Goddamn DRM

adrientd

At least it wasn't that much different from XXL1

pegperegogaucho

There will probably be DRM protected values for enemies as well

adrientd

Yup, there

adrientd

7 bytes per enemy component

pegperegogaucho

Might as well store entire component in the executable :LUL:

pegperegogaucho

Anyways XXL2 offers much more flexibility when it comes to enemies and squads, I'm tempted to see what you can do :PauseChamp:

mr.rubinshtein

entire game is one big DRM protection

mr.rubinshtein

pegperegogaucho

Not sure what their thought process was behind it

mr.rubinshtein

it was probably something new in industry

mr.rubinshtein

which is why they added to be fancy

Classes that had DRM values are: the door, the boss, hero, slot machine, Obelix catapult, and the enemy components

adrientd

For the door it was the duration of opening/closing animation, and for the slot machine its price.

That's funny :KEKW:

You crack it improperly and the door opens at 0.000001 m/s :LUL:

adrientd

Their intention probably were that if someone would make a crack, they would have to get rid of the DRM code, but that code is essential to get the values needed. If the values are wrong, the game might still run, but things will start to become off :LUL:

adrientd

This is a trick by game devs to make crackers think that their cracks work, and they release it, and then players realize in the game that the slot machines are too expensive, the doors open slowly, enemies are too strong, ...

adrientd

In some way it is to artificially decrease the quality of the game if someone would attempt to crack the game

adrientd

while still keeping it playable at some extent
