RPG Maker Cook Tool Deluxe
Introduction
The RPG Maker Cook Tool Deluxe is the successor of the original Cook Tool. It's main job is to protect the source code and assets of RPG Maker MV and MZ games. It also includes an arsenal of utilities to tailor the tool to your needs. These include:
- Compiler: Using NW.js' JS Source Protection, the tool converts the source code to binary files (that NW.js understands. In this version, this capability has been enchanced with the Hotpatch system, making the manual patching of files a thing of the past. Plus, it enchances the encryption.
- NW.js Manager: Retrieves the relevant version of NW.js (that you've selected) and uses it for various functions. It can also apply new icon and information for the executable.
- Metadata Editor: Exposes settings for the executable.
- Package Creator: Packs the game files into one package (package.nw) or into Halva Packages. Reduces the game's size at the cost of longer startup times.
