.maki to .m?

[qlimo]

Hey guys,
does anybody know if there is a way how to convert .maki files back to .m ones?

[SOOPRcow]

Currently there is know way to do that and hopefully it stays that way. I don't want people to be able to decompile my scripts "just to see how things work". If I want people to be able to see the source I'll provide the source (which I end up doing most of the time).

i think it might be possible, but its not been done yet

SOOPRcow says it!
if u really need a script, ask the skinner himself or in the forums. u'll surely be helped!

[RandomCarpet]

why not, this seems possible

i think .maki files are in byte code, not binary, so they can be decompiled similarly java .class files are

[Jammy]

Possible but a lot of effort unless someone comes out with a program to do it.

Also not worth it - if you want it ask for the source, not many skin authors will say no. Most include it as a matter of course.

well the guys at petrol design dont provide their sourcecode and i have no way of getting a hold of them for the file play script

[Hollow]

Why not ask about it here in the forum if you don't have access to the m. I suspect that there is very little that could not be recreated, between the talent here.

Thank you all for effort,but it's not my aim to rip the codes of other skinners,I just wanted to know,if it is possible to do this inverse convertion.

I've figured out how they did the play file. I'm trying to duplicate the slideshow script. That looks awesome.

if you see something that you wanna to use for your skin and you only have the .maki just tell the people what you want to do and they will help you!

[kardyss]

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to figure it out for myself. Which I did.

[Bizzeh]

if a coder doesnt hand out the .m files.. its for a reason

[hammerhead]

Exactly. If there was a maki>>m converter Bizzy's rip-protection system would be rendered useless.
