Is it possible to only encrypt data without "packaging" it?

Hey, sorry for the noob question. I didn't manage to figure out this basic info on my own. Is it possible to encrypt your game data only, without creating a package with this tool? Basically, I would only like to encrypt my Data folder. Thanks for the help and the tool!

Hello, Arxxur!

At present, encrypting game data without packaging is not feasible. However, you can encrypt your game files using RPG Maker's export function and then compile the source code, which is an option in the project settings. This method will safeguard your game's assets and code, and there are plugins available to protect the database. Be aware that some plugins might not function correctly after compilation.

Great! Thanks for explaining how to set this up. I was able to safeguard the code. Unfortunately, I didn't find any plugins that worked for me for database encryption (Im using MZ). Do you have a recommendation maybe?
