Encrypterator 3000

Introduction

This is a tool to encrypt the image/audio assets of your RPG Maker MV/MZ games, in lieu of RPG Maker's built-in encryption. RPG Maker's built-in encryption provides no protection for your assets, because there are multiple free, easily accessible tools that can decrypt your entire project with the click of a button. The purpose of this tool is to encrypt your assets in a way that will render the existing decryption tools ineffective.

The encryption that this tool uses is not meant to be especially strong. Because RPG Maker uses JavaScript, the decryption algorithm will inevitably be visible to anyone who wants to reverse engineer your game, so it's pointless to try to use an overly strong encryption technique (which would just impose an unneccessary performance penalty upon your game). The intent here is simply to protect your game against the existing decryption tools, so that if anybody wants to decrypt your game, they'll have to have the skillset and the motivation to create their own tool for it.

How to Use

1. Make sure to add the Art_Decrypterator3000.js plugin to your project through the plugin manager. The plugin is compatible with both MV and MZ.
2. When you deploy your project, DO NOT use RPG Maker's built-in encryption.
3. Open Encrypterator3000.exe, and select the "index.html" file of the DEPLOYED GAME. If you're using MV, this will likely be in the 'www' directory. If you're using MZ, it will likely be in the root directory of your game.
4. Select your options and type in a password.
5. Press 'Encrypt'.
6. Wait until the output window shows "Successfully encrypted x files." before attempting to close the tool.

*note* Please do not bundle Encrypterator3000.exe with your game. It only needs to be run (from your computer) once, to encrypt the assets. It does not need to be packaged with the deployed game. Only the Art_Decrypterator3000.js file needs to be packaged with the game.

*caution* Make sure that you are encrypting your deployed game, rather than your original project. I have implemented some protection to try to prevent you from accidentally encrypting your original project, but be careful anyway (to be on the safe side).
