How to upload a file with "hidden" files

[Binder28]

Hello guys...I am making a rpg maker vx ace games for quite some time...now I am ready to post a demo on itch.o so I can get some feedback and all...but I don't know how to upload a game with only the executable available...I don't want anybody to mess around with the game files, rtp and stuff...so can somebody help me on how to upload a game with only the executable available? I really am not very good at "internet stuff" lol

Just use deployment with encryption.

Just use deployment with encryption.

The problem with that is that with the right tools, it is very easy to decrypt. I have done it before myself.

 

[fizzly]

Yeah, but with the right tools you can decrypt almost everything...

Just use deployment with encryption.

And how do I do that?

in Ace, it's not called deployment but "compress archive" in the menu. that has an encryption options as well.
Can't tell you where exactly as I don't have Ace installed at the moment

EDIT:
Be warned that it only encrypts graphic files, not audio files - if you want to protect audiofiles you'll either have to look for a script for that or use an external encrypter.

I didn't even know there was a "compress archive" option on rpgmaker vx ace...now I just feel stupid...thanks a lot =) I will see if this works...

 

[Sheklon]

Any scripts or softwares for encrypting audio files too?

 

[Binder28]

The encriptor didn't incript the graphics files...only the rpgmaker executable program...so you can only run the game but not edit it on rpgmaker

 

[Andar]

The encriptor didn't incript the graphics files

wrong - the archive is a setup that contains all data, and if that specific setup is installed elsewhere then all the graphic files are combined into one single encrypted file. If you see the original graphic files, you either haven't run the setup or you have installed into an existing folder that contained the graphic files before installing.

 

[Binder28]

you have installed into an existing folder that contained the graphic files before installing.

That's wxactly what I did....thanks...I didn't know it worked like that =)
