Re: Work arounds, hints, etc.

Don't compare yourself with anyone D, you just do what makes you happy. Your maps are your art form so just enjoy the process.

Re: Work arounds, hints, etc.

Some of that depends on the renderer the mapper is using. It could have been correct if he was using a different one than we are.

Re: Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

A lot of your concern boils down to what I was talking about earlier: you absolutely need to ensure that you do not obfuscate replicated values that will leave the sandbox of the mod proper. I poked around quite a bit with this and it does generate some weirdness if you try to push this concept to s...

Re: Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

I could have made it even more obscured by calling timer from a new function controlled by tick and totally hidden everything but I just didn't need to go all out for this. Obscuring the variables is enough to protect it from being easily bypassed/decompiled. Had I been making this anticheat for mor...

Re: Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

So now you understand the ground rules, let's learn to code so that the program can properly obb your mod. I find it best to code my mod completely THEN go back and add the identifiers to it. Let's take a simple mod class to work on. In my private anticheat I made a class that checks for players to ...

Re: Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

Obfuscating your mod This will require a fairly comprehensive lecture so it may not be for every hobbyist UT coder. I'll walk you through how to write your code for the obfuscator, what's being done, and what the results will be. At the end of the lecture I'll post the actual obfuscator as a downloa...

Re: Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

Stripping your mod It's not at all hard to strip code. You don't even need the source code to do it. You just need good old Unreal editor and your target mod. Here are the steps in order (do not skip, do not change the sequence). For this exercise I will be stripping the mod "goCounter". 1...

Re: Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

Before I get into the how part, let's compare the costs/benefits of these two protections: Stripping pro: fast, easy to do, no extra coding knowledge needed, provides some protection against your code being read, stripped variables still replicate con: source code can be recovered using UTPT and pat...

Code stripping/obfuscation, a comprehensive how-to

This lecture is technical and not for everyone. If you are not a coder already, you might as well skip it since it won't likely make much sense. If you are a coder and you are interested in how protection is done then enjoy! First off I messaged Heston and got permission to write this small lecture...
