OTClientV8 disable functions

[Tbol]

Hello got question so i edited tool.lua hp.lua with some custom stuff and deleted some functions, but i noticed inside %appdata% you can just import/inject new tool.lua and hp.lua and so you will basically bypass it and you be able to inject custom shit yourself. How can i prevent it if someone tries to change those files it wont work basically would give error or something

Or im tripping once you edit it, you cannot override it by injecting it in %appdata%, because testing now and it looks like you cannot edit it just with appdata you need to decrypt entire client and edit game_bot aswell

OTCv8 bot files are not encrypted and cannot be, because config of player (item IDs, waypoints, monsters to attack etc.) is saved in these files.
There are special lines in C++ to do not encrypt/decrypt game_bot ex.:

You can just allow bot (default) or remove it:

If you edited encrypt and decrypt keys in OTCv8 src/framework/util/crypt.cpp:

and recompiled it. It will be harder to edit other OTCv8 files. Not impossible, but much harder for random OTS player.

Anyway, there is no way to block bot on client side. To really block bot, you have to implement 'cam system' ( GitHub - gesior/tmp-cams-system (https://github.com/gesior/tmp-cams-system) ) and some tool to analyse cam files.

My main goal is not to remove the bot completely, but i deleted macro scripts from game_bot because dont want to allow custom scripts only ones already in bot, since i did that now im trying somehow to protect it so they wont just go to appdata and replace for example tools.lua and macro editor will appear again without any effort

There is a file that tells the encrypter what to ignore. You can modify it to allow the game_bot folder to encrypt. You will also need to tell it to only allow certain folders to be loaded.

But didnt gesior said "BOT CANNOT BE ENCRYPTED" but yea all i would want to encrypt is {tools.lua, hp.lua, looting.lua, editor.lua} inside default_configs/cavebot for a harder injection of macro scripts so mainly tools.lua because thats where it is

I misinterpreted when I talked about encrypting it. What you can do is make it so anytime the client opens it removes any changed files from the bot folder. So what I did was make it so the client checked the folder and if it was different from what I expected it would remove any extra files including if they try to add code to an existing file. So I wasn't able to encrypt it but I was able to stop people from being able to modify the files and run the client.

Wtf how you did that. Share tutorial please

I cant really get into the tutorial as it was trial and error but here is what I modified in data/modules/game_bot/bot.lua

The folder I allowed with the files inside was called SW_BOT. Whenever the client opened it would rewrite the SW_BOT files and ignore any other bot files. I also disabled downloading other bots, ect.

Keep in mind this change was implemented with other checks to make sure the client was mine and things like that. This change alone is not sufficient but its a good place to start to weed out the normal person from modifying the bot.
