RPG Maker Forums

Hello,

Many of you may be informed about my presence on the forums.

I started making RGSS3 scripts about three months ago, so I'm not quite a newbie to all of the terms.

However, I have to ask some questions.

I please moderators not to close this topic when first two questions are answered, because I have the third, and the most complex one awaiting, and I can't really post the whole problem now.

So, let's start

1) Are files in encrypted archive rewritable?

That means, can I store Saves and such in the Data folder?

I suppose not, because it is ENCRYPTED, but just to make sure...

2) How to read Scripts.rvdata2 ?

I know that I can use load_data("Data/Scripts.rvdata2"), but the returned object is an array of arrays of some numbers, the script name, and some \xsomething\xsomething text.

So, when I worked in Python, you could just print those characters out, and it would display them.

But, in Ruby those \xsomething characters also have something to do with pack and unpack methods, I assume.

So, should I do something like

that_xsomething.unpack('something').pack('somethingelse')

and I'll be able to read it like that?

I know some scripts actually do that, like Estriole - Script Control, but I don't know that encryption method (is it really encrypted or?)

So, thanks for answering, sorry if posted in the wrong place or did something that mustn't, and please, I say this again, do not lock the topic after first two questions are answered.
