Help Encrypting my client

[Xzanidu]

Hi so im pretty new to all this and im basicly just running a small server for about 10-15 friends of mine . but i want them to figure my server out learn wheer things drop learn what respawn timers are ect ect . so normally ppl just download a servers client and then run that client on their one server exe to read the files and find out all this information. i am wondering is there a way to encrypt your client so they cant run it on a server exe locally to get all the info they want ?

I'd question them being friends if you can't trust that they don't look in to your drop files when you ask them not to

Customise the drop files, then they wont be the same as the public source.

Ziron drops and stuff is stored client side too.

Zircon works different to crystal Jev. All library data is stored in the client for anyone to access.

Oh that's crap. Anyway to have that changed? or is it just unpractical.

Its just how zircon works. You'd be rewriting the whole system from scratch to do it differently i expect.

Price ? Why don’t you try and help the community instead of filling your wallet ?

I mean...those fish you could probably count on a single hand, he's just 1 shark among a good 200 odd sharks lol.

I believe the intention was to make the client smoother and more responsive, minimising how much was being loaded from the server side. The instanced player drop may also have had something to do with it.
