose a trash host.

This won't help, everybody will can simply delete that unless they're too nabs.

Also, you forgot to mention that this code need rights to stop resources.

No Anderl it's not a dirty host, the host's member is the dirty. someone stole my script and i just saw it on another server and he accused me that me who stole his script

so i wondering if is there any protection LUA codes

[Tete omar]

mm, so what the necessary precautions of this issue ?

I discovered that, if you put this function https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxDrawColorText inside your script (client) will make it impossible decompiled.

i never knew that

anyways, teteomar, Did you check out MTA's Config Feature?

There is another way instead of keeping your resources on the same hosting,

you could put all your resources on a Webhosting then direct the httpdownloadurl to the site url, or the folder with your resources in it.

[Tete omar]

you mean download websites ?

like

mediafire, rapidshare, hotfile, etc... ?

[Jaysds1]

nah, you could put your resources on a webhosting like 000Webhosting.com

or webs.com .

[Anderl]

That way does not work Jaysds1, the resources must be in the server too.

make it impossible decompiling ( client ) only i guess TAPL

oh, ya, I forgot about that

Thanks Jaysds i've created a website : )

Thanks Jaysds i've created a website : )

It won't prevent from anything. You will need to have the resources in the server's resources folder.
