I don't know of a way to encrypt specific CCB file but you can always place all your game files into a single encrypted exe file (container). For my game I'm using MoleBox and it's very easy to pack everything into single a exe file. There's a payed version & MoleBox GPL version that is free. ///////Edit Bad advice, sorry, the MoleBox seems to trigger antivirus programs, it's stupid since there is no virus in the program itself but the way that files are being packed by it, for some reason, looks suspicious to antivirus programs :/ |

It’s called a false positive. Antivirus programs are not very smart and see plenty of new software as containing viruses where none exist. Mike |

Mike A few alternative suggestions to encryption: - change extension to any local save files from .dat to .bin (binary). This will deter most people from opening (except programmers). - change extension of main game files to a video file or something else instead of .ccb - have all main variables load in the encrypted exe file so at least nothing will run in the separate level .ccb files and if anyone tried redoing your game would take ages to get it working. - can change sound files from .ogg to many other extensions like .s to make it more difficult and less obvious Not great solutions but best CC can offer unless you want to go with another engine...Skyline (SGE) for example. |

The exe then loads the intro screen from a separate ccb file before loading another ccb file for each game level. Only variables/arrays stay in memory when switching between levels and the intro scene. Trying to run any single 'ccb' scene by itself will not work at all well due to the multitude of missing variables and even the path and extensions referenced to load up of new levels & music is a variable in itself and cannot be seen.... seems to work ok... |
