--- Quote from: "Skarn" ---I don't prevent client to read it. But the archive will be useless on other servers. It will just crash there. There's a lot of ways of protection beside using data editing. The system I'm talking about already works for at least 2 big projects.

I think what Schlumpf is referring to as protection and what you are is completely different. Protection isn't for people using the patch on one server to another (wtf would be the point?): It's about preventing the MPQ from being opened so the files are exposed. For example, I could easily open your "protected" patch, and pick it apart for files I want to look at, or even use.

Another example would be with my recent guide on making a custom character create screen. It's simple XML/Lua scripts, if you put that into the patch, sure people couldn't use it on another server with your patch... But they could just open the patch and take the files and have it anyway.

Preventing that, would be more my definition of protection.

But anyway, back on-topic. Your project seems very ambitious like many others, however again like many others, you may need more shown incentive. Even posting things like current number of staff or current staff positions filled, shows progress on management side of things.

Good luck with it though, sounds like a good finished product.

schlumpf:
I would love to have a look at your protection once it is done.

Skarn:
Genesis, thanks for tips.
You cannot open my MPQs cuz their listfile is removed and the structure is different. all the file names look like sd42tsg234.smth. And even extensions are changed. We have .sdf (Skarn Database File)  files instead of .dbc. However, the name will be changed before the release. The exe is encrypted, so you can't open it in hex editor and search for file names. So, if it's still possible it's going to be really hard to decrypt and extract our work.
