Safest LUA compiler?

[xXMADEXx]

Hey guys, im using LUAC GUI to compile my scripts, but is it the most anti-decompiler proof? Or is there another one, that makes the file more secure?

use SciTe or LUACGUI by FabienWang

and put this code up your script

Still can be decompiled.

What does that code do?

I saw somewhere on this forum that dxDrawColorText makes the code harder to decompile. If you put that function in yout code.

Would it work, even if it was on server side?

Both softwares you mentioned use the official Lua compiler.

You can try to make your code harder to decompile, but it is still decompilable and there's no compiler that will protect your code 100%. Search about the 'Meta.xml' on the wiki and you'll find a good way to protect your files.

What about the code?, is it good enough to protect my lua files?

That may crash the official Lua compiler, but doesn't mean it is impossible to decompile.

The best way to compile your files and make it unable to be decompiled is to create your own lua compiler...

I don't know C++ but, is there some sort of thing i can do, so it calls another resource, and if the other resource dosn't return, it will stop the stolen resource? lol, i know that is kinda hard to understand.

What will stop who steals from editing the code and make it work without the other resource?

Like, make it use some sort of an export, and if the export dosn't return, then it will stop resource.

Man I think you could do this also with some trigger between client and server, but if someone copies this resource and decompiles it, these code lines can be easily removed so this kind of security will be totally useless.

yea, i guess so

Well, i made this script:

[ROG]MySQL:

function stopStealers() 
    return "returned to stop stealers" 
end 

Other Script:

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
    function () 
        if (exports['[ROG]MySQL']:stopStealers(source) ~= "returned to stop stealers") then 
            outputChatBox("THIS SERVER IS STEALING SCRIPTS FROM Revolution of Gaming!!!!!! LEAVE THE SERVER NOW!",255,0,0) 
        end 
    end 
)

That isn't going to protect anything.

Search about the 'Meta.xml' on the wiki and you'll find a good way to protect your files.

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.
