how to obfuscate lua Script for wow ?

well i want to share some my profile after obfuscated, but i have no idea how to do it.

i have tried this

[Code] Camouflaging Lua Code

but it doesnt work for WOW in game...

Sadly you can't obfuscate or encrypt wow addon files, unless you want to do some HUGE function hunting/redefining.

thank u

what about this, unobfuscated LUA code:

function UnitBuffID(unit, spell, filter)
	if not unit or unit == nil or not UnitExists(unit) then 
		return false 
	end
	if spell then 
		spell = GetSpellInfo(spell) 
	else 
		return false 
	end
	if filter then 
		return UnitBuff(unit, spell, nil, filter) 
	else 
		return UnitBuff(unit, spell) 
	end
end

Obfuscated LUA:

function ynaxvooukx(gbgd, yjjkd, qrsiin)
if not gbgd or gbgd == nil or not UnitExists(gbgd) then 
return false 
end
if yjjkd then 
yjjkd = GetSpellInfo(yjjkd) 
else 
return false 
end
if qrsiin then 
return UnitBuff(gbgd, yjjkd, nil, qrsiin) 
else 
return UnitBuff(gbgd, yjjkd) 
end
end

Is there a easy way to convert the whole xxx.lua profile like this ?

just let others cant read the profile so easy.

I have tried this:

Capprime Lua Obfuscator

but there are some limits

It can obfuscate only 3000 characters at a time, and only 6000 characters per day (from a single IP address).

I wish I had more information on this, I never looked into it much. You're definitely on the right track.

That's a shame, you don't know why it happens?

Not too sure what you mean there.

no idea why. maybe because i didnt play with official hb

Not too sure what you mean there.

looks like u are not obfuscate ur profile anymore. u are using a new way to protect ur code.

and every customer has their own key which is very cool.

I have never learned programming and lua. I just read them.

so now, I'm thinking how to use LuaMinify.

how to do this :

LuaMinify sourcefile [destfile]

if u would like to give me some guidelines step by step

Ah okay, HB doesn't use LUA so the approach is very different.

My memory is hazy, but to use it you need luaforwindows, which lets you execute .lua files from the command line. If you are new to this it might be better to find an online service that does a similar thing, like: https://mothereff.in/lua-minifier

thank u

I have luaforwindows but no idea where I can text command line. There are many lua files in LuaMinify. some of them will auto closed immediately when I open them with Lua.exe such as CommandLineMinify.lua

did i open it in a wrong way ?

:confused:
