Hi JazzieB,
I would like to protect my "player.dat" file. The values consist of "name", <score> (which can be more than one integer), and a list of 1's and 0's in the following format:
1
0
0
1
0
0
...and so forth
The 1's and 0's indicate whether a player has an item or not. As you can see, it would be extremely easy to hack into the file and give the player everything. I need to protect this data. I have terapak set up to only unpak and then remove these files at certain points in the game, but any user can alt-tab out at certain times to copy the file. So this method is better than nothing, but still makes it far too vulnerable. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for your time and interest in helping me.
Thanks,
