protect my models

[omar shaaban]

sorry i thought u were talking about serial numbers

I will sugest to write method for file loading like irrklang do
"memory..." example where you have:

c8 sound[] = {0xBLA01, 0xBLA02, 0xBLA03..(etc.)};

but instead of sound you fill your model info (materials, tex coords, verticies...) from one file
(for example) witch have all your models, and you only know how big is
model your retreiving from file (when reading) and where in file.
Or compiled into exe.
And then you have:

irr::scene::IAnimatedMesh * mesh01 = smgr->getMesh(meshData);

instead:

irr::scene::IAnimatedMesh * mesh01 = smgr->getMesh(filename);

Even with that people will "steal" your models but 80% people less.



Maybie Acki could add something like this into his extensions.

That i was saying but u know i think it is hard to make a loader to load encrypted models

[belfegor]

Save it encrypted in file, and later decrypt just before filling c8 array.

However, it is a slow and unsecure cipher. So basically another toy to play with

Oh yes, and that's why the nazis used it the whole time and the UK (allied) couldn't decode it until they got a machine at the end...

No, you should get the real story (not the one from block busters which try to get a story from the whole thing). The Enigma was already deciphered at the time the Allied got the actual Enigma used at that time (the one that was sold before as a commercial equipment had one roll less). In fact even the crptologists from Poland broke the Enigma before it was caught. Anyway, it's an interesting algorithm. AES is far better and much cheaper to implement

Well, I just saw a documentation on tv about this !!!
And fact is that the allied could not decode the messages until they looted a book with all the codes the nazis used !!!
I brought that in disorder with the mashine itself...

OK i will try it
