Had to close my server, by some miserable player manipulating the client to use a bot or a full version.
the serious problem with this is that when it extracts the data.zip file, even though it is encrypted, it works in another OTClient, another problem is if you are updating the sprits. At any moment this asshole is going to run into a bug. like a wrong sprit will give the error of not opening the dp and with some consumables in the backpack it is not removed when using it. so this cheating player ends up doing the infinite bug of using things because the Otclient is accepting the old sprits.
also, from time to time, a server crash causes a rollback.
unfortunately i didn't find any solution. as the only solution is to transfer the RSA from the gamelib/const.lua folder to the client.
 
It's an old and open source software, if you don't know what you are doing someone will easily abuse poor implementations. You just venting? Expecting support? There is a support board.

Welcome to the problem every MMO company in the world has faced for decades.
It's impossible to protect files and resources while also requiring the users own computer to be able to read them.

At best you weed out a few script kiddies, but there will always be smarter people who will run your client through a decompiler and extract the decryption system and keys. And then you're SOL, unless you regularly patch your client and the files with new keys and entirely new methods of protection.

Just downloading some "protect your files" script once ain't gonna work, sorry to say. You gotta put in work into that stuff.

I won't ask for support because the only solution im working on is moving the RSA. because the server part has been fixed.
Because if you are going to make old servers, you have to get a client so as not to harm the game experience, just a discussion for the jokers on duty.
