client script are hidden

[orel56000]

I saw a server that shows me custom hud on my screen such as pictures and texts, I opened my files and I saw that only the pictures of this server have downloaded without even a one clientside script, how they have done that?

 

thanks for helpers

if fileExists("client.lua") then 
    fileDelete("client.lua")
end

 

Put this in your client side script, then rename the "client.lua" with your .lua name.

no need that

<meta>
    <script src="client.lua" type="client" cache="false"/>
</meta

Never understood this. Yeah, sure - it makes stealing the script less possible but players have to download the same client files every time they join the server...instead of downloading them just once on their first join.

Instead of using fileDelete or adding cache="false" to meta.xml I recommend you to use Lua Compiler: https://luac.multitheftauto.com/

In my opinion its the best way to keep ur files secure. Yes, they can download the files, but they can't use them. I think this is the goal of it.

Yea I know about that solution but I wanted to know that too.. and I think it is easier to just write cache="false" insted using luac.. And it is just scripts.. I dont care if it will redownload it everytime cause it will not be up to 3 seconds to download all the scripts.. don't u think?

Depends on the amount of client files and the player's Internet speed

Scripts are relatively in very small sizes of just few kilobytes, and even if you had lots of resources with lots of scripts, it would probably never exceed 1 MB of download, and for normal users it never really exceeds 200 kb. If someone has a problem downloading this small amount of kilobytes, then they shouldn't even use the internet at all.

Reading(+decrypting) and loading of the scripts takes probably much longer.
