Troubles with Olivia OTB

[Catog]

Hi there,

I'm looking to edit the OTB Turn Order in the code (edit the background, adjust the sprite view so it fits with my four-frame sprites), but for whatever reason, the main body of the code uses 'var _0x380f =', etc., etc., all on one line.

I thought this might be encryption, but looking on the download page, I'm apparently allowed to edit the code. Furthermore, I'm seeing people talk about it using regular js language.

Would anyone be able to tell me why it's like this, and offer solutions? I'd really hate to drop this system, but I also don't want to be stuck with a default look that doesn't fit with my sprites.

that's really weird... mines doesn't look like that and I was indeed able to edit it for reasons similar to yours. tho, all I did was tell the plugin to look for the battlers in a different folder and make normal style sprite sheets for people. even then, I couldn't figure out the background tho...

Um... I'm not sure why all of a sudden it's one line of code tho. that's a pain when something isn't working and all you'd need to do is a simple edit of sorts. or in a situation like yours.

Hey, I have the same EXACT experience with Olivia's other plugins. What text editor / js viewer are you using to look at the code?

I'm using regular notepad

What text editor / js viewer are you using to look at the code?

I recommend either Notepad++ or Sublime Text.

Would anyone be able to tell me why it's like this, and offer solutions?

Basically what you're looking at is minified javascript. Say I have the following code:

if (thisvar == thatvar) { for (i = 0; i < 30; i++) { let j = i + myFunction.method(); console.log('The result is ' + j + '!'); }; };

It's all fine and dandy, right? Well, that same code could be written in the following way:

if (thisvar == thatvar) { for (i = 0; i < 30; i++) { let j = i + myFunction.method(); console.log('The result is ' + j + '!'); }; };

The reason is that Javascript generally ignores newline characters, tabs, and spaces unless they're in a string (wrapped in "double quotes" or 'single quotes'), and so all Javascript code can be minified to a single line that the computer will still be able to read. The reason why people don't write in minified JS is because it's extremely hard for humans to follow, and so we use multiple line syntax.

What you're going to want to do is either run it through a JS deminifier (I have no idea where to find one of those, but I'm sure they exist), or deminify it yourself. Every semicolon; indicates the end of a line. It'll probably take a few tries to get it right but I'm sure you can figure it out.

Okay, so I used a code deminifier, but the code is still very odd to me.
For a small excerpt:

   Bitmap[_0x2487("0x7f")][_0x2487("0xd0")] = function (_0x486924, _0x2e70f1, _0x2d1270, _0xe9d8ef, _0x27ede0, _0x4912ee) {

                var _0x79c1af = _0x49cc00[_0x2487("0xe1")][_0x544b4a];
                if (_0x79c1af["code"] === Game_Action[_0x2487("0x80")] && _0x79c1af["dataId"] === 0x6) {
                    _0x49cc00["note"] += _0x2487("0x8b");
                }
                if (_0x79c1af[_0x2487("0xbd")] === Game_Action[_0x2487("0x80")] && _0x79c1af[_0x2487("0x10d")] === 0x6) {

                }
            }
        }
    };

I don't know if this is calling something already existing, but it just seems so foreign to javascript.

This is from the stand-alone download of the OTB, so I don't know if it's different taken from the Sample Project.

But again, I've only ever seen it talked about on the forums in js plain, so I don't know if this is a me thing.

Honestly I haven't come across anything like that in JS, but if I were to hazard a guess I'd say that it's a form of custom encryption / data theft prevention to keep people from stealing code and passing it off as their own. Your assumption is partially right, as some of the code in the first example is pulling from an array similar to the one in the second example (but not that exact array, which you can tell because variable 0x380f is never referenced in the first code block), but the rest of it is just basic text that has been converted to hexadecimal. It'll take some time, but you're going to have to go through each string and run it through a hexadecimal translator to figure out what it says.

Idk if you'll have to do the same for variables, but probably so. Sorry, wish I had an easier answer lol.

Edit: now that I think about it, there's probably some javascript-to-hexadecimal conversion system that she used to do this...the exception would be if she's certifiably insane and coded it in hexadecimal to begin with. If you can find that system and reverse it, that could solve it for you.

 

[zerobeat032]

when did you get this??? because yeah... mines isn't like that at all... I'd show it but I doubt I have permission to do such I guess? But I do know that stuff started looking like that with newer plugins I purchased from Olivia, so I'm not sure she double backed and changed how the code is presented or what. but that's definitely NOT how mines looks.

 

[Catog]

when did you get this???

Ah, yes - this is the newest update. I looked back at an old backup, and turns out that she definitely encrypted this stuff after the fact. Mystery solved.

Odd that she would encrypt it while still allowing code editing in the permissions on the download page. I might need to message her about that.

 

[zerobeat032]

ahh that's a bummer... yeah, I'd noticed when I bought the Aggro plugin it was encrypted... I didn't know she went back and did that to older ones.

Ah, yes - this is the newest update. I looked back at an old backup, and turns out that she definitely encrypted this stuff after the fact. Mystery solved.

Odd that she would encrypt it while still allowing code editing in the permissions on the download page. I might need to message her about that.

it's being over zaelous aka paranoia to over encrypt code like that but she might had used her own built-in encrypter compiler to do that.
Or she SIMPLY obfuscates her code using uglify or some compiler. Which both protect and minify the code for being optimal. You should just ask her if you can get an non obfuscated version so you can edit.

yep she used this :

JavaScript Obfuscator Tool

JavaScript Obfuscator is a free online tool that obfuscates your source code, preventing it from being stolen and used without permission.

obfuscator.io

Huh, so that's why no one was able to get rid of the gaudy initiative bar after all these years.
I wish I kept the unencrypted version, but a hard drive failure said "No" to that...

Would love to see at least some way to move it about, would like to use it with Luna Engine.

Has anyone been able to get a hold of Olivia for support?

Not sure anyone's been trying...?

Couldn't get her friend request on Discord to start a convo nor find a link on her itch.io.

Couldn't even find contact for Irina, her partner.
