and

How can i protect the Custom Client of this???

I don't think you can protect the SPR file since it is needed to load the client.

if you can bind a file to an exe or whatever, you can also unbind it, so there is no way to protect 100%. If you go for a custom client with custom sprites you gonna have to risk having your sprites stolen.
I don't like it but that's the sad truth.

puff.... and there is a way to decodify the .spr ..... transform it in another format and then the client could read it, but the .spr file will be useless for another clients??

You'd have to restructure the client and no one has been able to do that since Khaos developed the YATC client.
And it doesn't even matter, people can still decode the SPR file.

then.........is useless resist to this???? =(

Its able to protect it a bit, it would at least give the noob programmers a hard time.
I have seen a few such clients, it is a lot of coding work and i don't think anyone would make it for free if you're not able to make it your own.

then, how can i protect (a bit) a custom client??

 

[luigilc]

like I said, you cant... even if you work hard, if ppl like your client someone is gonna unpack the files...

 

[Madlander]

at least, my scripts are protecteb by copyright??? , can i demand the thiefs?? xD

 

[luigilc]

Your scripts will only get stolen if someone gets acess to your ot folder on your computer. That will most likely not happen unless you get a virus or download much XxX videos from suspicious sites(LOL)

 

[Madlander]

Sorry, my fault... i refer Sprites (SPR)

 

[Wangsta]

Digital justice is slow, but you could try to pursue someone legally for stealing copyrighted sprites. However, it will likely cost more to copyright the sprites and pursue someone for stealing them than you ever stand to make from a custom client project.

 

[Madlander]

Owww, sad.... u.u , return to the topic.... there is a type of program to protect or hide the spr agains noobs sprite-thiefs??? please share with all the comunity

 

[luigilc]

Molebox can do that I'd say... try to usa a version that is not on tibia unbinder, don't remember who created it but it's on the tool settings you can look for it

 

[Mjmackan]

It is able, i have seen client that got all the files that has been compiled into one.

You don't need to have those tibia.pic etc for them self. I have never though done that myself before but i want to keep your hopes up.
