Vishnu is a FPSC version 1.05(same version worked in 1.04 so no need to update yet) media protection application set. It can work with previous versions, but to make full utilization of the save load features of FPSC, it has been tested with the most up to date version of the TGC software. It consist of 2 parts, the first being the zipping executable, and the second is the loader that is either distributed with the users media, or you can make a download available on your site for your patrons to use on any of your FPSC made games.
This version of a protection utility takes protection a step further. We all know that a persons ability to gain access to a temp folder, for the most part makes packing agents useless in all but a few cases where the 'would-be-thief' has little, or no knowledge of where to look.
Vishnu 1.2 takes your files assets, and runs them from a encrypted password zip. Missing the password would make the file useless and corrupted.
Vishnu 1.2 also stops people from opening up the WINDOWS/temp folder from which your game is run. If Vishnu 1.2 is open, attempting to open this temp directory causes the window to close, and the user is left only getting as far as the C:WINDOWS directory.
Attempts to gain access to the temp folder via the cmd.exe, whether from run, or a windows folder, or via a dos prompt, closes the dos prompt.
Though nothing made can or will ever be 100% crack proof, the protection afforded by Vishnu 1.2 is going to be , hands down, your best solution to protect your hard work at this time. The level of protection supplied, matches, and in some cases, exceeds the protection afforded big companies games where the loss of media far greater hurts you, the indie developer, then companies that can pad the losses a bit easier.
Product review:
*Vishnu 1.2 works with FPSC v1.5 and prior versions, wile allowing all of the functionality of FPS Creator including the save and load features of the most recent update.
*Vishnu 1.2 password protects your game assets with a high level of security.
*Vishnu 1.2 closes common and extended loop holes thieves use to gain access to your valuable game media.
*Vishnu 1.2 checks for programs running that may aid in cracking the software, and gives an error message asking you to shut them down or the game will not "unpack"
*Vishnu 1.2 Disables keyboard functions like alt+tab/ctrl+alt+del and others making looking for files or starting up applications later, near impossible.
Vishnu 1.2 * Locks the user out of folders wile Vishnu is running. Again making it hard on would be thieves.
(and more, but this is all were telling you)
(Side note) Delete any betas you may have as to not mix them up.
