All images into their own .rvdata file?

Is there any script, module or addon (or any other trick) for RMVX that lets the user put all or some graphic resources (images) into a .rvdata file like all the scripts go into Scripts.rvdata...?

Also, for me it feels more practical to have huge collections of images into one file, so it's not that I at all costs want to "hide" anyone to see the images other than in the game.

The very best regards

I think the generic file type is ZIP or RAR. It's when people take a large collection of images inside of a single folder and do this crazy thing called compressing files. Weird, I know. :V

Also, if you lock down your game when you export it, your images won't be seen and your game can't be edited. Only the audio will remain seen, so the least you could do is set a file naming convention for your audio tracks in your game (only the non-rtp ones).

Other than all that, I don't know why you care. VX and XP, and probably 2k3 all have excellent file management.

The only options I see when exporting the game (compile it) is Create Encrypted Archive and Include RTP data - where is the "lock down" feature? I really want to lock down my game's picture folder, so please do explain how to do it with more details of possible.

Since I am making a Visual Novel it's a bit bad if the user cheat by looking in the pictures folder i.e. that way he/she can see the "good parts" to easy. Visual Novel games have never been big in the west, but in Asia, oh... ^.^;;;

Create Encrypted Archive is the lock down feature.
Online Fanarts Protection - I realised it stopped updating, but I deem it a good cause to promote

This. :)

Create Encrypted Archive will encrypt all your data except for your audio folder. All your graphics will be fine.
