RVDATA Compressor
by Jet

Introduction

So, this was part of my ReStaff release for Oct. 1. I saw a script for this in a different site, but it was coded a bit iffy, an incompatible wth some scripts. Plus, it could have been made more efficient.
So, I decided to make my own that is super cool and everything, to share with you all
This will compress you .rvdata files in your Data folder to be a smaller size (I shaved 40KB off the RTP files alone!), and also makes it so those "decryption" programs won't give away your data files, since it won't be in the same format, the hacker will have to know how they are compressed, how to reverse it, and how to re-save them.

Features

- Saves Precious Computer Space
- Lowers download size
- Prevents easy decryption of data
- And more...

Jet is there anything you can't code?

Updated script instructions. There wasn't a bug, but i forgot to note that you should keep the original Scripts.rvdata file when compiling your games.

I've received testimonials from BizarreMonkey and CrimsonItsuki:

[13:56] <BizarreMonkey> wow, shite, down for 3.84 mb to 768 kilbytes.
[13:56] <BizarreMonkey> from"

[13:41] <CrimsonItsuki> JET I LOVE YOU
[13:41] <CrimsonItsuki> JET
[13:41] <CrimsonItsuki> 3.37 MP
[13:41] <CrimsonItsuki> *MB
[13:41] <CrimsonItsuki> TO 829 KB

Seems to fluctuate a bit depending on which files are bigger during compression.

You should see my Bacon Script.

You should see my Bacon Script.

It truly is incredible.
But yeah, everything runs fine and the extraction is a charm. This is a must-have. Really doesn't harm anything and just improves RMVX.

Ahhhh, this looks like it'll make my life a million times easier. ;w;
Thank you, Jet~!

I've been waiting my whole life for this moment. You're a lifesaver, Jet T_T

- Prevents easy decryption of data

Best feature so far. ;3

Jet! xoxo
Can you make audio encryption, too?

I am thinking Jet is having his fun in all of this. Seeing how he supply scripts everyone wants I never really care for it but it might help since I do want to keep my game a bit safe as well. But if you could make a script that makes MMORPG then you would get over a thousand rating in that (A little joke but if you can that still would be awesome.). Hahaha! Anyways I do like it and maybe I will look into more of your scripts. If can show me all the scripts you made so I can see what to add and to make my search quicker. I give you a thumbs up like always...Keep up the good work seeing how we need people like you around.

Funny, I found this script posted here right after finding the aforementioned script... Indeedly so, it was a bit iffy...

Sounds tasty... when are your releasing it?



Seriously though, this incarnation of the script is much better; I like it.

Just a quick question: what precisely do you mean by "Before compiling your game, you should remove (DO NOT DELETE) the regular .rvdata files"? How does one remove a file without deleting it?

it means to move all .rvxdata files into a new folder outside the project folder. it should be outside the project folder, else it will be included in the compression.
you only leave the .crvxdata and script.rvxdata in the data folder when you compress your project.

As new said, you can easily "cut" all the .rvdata files, other than Scripts.rvdata into somewhere else outside the game directory, compile, then put them back into the Data folder.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I'd love to know some size differences in projects before and after if you want to post them

I found a compatibility issue with SwapXT. It was trying to look at the extra tiles folder for crvdata files which are where SwapXT stores its data files. The only files there were the rvdata files of course.
My work around was to copy and paste the rvdata files from extra tiles folder into the data folder and then test run the game to generate the crvdata files. I then copy the files back in the extra tiles
folder. The only issue with this is to repeat the process probably everytime I change something with the passage settings or tile settings etc with SwapXT.

Should be fixed, grab the new version.
The new version SHOULD include files inside of folders inside of the data directory as well, so those files should be compressed now as well.

This script does not compress Scripts.rvdata, do not remove it when you release your game.

As the other script, this one is the reason that it don't increase security at all. it would be really easy to bypass it, anyone with average (it's not needed even to be a masteful) script skill can do it.
It would only deceive noob's that learned how to use RM yesterday, but anyone with BRAINS wouldn't be fooled by this.
