Von Quest 1163 Posted October 21, 2020 What do you mean by "locking"? .pbo (mod/game files) can't really be locked per se. Anything you pack/encrypt, the public can unpack fairly easily. Are you referring to "Signing" mod files for Server anti-cheat online/public hosting play? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Addon_Signatures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4052 Posted October 21, 2020 Maybe he means create a pbo, or if not that, possibly set a password for a pbo so its actually locked and it requires and entry password to access it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not technically true - Mikero's paid tool set offers the ability to encrypt/obfuscate the PBOs preventing them from being unpacked (at least afaik). Packing a normal PBO and Binarizing the files (P3Ds, config, rvmats etc) prevent the P3Ds from being opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
