Is there a free program that could protect your grf file?

Hi guys, Is there a way for us to protect or make our .grf file unreadable once repacked? and the only person who could edit/modify their custom grf is it's owner via password?/unlock?

Pretty sure grf editor by tokeiburu can do thid for you'll prolly need some kind of key to open the grf.

It is possible to lock a GRF in such a way, however you wouln't be able to patch it anymore unless you use a custom patcher. I believe Advanced GRF Tool Suit has such a feature, though.The reason this isn't included in GRF Editor is because it reduces the usability of your GRF and creates problems afterwards.

What do you mean by custom patcher? Does this mean that if you encrypt your GRF using GRF editor the client won't be able to read the patched files?

@Aeromesi can you please provide the link of this tool? Thank you in advance.

 

 

My plan is, I'll repack everything that I need inside this custom grf, where patching will no longer be needed for a long time. If protecting this grf file will cause patchers not to work properly due to being unreadable, then I'll make a one way custom grf ready for everything that I need.

 

The thing is, will the system work properly since it's protected?

If yes, then this is going to be helpful for me.

 

My only chance of updating my custom grf file -- is to upload the updated one and ask them to download it manually.
