[ANTI-STUDIOS]

Hi Guys,

I'm making a CLEO Script for myself, which is going to be quite advanced.
The problem is someone keeps opening my .cs and .s files (They open the .s by renaming it to .cs) and they steal my code.

Can someone teach me how I can keep my files unopenable? Because they are able to open my .cs and .s files.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.

Actually, I would encourage people NOT to lock their scripts, it allows others to take a look and learn from it. And even if you lock your script, it can still be stolen.

But, there's one simple way, and it's simple to by-pass. Just add new label somewhere, some random hex-code in there and compile. But remember, there should NOT be any jumps to that label, otherwise it'll crash.

First of all, thanks alot for your reply

Second, I would leave it unlocked, but I dont see any other way for the dude to stop jacking my scripts

Third, can you explain a little on what hex code u mean?


Thanks!

Look, if your code is stealable, its obviously so basic that someone can just copy a few lines. Therefore its not even really worth protecting. If it was complex, just having part of the code would be useless. And I would think and hope the reason people upload their scripts is because they want to share their creations with others. A feat of kindness, not a scheme to earn profit or be powerful. Any time I've thought of preventing my scripts from being decompiled its been because I've provided source code.

Not some random hex, you have to fool Sanny Builder.

Here is an example:

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} 0000: :START jump @ACTUAL_CODE hex    A4 03 09 48 41 48 41 00 end :ACTUAL_CODE // Random opcodes to show the result 0003: shake_camera 40 0007: 7@ = 0.0 000D: $TEMPVAR_Z_COORD -= 0.5 jump @START

It will decompile in this:

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} //-------------MAIN--------------- 0000: NOP 0002: jump @HAHA_17 03A4: name_thread 'HAHA' 0728: NOP 0300: unsupported_in_sa 0007: 0.0 = 512@(284@,6i) 0000: NOP 023F: unsupported_in_sa hex 00 01 FE FF FF FF

But the best thing to do is to report the mod stealers and keep your files open. Looking at examples can help people.
