the bsc sound files can be cracked. i got sent a game which i was meant to be hosting with lots of those files in it. i obviously said, no, way! i am not, under any circumstances, hosting that unless you change those sounds, because i'm not sure that justin would approve of that.
i myself have also witnessed someone decompiling the pipe2 sounds with a program made for unpacking game files and scanning an encrypted zip file for sounds. regards, damien ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ken the Crazy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 8:25 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] encrypting sound files > Hi Ken, > That is a perfect example of what does and does not work for encryption. > BSC's games like Troopenum seam to be using an encrypted file packing > utility like Molebox.
