lol, thieves? How could anybody stole your scripts from the server? Use good passwords and it should not happen.

You can protect client-sided script files from being read by the players by setting cache to "false" in the meta.xml ( https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Meta.xml%20)

when i write cache="false"/> will not be downloaded client ?, but player have slow internet connection and will try stole ? its as "fileDelete" ... on end script ?. or this dont download client ?

[csiguusz]

Some files must be downloaded, you cant avoid this, but if you set cache="false" then it wil not be saved on the client's computer. fileDelete does the same thing.

Another way to protect is using loadstring and server-side file functions.

When someone enter your server, they download all files, but does only save the client file, not meta or serverside.

So, it's already protected, but if you wan't more protection use: fileDelete or a compiler.

thank you for all your reply

Neither compiling files or using fileDelete will do any good.

If you use compiler anyone will be able to decompile it, easily. If you use fileDelete, you can leave the server before the download ends and so having files already downloaded saved on the cache.

loadstring nor fileDelete not needed anymore, now MTA has new feature that you can make your client script not saved on the players hard drive by setting it in the meta.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Meta.xml

FROM VERSION 1.3.1 r4909 ONWARDS

cache: When the script file type is "client", this setting controls whether the file is saved on the players hard drive. Default is "true". Using "false" will mean the file is not saved.

[Anderl]

That is exactly what has been said already, I just told him a second way to do it.

LoL ? I thought lua uncompliter don't exist

[Anderl]

It does, and you can find it with lil search on Google.
