    Hi guys,


    I'm currently creating some plugins, who will be shared later.

    Just for maintenance and support, I'm wondering how lua can be encrypted, and still be executed when pasting that encrypted text in the plugins pool

    Not so much encrypted but obfuscated.


    You can use the lua load() function to load some binary data and you can obfuscate the readable code so it's hard to interpret, but if the console can read it so can a sufficiently determined user.


    There are some paid MA3 plugins that use this method, some of them even have a free version that you can take a look at.
