Here is a little tool I made for those who want their compressed archive without having to go through the installer RPG Maker XP/VX makes.
Considering how long time the compression takes there is also some time to save if your project is big size wise. (Why do such a compression when you gain so little? Unencrypted contents you do gain something though)

I can tell you that RPG Maker XP failed to create an installer for a 228 MB big project. So if your project is big enough you may have to use this tool. I have successfully made a 174 MB .rgssad which seemingly ran perfectly fine. It was a crafted example though.
I haven't tested to see whether RPG Maker VX has the same issue or not.
Quote from: ReadMeCopy the RPG Maker Encrypter.jar over to your project at the same place as Game.exe
Run RPG Maker Encrypter.jar.
Note that no dialog is visible while it works.
It will tell you when it finishes.
I have encrypted 174 MB in less than a minute, so it shouldn't take too long. (Only the Data and Graphic folder will be encrypted)
P.s. I have been lazy with the GUI, it does disappear while the encryption is taking place.*hugs*

Laziness. <3
I /hated/ the default installer for RPG Maker XP.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh wait, I don't have any projects right now. :V:
Laziness <3 (As long as there is not too much of it.)
@Star:
Well then, you have to start a project then.
This encrypter is the bestest reason for starting a project :V
5 Stars for file size. :)
Seemed to work great for a test run. Perfectly encrypted it. One question, does it prevent those RMXP Game Decrypters from working?
If so then another 5 stars. If not still another 5 stars. xD
Anyways nice job Zeriab!
It should not.
I may encrypt the files in a different order, but other than that it should encrypt the files the same way.
Thanks for the stars :D
There is no need for a monster application for this sort of thing. ^_^
Bumping up this topic to tell that anyone who wants can look at the source here: http://paste-bin.com/view/0c9e5733

Thank you, Zeriab! :D
My project was stopped (it has several hundered megas of animations) because of lack of encryption, but this tool will hopefully solve this problem.
You are the man!

Umm... what? I don't think encryption (or lack thereof) would do that to a project. You probably have a different issue. If you post a request, someone should be able to help you get that sorted out.
Nope its not a project issue. Too big project size and rmxp will not encrypt it.

Ah, alright. Sorry, my mistake; I didn't know that. I'll make note of it for future reference.
Lol its fine :)
I am happy it helped you with your project :D
