Question: Do we still have to use 39ster's DLL to remove scripts from memory with it or the option to "remove code snippets from the error dialogs" does exactly that? Thanks!

39ster's DLL removes it from memory, while my option only removes it from those dialogs. My code does the equivalent to changing:

show_error("___________________________________________#COMPILATION ERROR in string to be executed#Error in code at line "+string(line)+":#"+code+"#"+indicator+"#at position "+string(pos)+": "+error,0);

(GML syntax used here for clarity)
To this:

show_error("___________________________________________#COMPILATION ERROR in string to be executed#Error in code at line "+string(line)+":#"+indicator+"#at position "+string(pos)+": "+error,0);

It doesn't remove any code from memory, it just prevents it from being displayed.

Question...
How solid is this?

Solid enough. For example, it has a decryptor that decrypts itself in memory, then immediately after executing it destroys itself.

Thanks! I guess I'll use both then.

Anybody can make a simple console program that says it's doing something when it's not. Good try though.

Who's "AMotherFreakinBear"?

That'd be one of Aragon's many names. I've gotten used to searching "paraton" on the WLM search bar if I can't find him.

[benetonmovie]

And he's known for decompiling GM games? If I understand, you think he lied about succeeding?

No.

Yes.

That's nice. You just might make a WORKING application that DOES SOMETHING someday.

Ha, actually I was half lying, half telling the truth, I haven't cracked Charlies encryption yet.
However most of the decompiler is finished it's missing a few things when extracting resources and a few things when creating the GMK, that I'm not lying about.

[benetonmovie]

I haven't cracked Charlies encryption yet.

lol, but that's the important part!

Oh, by the way, since Ara is writing a decompiler (hopefully only for personal use, if that), I've decided to take a look at the Game Maker format in more depth - and it's apparent that Mark doesn't realize that compression algorithms are meant to compress low-entropy data into relatively high-entropy data. If you compress a compressed block of data, you're in fact making it larger on the whole.

And as I never hesitate to point out with the file formats that GM uses, Boolean values are meant to take only one bit. Mark's formats make them 32 times the size they need to be.

Great Job On the A-Decompiler!

Great work on this, but I guess the GM8 icon bug isn't fixed yet?
It seems to be a bug with some 32bit icons. I can AD my game with 32x32 icon, but I can't when I include 64bit and 128bit icons.

Sorry, but I can't really fix that without changing my current .dat format (again). (I thought that I had more than enough this time...)

If you need to use the large icon for whatever reason, then you can always message me before the release and I'll try to patch the EXE manually. I'm going to France for a week, so I'll try to work on the anti-decompiler after that.

[HaRRiKiRi]

I just wanted to use larger icons, because Vista and Win7 use them. So higher quality. But no rush, if you can't fix that in the next week then its ok.

hmm is it just me, or is this things just half working :/
Just tried encrypting my game, but it errors that it can't find any suitable dat files. Other GM8 games work fine, just my game (client and server) doesn't work. Could it be something with included files or gex'es?

edit: oh and why is the program still running in the task manager while I closed it about 3 hours ago?

Try using a smaller icon - I haven't got the anti-decompiler working with larger icons yet (and have lost most motivation to rewrite it again).

No idea, I haven't ever seen that before.

I'm being forced against my will to tell you guys that the decompiler is released and I'm bumping this topic so people see it.
