I am sure a lot of us are familiar with this method of game encryption, with custom Magic Key's correct? Well, I am having a problem with having my game launch upon completing all these steps, and with me having one other question in regards to this topic.
1. I go to the offset specified in the post below, and I change the hex codes to my own set of 8 letters, which by the way, I am not quite sure what the text post means by making my own Magic Code in those offsets, since there are only 4 or so letters that I can type in hex.
2. Once I do that, I start using Asprotect, which, is really complicated and I am not quite sure how it works, exactly. There are not many tutorials out there that explain how to repackage an unpacked RGSS102E.dll, and I am not sure what I do wrong. The screenshots below will show you what I did:
Again, I am not sure what I did in #2 was right, and I would love to know how to use Asprotect correctly, since there is a HUGE lack of good tutorials on how to use it, based on this tutorial below.
3. I use DRGSS, and I type in my "8 letters that I used as my Magic Key," and I encrypt my game. Once it is encrypted, I run my game, and it says that it failed to locate the Archive... Which, I can only assume is because I screwed up badly in regards to this guide on how to secure my game.

I: Knowing your encryption
It's always good to know about your encryption to know what it does and why it works. This encryption is based on vgvgf's DRGSS encryption and is much, much stronger than RPG Maker's encryption. It uses your own personal magic key, plus checksum protection, debugging detection, and several other safety features for your game. In essence, this is really what protects the game (after the tutorial) because it locks away your magic key, and without a magic key no rgssad extractor will be able to open it.
II: Encryption
First, you'll need the following:
DRGSS - http://vgvgf.com.ar/varios/drgss/DRGSS-v1.1.exe
ASProtect SKE - http://www.aspack.com/
FRHED - http://frhed.sourceforge.net/en/

RGSS202E Unpacked (IF YOU ARE USING RPG Maker VX) - http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/2/10/757733/RMXP%20Public/RGSS202E.rar
WARNING: ASPROTECT SKE COSTS $194.65 (USD)
NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THE ASPROTECT COMPANY SO DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME ABOUT THE PRICE
Once you get what you need then follow these easy steps, they should take less than 10 minutes to finish: (Note: Depends on your game size and experience with computers)
Step 1) Using FRHED go to offset: (CTRL + G)
39628 - If your using the unpacked RGSS102E.dll
43063 - If your using the unpacked RGSS202E.dll
And modify the offsets (EF AC DA ED) to your own magic key. Note that it is written backwards, so write your own magic key (make one up) in reverse typing. (ie ABC = CBA) REMEMBER YOUR MAGIC KEY THAT YOU JUST MADE UP BECAUSE YOU'LL NEED IT LATER.
Step 2) Use ASProtect SKE to pack your new RGSS102E (Or RGSS202E if you're using RMVX) DLL and KEEP IT IN YOUR GAME FOLDER. If you want to encrypt Game.exe you can too, it won't affect gameplay so it's really optional but provides additional protection for your game)
Step 3) Open up your game using DRGSS and compress. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE YOUR MAGIC KEY IN THE MAGIC KEY SPACE. This time you can write your magic key in normally (ie ABC AND NOT CBA)
Step 4) Play the game.
III: The Drawback
The main drawback is the price of ASProtect SKE. Although you can encrypt your games and have all of the encryption features without purchasing ASProtect SKE it will show a message saying your game is protected by ASProtect SKE. If you don't mind them having that small copyright at the start of your game, don't buy ASProtect SKE. If you do mind having a popup message at the beginning of your game, then buy ASProtect SKE. Either way works.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
