Encryption

Who do I contact to get the software to do this? Is it still Jerome?

I'm having some trouble getting full resolution graphics from GMT for a module I'm building for them, and figure that if it's encrypted they might be more forthcoming :wink:

Regards, Bill.

I thought you already contacted him about this. Please send your request to Jerome (explaining the situation). I will also ping him to try to raise the urgency of your request.

I am in the middle of trying to finish up a milestone on the LnL gameboxes, after which I'll be concentrating on a full review of the 1.x codebase and my first work on 1.3.1 (no, this is not as early as I had hoped to start on it). After I'm up to speed on that, I'll be better able to handle this form of request myself.

Thanks, but it's not actually urgent as it's for a forthcoming game (going to print in 2015).

However, I will contact Jerome for the code...

Regards, Bill.

I am interested in encryption too. Maybe I can talk a particular publisher in to letting me publish some of the boxes I have made for myself if encryption was available. Do you know anything about how it works Bill?

Well I assume it simply password protects a gamebox so that only the creator can extract, examine or alter its contents...

It encrypts assets inside the gamebox. You can still extract them (still a .zip file), but the contents are each encrypted.

Ah yes - I now remember looking inside one a while back. Anyway my request is in with Jerome...

If you can remember which one, perhaps that would be good to mention as an exemplar.

Unfortunately I don't - I've looked at a lot :wink:

However, as soon as I get it I'll use it on one of the projects I've got in the pipeline and then signpost it here...

Regards, Bill.

I should have Nuklear Winter '68 done in the next couple weeks, and that will probably be our exemplar, then.
