Well it also doesn't allow you to take screen shots...which is a huge part of a community experience.

Point taken.

It would be fun to program though...

ROFLMAO xD
Changing the clipboard... only maybe by adding a watermark, not by setting it to a black screen xD

Or instead of using print screen, change the clipboard and make f11 the Screen shot key. The screenshot saves to a directory BUT, it saves as a JPEG with crappy quality. This would make it hard to rip.. and if it was successful it most likely would not be the same as the original and not to mention, you now have a game that has Print Screen locked, and Encrypted GFX but can still screenshot. and when I say a low quality for the JPEG, I dont mean too low, just low enough to make any "Ripper" go "Eff that."

At the end of the day, any good ripper will use a 3rd party program to screenshot it and get around that. Tongue

Well I guess there is not much you can do about that, so lets try and prevent that.. how? Use shitty GFX, or RMXP Wink

It's a hobbiest game. If you really wanna prevent someone from stealing your custom graphics, copyright them and send cease and desist orders when you find games using them, if that doesn't work, sue them.
