As a computer science student, after reading this in someone's sig, I feel compelled to say this can NEVER work.
Creating this kind of lock is by definition impossible.
The ones that get closest to achieving this kind of thing are very intrusive rootkits and using them imposes serious problems.
For instance, think about the Ubisoft disaster, for which you needed to have a stable internet connection to play an OFFLINE game.

What does this version do?
It is supposed to check if you are not running it from a virtual drive like Virtual CD or Daemon Tools. Then it will test if you are running it from CD/DVD/BLEURAY or not.

How will the end version be released in open source?
This thing will not run under DAEMON tools and other virtual drives. It will only run on original CD. It will not be fooled by *** tools like ALCOHOL and HACKERS NOTPAD 4++ (FIXED AND PATCHED VERSION). It will detect gm decompilers, resource editors and bruteforce decompilers, so will release a fake source for theme.

- Checking whether you are running from a virtual drive, while possible, does not solve anything, because there are simple ways to emulate a true drive.
- Here, again, the intrusive thing. I removed my DVD drive from my laptop in order to be able to attach another hard disk. This means I can not play your game, because you don't allow me even to make an ISO out of it and run it from there. (Not that I can play any Game Maker games... I stopped using Windows quite a while ago...)
- I don't think anyone who can't even spell BluRay is capable of doing something that specialized companies who actually make money out of it and don't try using some incomplete interpreted language completely targeted toward games to do it do.
- You can not detect decompilers, because they run offline. You can encrypt your data, but as the decompilers so effectively show, this can (in this case) always be undone. Think about it: the program itself must be able to do so, because otherwise it would not be able to load its own resources.

I hope that I informed you about the future this project is headed towards.
I'm not trying to discourage you to use GM or program utilities or anything. By all means, continue. You'll learn a lot from it.

Whew. My first post in about 3 years. Going for another 3 year break I think

I'm not stupid! AND DON'T SAY WUBLY'S EXCLUSIVE! NO GAME'S EXCLUSIVE TO CERTAIN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'd like to ask the mods to ban this certain person for three reasons:

1. Don't type in caps if you don't want people to think you're screaming at the top of your voice. If you do want people to think that, you seriously need to calm down.
2. You ARE stupid. You're blaming a person who created a game in GM because it does not work. If you want it to work, get it to work, don't blame 2DCube. If you found a reason why it does not work (and 2DCube can solve this) you can post it. If not, blame your pc (or anything) because this game works fine for everyone but you.
3. You ARE stupid. "NO GAME'S EXCLUSIVE TO CERTAIN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". This not only looks like a comment made by a true n00b, but you also show that your capabilities of understanding humoristic comments of others are at the level of a 3-year-old. (and your comment iss wrong, because ALL computer games limit themselves to people with computers , and yeah I'm a smartass)
4. Don't insult people. Especially don't do that to cover for your own mistakes.
5. (about a previous comment) You should NOT be proud of using Windows 2000. You should not be proud of using Windows, but that can not be helped in many cases. Oh, and WINDOWS 2000 IS NOT A CPU >_>


Oh about that, have you checked your memory? (RAM) Because this game uses quite a bit I think.


P.S. If you need a few more arguments why you deserve to be banned, PM me, so I can tell you them

WARNING

Do not use www.forumer.com

My website was ruined by it, it has no security so my board became over-run with spam robots posting pornographic stuff.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just so you know, it's NOT their fault.
Most standard bulletin boards do not have security against this.
It is normal that free forum suppliers (of which I think this is one) does not include a feature to insert addons so there was nothing you could do about it either.
Robots search the web the way browsers do so this is not a bad security but just bad luck.
Having users register (so no guests) is the #1 solution.
Second is adding images to the post message screen they need to copy for validation (forgot the name of the kind of image).
Don't blame the host.

Love it,  Needs a Wubly 2!!!!!!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Haha there is a Wubly 2, but it's not at all like this game.
That one is more of a puzzle.
I think 2DCube told me he was making a new one more like the first one but I'm not sure.

Just a Windows skin probably...
Now who wants Windows to look like Mac?
