Something like that could work, though there isn't much motivation for people to choose that unless they're installing SourceMod for the first time. Maybe I'm wrong there. Generally people don't like radical changes, so you have to sweeten the pot by offering them something really good at the same time.

It has been discussed already. Circumventing such measures is relatively easy for anyone with decent C/C++ skills. As BAIL said, that doesn't stop obfuscation before compile time, but I don't know of any Pawn obfuscators.

IMO SourceMod should just make the breaking change and run plugins from source. It won't be the end of the world.

Yeah...most plugins release their sourcecode right now, and the ones that don't become a lot easier to fix up/replace, thanks to lysis.

I like the idea of running them from source code - and with the compiler being 5x faster, it's that much sweeter

I think that you committing enormous mistake. according to license, don't complain about developing sourcemod. In other words, you can share the idea or source code and so on , you can be stolen by someone and your plugin will be shown on internet site anywhere. but you can't appeal and report to the police. because of license. because of license.
you should recognize sourcemod is not only your. and your server is not dictatorial. you seem that your project should be kept from anything because you are egoistic.

no,

you are not recognize.

you can't appeal to makers of decomplier.

can't appeal. you can't get anything.

[necavi]

Well, its a bit late for that now, the decompiler is here (and even before then, grabbing something like an IP/username/password was...relatively easy, if you knew how to look) so its time to figure out a more secure way of adding information to your database!

[psychonic]

How does the decompiler make things any different for you? Were you planning on breaching the license?

[BAILOPAN]

Starbish: Putting passwords in binaries is highly insecure. A decompiler isn't needed for breaking that model - using the Pawn API, a debugger, a network sniffer (tcpdump/wireshark), will all easily expose your model. You want to look for something more secure.

Remember, when the server is acting as a client, it is also an untrusted data source.
