Hello everyone, I'm trying to protect my game files using own resources in the appgamekit c ++ ...
Is there any way to load a file into a c++ memory and assimilate that memory into a MemBlock Agk in c++ directly?

Yes, of course. Just load the bytes of a file and use them as you want, char, uint, int ecc...

There are a few functions designed to support that generally they are CreateResourceFromMemblock()
For example CreateImageFromPNGMemblock( uint32_t imageID, uint32_t memID )
So this will create and image from a memblock. The idea being you;
1) load an encrypted file into a memblock (CreateMemBlockFromFile())
2) Decrypt it
3) Use CreateImageFromPNGMemblock() to turn it into an image

There are similar function for sounds
I'm not sure why they didn't do it for 3D models as well.

Do these commands not convert the memblock to a 3D models ?

If using c++ as your main language Tier 2

I think you can call AppGameKit commands in c++ using AGk:: at the front

AGk::creatememblock........

Then use the command as you would in AppGameKit itself

I think but that's the idea and don't have any experience with doing this way

That is true but it doesn't really give you an opportunity to encrypt a model like the other commands do.

I guess you could load your model, create a memblock, encrypt that and then save it to disk so yeah, that might work. I'm guessing the file might be a bit big
