that the obfuscator alters the name of variables,
so you might have to think about the server-client code "syncronization" then,

That might not be a serious problem. The actual names of the variables aren't relevent, merely their position within the script (their index). So as long as it doesn't change the order of things (and why would it?!), then we'll be fine.

I'll look for gst builder and check this out... thanks!

GST_Builder form the gstools.de website is "invalid or or corrupt"... cannot open the downloaded zip file. Obfuscator is fine though.

People from outside of Germany seem to have problems downloading from
GSTools.de
nfs42 should have a look onto that.

I also use very little ifdef type code, I make frequent use of my.client and my.native. When an entity is created, I call up a proc_client() so the client can control it. Then I have a proc_local() and similar code from the proc_local() function in the original action on the server to just update the entity with the users input from the client on both the clients and server. I don't remember seeing any examples of completely split code between server and client. Do you have any links to little examples of this? I wouldn't mind seeing what it's like.

@Damocles - Thanks for the obfuscator link, it seems interesting. Although, how often is it updated to reflect new engine commands? And how is the code deciphered?

I used to have a barebones example of this on the forum. Don't know where it is in my files. I'll see if I can scrounge something up.

I'm deadly serious: I think that keeping code toghether is a major reason why MP and MMP development is stymied in this community; it just makes a mess of things!

@fastlane: only a problem with ms iexplorer
use a proper browser
i have still no solution for this

@damocles: thanks for hosting

@William: GSTObfuscator goes back to 2001 & A5, but it's still running with c-scripts > A6.xx. if you have any troubles with it, i try to figure it out.
I didn't tried with lite-c.

nfs42 knows the details, but the obfuscator
basicall just replaces all functionnames and variable names with
a cryptic "GST443" and so.
(And removes comments, and linebreaks)
There is a wdl definition file, of wich keywords dont get changed.
This can be edited (but I could not get it to work on new keywords)

This should also work on Lite-C, or should not be too hard to adapt.
But it is configured to C-Script currently.

Right now we are working on the annoying development-> publish transition. ALWAYS bugs crop up in Pub that never show up in Dev. Any clue why?

Anywho, once that annoyance is taken care of, I'll examine the obfuscator and go public with the prototype!

Thanks for the info about obfuscator. I'm going to finish my project with c-script, so perhaps I'll try it out one day when I get around to publishing.

@Fastlane: Try - warn_level = 2; in your dev. Although, I usually just test with it at "1". What type of bugs are you finding?

We got rid of such problems by 'level "...wmp";'- to include all entities of the other levels, and 'bind' - to include all entities called/created via script.
Not sure, if this solves your problems...
