First reply to a godly thread.

Thank you very very very very much hehe.

theres still a few bits to do, like limit the length of text entry to avoid errors, encode the text, etc

but i dont think i will bother, as the lmd has the vista crash on exit flaw, i think i will wait for reteset's bug free version, also someone in my office reckons it will alert some virus scanners, so far it passed with kaspersky, zonealarm and norton but some of the more backwater virus scanners will flag it (apparently!)

i just wanted to see if my theory would work (as i boasted how simple it was to do, lol)

Encoding the source would indeed be nice (opened my LMD in notepad++ and saw the lua source)

NOD32 doesn't flag it as virus, are there really scanners flagging it? As what lol?

he said *might*, i checked it and its fine


not sure weather to continue or not now, just had play with lcc and lua over lunch and already have the base plate for a lua dll, just going to add the ir functions and see if i can make a quick plugin that does not crash on vista!

anyone know of any any good C/C++ complete bonehead examples?

I believe the Plugin SDK C++ sources are available on the forums somewhere, let me look.

Awesome tool. Now when it encodes the LMD plugin it would be perfect. At least for my needs. And it doesnt crash (yet) on my Vista (32 bit ultimate).

You can bet that I'll release Database 3.0 commercially when it gets encryption.

Just wondering, does the Action system in AMS support Objects as in LOOP?(Lua Object Oriented Programming)

If so, do it in LOOP =D

Does that mean I or reteset should release the tool commercially if it has encryption, i think you misunderstand the concept of a tool like this, my intention was to provide a tool for AMS users to make and share script based plugins in lmd form, but i guess you'll use it how you see fit.

Hello

That system used to compile the plugin?

You may be able to decompile with no problem?

This system would be perfect to hide the scripts we used in the AMS so that nobody can copy from the Aurtorun.cdd to decompress.

Thanks for your help

When encryption is applied to the source and XML and only decrypted when AMS calls the registering function it would be quite safe actually.

Purebasic, it does not compile, it creates a shell (from embedded inside exe) text gets appended to the end of the file and its read internaly by the lmd.

yes, you can view the scripts inside the lmd

no, its not secure, just convenient!

maybe, but it can still be viewed in memory, i suppose it would stop the casual project thief but not a skilled cracker

i dont see the point in me doing anything to this, reteset will soon have a better more stable version, my advice would be to wait for that, its a good project but im in no race, plus all my plugins have "vista crash on exit" syndrome.

ok, thanks MicroByte
