Update!

For all those who are still developing their programs, there is now an option to remove code snippets from error messages! It keeps the line, position number, and cause of error to aid you in finding the cause, too!

Example:

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object test:

Error in code at line 5:
   

at position 28: Unknown variable sercet1

Virus! AVG detected "runtime packed fsg" It wanted to modify explorer.exe and scwhost.exe and a lot of applacations in system32 .... -.-'

Yeah, it's a false positive (for all we know) on several. =/


If anyone tells you to uninstall your antivirus; ignore them.

If I protect it this error happen (When using Disable error Snippet)


I even get it if I don't use Disable Error Snippet...

If I run the client normally it runs fine, so it's nothing wrong with my game. Any ideas?

Finally! A decent solution for stopping people from stealing my if statements!

If you move the protected game back to the directory the unprotected game is in, does it still work?

let me try this. thanks.

maybe mark can incorporate this into gm8?

also not a good idea to tell others how you made it or how it exactly works.

Isnt it sufficient for other users to know that it does work and what it does. less chance of someone then trying to make a 'anti-decompiler' decompiler

The decompiler doesn't currently have settings for GM8, and it most likely never will. Implementing this in GM8, however, turns it from third-party software to first-party, meaning it's more likely to be cracked. Saying that, it is pretty difficult to crack, even with those delphi "decompilers" (which don't actually decompile, hah).

And yes, it is sufficient that users just know that it works. I won't delve into too much detail on how it works or when it's activated.

But you see, that's the key thing - when it's activated. If people knew exactly when it was activated, it would be super-easy to reverse-engineer.

Dose this change the effiency?

[score_under]

Does this change the efficiency?

It may cause loading time to take a few milliseconds longer (believe me, decryption is very fast and almost unnoticable), but it won't affect gameplay at all.

my computer decteds a virus...but anyway. it would be cool if when the person decomplies it then a message comes up saying something. lol.

[score_under]

It's not a virus, as I've explained countless times and in that post you quoted, it's simply packed (and the anti-virus reports this. It doesn't ever mention that it is any sort of virus anywhere).

[petersvp]

Kaspersky continues to report and block the access even with latest update on MY PC.. however, i never completely reinstalled this antivirus app.
F-Secure claimed is not a virus but blocked it.. AVG stated that this is packed and cannot unpack it. It didn't blocked, but just asked me will I allow it to run.

I also created a skin, but it is local, bulgarian skin for our Bulgarian Game Maker community :]

[BBGaming]

Works great! I tested it on a very large game with multiple external dependencies, and everything still worked. Good job.

[jinxtengu]

hmm I would just like to alert people, when I scanned this with anti virus it detected a virus.
Im sure you mean well and this might be a good program but i deleted this just in case.
sorry.

I can't even begin to describe how "tl;dr" you must have been feeling.

[e_barroga]

Usually.... virus scanners have what is called: "heuristic analysis"

Viruses use methods/tricks to infect and this sort of analysis can detect that.

So when this anti-decompiler is messing with your executable (from the virus scanner perspective), it looks like it is messing with your executable to infect it.


Seriously.... virus scanners aren't as "holy grail" as people think.

It's just "database" plus "heuristic analysis". Not worth your money.
