Is there a way to encrypt a compiled map or CRC it so that it can only be run on a specific server without the use of a server-side (3rd party) DLL? For example, I have heard that the nao_ maps on GirlPower2 and some of the newer maps for TheSillyZone (both TFC Servers) have this so that the maps cannot be run on other servers. If this is possible, how so? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Fearn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 9:23 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] rmf format
