Introduction

As some people may know, RPG Maker VX has a built-in encryptor that makes a .rgss2a file to protect your data and graphics.
This seems to take issue when the project is too big, it errors out, and the entire process a slow anyways.
This .exe will make the .rgss2a file, quicker and without limits. In addition, it will also compress your .rvdata files, including the Scripts.rvdata file which hasn't been done before.
So in total: You run the .exe which will: compress the .rvdata files to a smaller size, compress the Scripts.rvdata, archive them in the .rgss2a file, and create a new folder with all the files you need to distribute your compressed, encrypted game.

Features

- Compresses game to .rgss2a archive
- Compresses all .rvdata files to smaller size
- Compresses the Scripts.rvdata file
- (OPTIONAL) Include the RTP files.
- (OPTIONAL) Compresses Graphics in a .rvdata file.
- (OPTIONAL/BETA) Compresses the entire encrypted game into a single .exe
- Hackers cannot take data files without knowing how to reverse compression
- No size limit
- Quicker than default, built-in encryption
- Just a simple .exe
- No user-actions required other than clicking the .exe
- And more...

Screenshot

This is what the console window should look like after all the compression, encryption, and removals:


This is the GUI in the GUI version:

Console:

How To Use:

1) Ensure you have Java installed.
2) Download the .exe
3) Move the .exe to your game directory
4) Run the .exe
4.5) Follow in-console prompts for extra features.
5) Wait until it tells you to "Press enter to exit."
6) Press Enter.
7) Ensure your project works by entering the EncryptedGame directory and running the game.
8) Move the EncryptedGame directory elsewhere and do what you want to.

Notes:

- Do NOT use my RVDATA Compression if you plan to compress with this script.
- If you want "no risks", even though this program was fully tested, make a copy of your project and run the .exe in that.
- Do NOT run this with your game open, editing, or playing.
- This script does do some editing to files, so you should not touch anything in your game while the .exe is running. Any changes will be reverted when the process is over.
- This will not include the RTP files. You need to add those to your graphics manually.
- This script, while written in Ruby, use a .jar file as well. This means this requires Java to be installed. Java can be found here

After my semester ends in the next 7 hours, I'll get my hands on this.

If we use this, will your past rvdata compression script be redundant?

This was the best feature, btw!

Jet strikes again with something super awesome!

My first game was well over the allotted size limit so I had to through the annoying process of removing the audio folder to encrypt/compress, then decompress and put the audio folder back in, then zip it. This awesome exe not only saves me from all those additional steps, but compacts the file size wonderfully! From 139mb to 99mb!

EDIT: Er... I've tried it twice now... and it doesn't seem to include my custom graphics in the "EncryptedGame" folder, and I assume it should?

EDIT2: Specifically only the files in the Systems folder; the rest are accounted for.

Graphics are in the .rgss2a file.

EDIT: I have changed the file to have it wait a bit more before continuing with the process but, i cannot personally replicate the issue.

I downloaded your exe again and tried it and... yeah, it's definitely not grabbing all the graphics. :/

I'll look further into, though myself and none of my testers come across the same issue. I'll update as soon as i figure it out.

EDIT: Should be fixed. I have updated the .exe to better detect if the rgss2a file is done being encrypted and compressed.

Welp, I'm not sure I approve of dangers to my soul, but if it encrypts projects better I'll be glad to use this. >w<d

Nice one, man~!

It works perfectly now! Great job man!

@bastian: Excellent, glad to make it better for everyone

Hey Jet! Awesome tool .

However, it seems to overlook the "extra_tiles" folder and the new passage setting files used for Bullet's SwapXT program. Mind checking it out? My program crashes whenever I enter an area using a new passage setting and a new tileset generated under SwapXT.

Very awesome, Jet! Totally gonna use this. You should think about a sound encryptor.

Cool a fusion of Zeriab encrypter and jet RVDATA Compressor the only left is that you fuse it with your Graphics To .rvdata for more awsomeness.

And feedback: this script is prety awesome hackers can extract the game but can't edit it

Should be fixed.



How did you know i was going to do that? o_O
This feature has also been added, though using it can be time-consuming if you have a lot of graphics.

Is too esay because you credit Zeriab and i supposed that you have used his Rpg maker Encrypter.

Can you add this metod of encryption: http://www.hbgames.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=731574#p731574 ?

No i meant, how did you know i was gonna fuse my Graphics To .rvdata with this as well?
But yes, i use an edited source code from Zeriab that he uses in his Encryptor to do my own encryption.

As for the other method, no i don't think i will, that is a lot of attempt to automate sorry.

UPDATE: I have added a new BETA feature to the encryptor, which will compress the encrypted game into a single .exe, this can be done mainly to hide the game files when they play the game.
This feature is beta because: a console window will appear momentarily when the .exe'd game opens up, and the icon for the new .exe is not changable.

Beautiful Jet. This has added your support bar into my siggy. You deserve it.

Jet you should consider adding time stamps to all of your stuff

When I compressed to single exe it gave me this error

Permission denied - GameEXE.exe

Should be fixed, though it doesn't really cause any issues.

SO... COOL.

But not enough because music is still there. -crack whip- What are you waiting for Jetski.

Jet.
YOU ARE SO COOL.
You saved my day. I'm eternally grateful. OTL

Thanks guys, weird how you posted at the same time o_O

Also, UPDATE
There is now a feature to include the RTP when compressing. No more manual movements of the graphics/audio you use.

I still don't like dem odds. B|

It's absolutely incredible now. Literally the one thing that this didn't have it now has. Nice job Jet, really nice.

Good work on assembling this utility

Please do note that the scripts are already compressed. It's only the header that's not compressed which contains script section name for example.

*hugs*

Could not have done it without your code
Yeah, i know the scripts are already, but i do it a second time to make it harder for noobs to take a look.

UPDATE: I fixed it so the rtp which was added is deleted from your game folder after finishing the encryption process.

Jet....this is incredible....


Words do describe how awesome you are either.......I think I kinda have a Man crush on you......

@Nelderson: Many-a-men do.

Anyways, UPDATE:
I added a simpler GUI version for people who don't want to have to wait on the console for the process to finish, or those who need to pack both an rtp and non-rtp version without having to re-run the program.

The GUI version is faster than the console

When you include the RTP I highly recommend you look up which rtp to use and the path of the rtp.
You can acquire this path programmatically:



To read the path just use Utility.read_rtp_path and it look up first the rtp to use in the ini-file and then in the registry.
If you are not doing it already I suggest that you delete the rtp setting from Game.ini file after adding the rtp to follow the normal VX compression.

I highly suggest that you modify the Java code so that it can put files from several directories into the encrypted archive. I can help you with this if you have trouble doing it yourself.

*hugs*
