Where bits is the number of bits in the key (default 64, recommended 512). To generate a new key, type in the console and copy-paste the returned value in your text editor: lua_run print( momo_encryption.CreateKey( bits ) ) This applies when you update a file, when you change encryption method and when you encrypt different files. Step 3: Generate a keyįor safety, avoid reusing keys and do your best to make them unique. Do not forget to create that folder.ĭo not use the garrysmod/data folder because it's writable from the game!īy doing this, you keep clear files for future edits in a safe place. You can choose garrysmod/momo_encryption/myaddon/. Now it's time to move your non-encrypted files into a safe folder, outside of Lua folders. Step 2: Move files that you want to encrypt

gamemode / entities / weapons scripts require an additional header before encryption, because they won't be loaded in the same context they usually are otherwise.

GM / hook.Add() / ENT / SWEP hooks that happen at initialize time will be ignored because they will be loaded late.

Note that, for clientside encrypted files: You need to understand that encrypted files will by loaded by the client after startup because decryption information will arrive late.

You need to split parts that can be encrypted and parts that cannot be into 2 different Lua files.

Supported scripts are: autorun, autorun/client, gamemode, entities, weapons.

You need to make sure that your scripts can be encrypted. I do not recommend to place them there until I figure out how to include them. I will not deal with encrypted Lua files that include other encrypted Lua files.Įvery console command that I tell you to run is always to be entered in the server's console.įor now I'm a little lost with how to include encrypted files stored in the gamemodes folder.

I will try to be clear and easy, but if you have any problem while trying to understand, please post an issue. The guide will help you through the process of encrypting a shared or a client Lua script.
