Blocking the RPG_RT from being accessed?

[Chaotic_Death]

Several RM2K/3 games I've played have restricted access to their RPG_RT.exe file, prolly to block coding from being shown and the like.  I was wondering if there's any way I could do this, as there's an engine I'd like to show off, but I don't want anyone to use it.  And I know that if I leave it as open code, people would steal it anyway, and possibly claim it as their own.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me do this.

I'd be interested in this too. It also prevents most people from looking at your maps or using your sprites etc.

Apparently, there's a tool called RMRecker that can do that.

RMRecker was available to download at RPGInfinity, but their server crashed and it's been offline for several months.Try Googleing it, but you also need a patch file to fix some bugs that prevented you from using some of its features

I have RMRecker, all it does is allow you to change the Splash Screens/Logo/Glyphs.  It doesn't protect your RPG_RT or whatever.

 

RMRecker makes editing resources, such as splash screens, icons, and glyphs, in your RPG Maker games quick and easy. Just load the images into RMRecker and patch your executable. This makes customizing your games and making truly professional-looking products possible.

I once had something simmalar, but the site doesnt work anymore... Sorry C_D. If I assume to find it, I will send it to you though AIM.

And reply here with a link please!! We all need that tool. I hope it makes your pictures into .xyz too..

[Oi]

Well you can make your Pictures .XYZ from Importing them and importing them as .XYZ insted of .PNG  

Edit: I will... I guess post the link here... But if it is illigal, i cant do it. okay?

It's only illegal if it contains downloads for the RM2K/3/XP main program/installation.

There's a link to RMRecker in this post in the Gaming World forums: http://www.gamingw.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19518

Woopsie. Sorry, didn't read that part...

Rast's RM2K Utility allows you to protect your RPG_RT file, and it's available at the same link.

lol, who wants to lock thier own game over protective are'nt you. the best features there is changing icons, the use of not having the rtp, and some other neat stuff.

Thats the old forum I went to, those people arn't as friendly as they seem! Though I have to admit now that I know more about well I woudn't say advanced.... "newbie" material such as changeing icons and what not I find alot of those links really useful =) Im about to try out the name generator to see if its any good...

Clearly you do not know how horrible it can be to create something to just have it be taken from another person and credited as thier own, then they start posting it and then you get called the copier and walla, your game is ruined and the thief's has begun, even though he did no work.

Plus, some of the scripts are extreamly hard to make, and we just don't want other people to use them. C_D made alot of Zelda items that no1 else has thus far, and it would be a shame from them to get stolen. The same case applies to me, I've been making an ABS and that has some really great spells, a magic ring, and several self-made things that I wouldn't want other people to take for thier own. It would break me to know that someone else is taking credit for the hours of work I've put into things.

Clearly you've never made a game that you consider to be valuable, but others have, and by themselves as well. It's just like nintendo making a game and forgetting to patnet it, then sending a demo out ot a few guys. Whoops, now that's not nintendo's game anymore!
