Description:
This script is almost just like xmukoux's license check script. This script allows you to get multiple license files to maybe have a different one for each game instead of changing the script and compiling it over again for each buyer of the game. Now also people this isn't even my first script this is my first modification for a script so don't go up to me saying what the hell I could've done this!

EX: You can take orders from people each month on who wants the game. You get the money and you add all the licenses nessisary and add them to the script. Instead of maybe everyday you you have to compile the game 5 times each day.


Script:

Script (NON SDK!!!)

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** License Check - DELTAs Modification
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# A Licence file must be present in order for the game to work!
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# xmukoux (nKrYpTeD)
# DELTA07
# Version 1.0
# 12.30.2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This script is a modification of xmukoux's script.
# I give him 99% credit to this script!
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Instructions: This script allows you to get multiple liscense files.
# to maybe have a different one for each game instead of changing the script
# and compiling it over again for each buyer of the game.
#
# Step 1: After the latest liscense add in these two lines without the quotes:
#
# "# chance number
# if not FileTest.exist?("Liscense name.file extension")"
#
# Step 2: After you insert the two lines you need to create a liscense with the
# name as what you inserted it with into the second line on the two lines
# you entered a moment ago.
#
# Step 3: You now need to add a line after the very last line. The line just
# simply needs an "end" command.
#
# Step 4: If more liscenses wanted to be checked repeat all steps.
#==============================================================================

begin
  # Locate Database
  if not FileTest.exist?("FILENAME.EXT")
    # Second chance
    if not FileTest.exist?("Test.txt")
      #Third Chance
      if not FileTest.exist?("Test1.txt")
        # Show error if script not found
        print ('ERROR MESSAGE')
        # Quit game
        exit
      end
    end
  end
end

Instructions: Instructions are in the script...

Future Plans for next version:
Make SDK Version.
Set license checking to be in a conditional branch for people with low, very low scripting knowledge.
Somehow when I come with more scripting knowledge, the same licenses don't work on two copys of the game.


Credits:
99% of thanks goto xmukoux.
And 1% to me.
Now people if you use this version which is version 1, you don't have to credit me because it isn't that good of a modification. But you'll have to ask about crediting xmukoux.


Bugs:
Only bug or error you can get is a syntax error and this is most likely caused if this script isn't put at the very top of all the other scripts, wrong name, or you forgot to add an end command after the last line for each of you license checks.


This script is also fully tested. You will not get an error if to of the validated licenses are there.
