Summary:
Godot 4 has encrypted PCK feature to protect game assets
Godot 3 has script encryption, though I’ve never seen it in action…
References:
Solution:
Here’s a snippet that adds --pck-key argument to pass PCK encryption key
Insert it to https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/4.4.1-stable/main/main.cpp#L1656
} else if (arg == "--pck-key") {
if (N) {
String key_hex = N->get();
N = N->next();
if (key_hex.length() != 64) {
OS::get_singleton()->print("Invalid PCK key: must be 64 hex characters (256-bit), aborting.\n");
goto error;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 32; ++i) {
unsigned long byte_val = strtoul(key_hex.substr(i * 2, 2).utf8().get_data(), nullptr, 16);
if (byte_val > 255) {
OS::get_singleton()->print("Invalid hex digit in PCK key, aborting.\n");
goto error;
}
script_encryption_key[i] = static_cast<uint8_t>(byte_val);
}
} else {
OS::get_singleton()->print("Missing value for --pck-key, aborting.\n");
goto error;
}
