Encrypting media files??

[Qube]

There is this - https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/220121

You are now able to protect your media files files with this easy to use system. Most common file types are included (image, objects, sounds, text files, shaders etc.)

There are a few file packers in the code archives. A few of them have encryption integrated, for others it can be added easily.

Actually it's not worth it. When someone wants your media files, he will get them, no matter how good you "protect" them.

I always think it's worth hiding your media because it seems more professional - rather than protecting.  Encryption seems over-the-top though.

And bare-in-mind that people who sell media insist that the media is protected in some way.

I wrote one in Blitz3d once, and this packer seems exactly like that.  It reads in byte by byte and writes byte by byte to temporary files - then deletes those files.  Any interruption and those files can be seen.  A good packer unpacks to memory - not temporary files.
