o.0 I don't know how the compiler differs from then to now, what I do know, is that I spent almost 160 hours on that one script, and had planned on another 40-60 hours (of course thats what we plan.... but itd end up to be 200-400 more) and... he just shredded my work...

I was working with EP on something at the same time, we were working on script pack 3 for twx, and a bot, as well as his haggle routine... but after that happened, I just basically dropped everything.

I'm not sure how secure the encryption detail is. Is it still even really available in 2.03? Is it really encryption, or just scrambling? Because for obvious reasons the key must be present to decode, doesn't that mean the key is public knowledge? Maybe I'm missing something...

For decompilers. It'd be like converting a decompiled assembly language back into a higher level language, say C. You would have to reconstruct the interpreted bytecode back into some kind of macro language. Not a simple project, but for someone, say, needing a good senior project @ uni... might be worth doing.

The only script I've ever released as .cts is Move Helper, and I encrypted it for reasons other than the fear of people "pirating" my code.


And on that note, dude, get on ICQ. You want feedback, I've torn it up now and have a lot more stuff to tell ya about. [:D] The way I figure it, an extra 1000 lines of code won't be too much...heh and I still have your .ts old version of it myself [}:)]

E-mail me. I don't have home internet at the moment. Things should be back to normal by the end of the month. More details on my web site.
