They did nothing more than changing the signature of the files, both for the rpa and the rpyc.
Then they deleted the altered .py files to prevent the access to the sources. But like Ren'py, Python don't effectively compile, so the sources can be easily restored.
Will devs learn one day that they can't protect their sources, and that anyway it's totally unnecessary ?

The sad thing is the amount of time it took them to do that. They could have been working on real features, instead of trying to keep the pirates from seeing their code.

When I was working on computer security, one of the senior admin said that, if it need more time for you to deploy a security measure, that it will need for someone to bypass it, then it don't worth it ; he was obviously talking about the extra layers, not the base.
Including the fix for sigCorrector, I needed less than 5 minutes to revert everything. I don't know how many time they needed, but I'm sure that it was more.
Off course, the average player will not know how to do it. But the average player also don't care about this. And those who care, either know how to do it, or where to ask for help.
Definitely in the correct directory. It's in the root folder of the game (with the game's exe, etc...). Not in the game folder.
The cab file gets created; but it fails to extract unrpyc.py from it for some reason. I can extract it manually from the cab; but doing so mid-process results in a different error.
Edit: Found a solution. Not sure why; but expand.exe doesn't function correctly outside of the System32 directory on my PC for whatever reason. Copying expand.exe into the game's root directory with the bat file made it work correctly.

Interesting... maybe wherever you have it stored doesn't have full write privileges for your account?
A newly released game on the forum encases it's files (both img and script) in a .rpc file, instead of the standard .rpa, while trying to use UnRen, after renaming it .rpa, UnRen identifies the files inside, but cant extract them. Anyone know more on this? Thankful for help!

I guess it would help to know the name of the game...
In this case it's Sunshine Valley, but I guess if this is something new, others might do the same to try and protect their images, so it would be nice to have a generic solution for this

use this rpatool version to extract the rpc files. but i won't create a separate unren.bat.
I can't seem to run unren.bat, every time I do it just pops up and closes immediately, no matter where I try to open it. Using Windows 10, closed antivirus when I did

Be sure it's in the correct directory. Also, you could open a command prompt (cmd), navigate to the directory and type unren.bat in there. This way, the window stays open and you can see if there are any messages displayed.

This isn't a cheat - it's a utility that allows you to unpack and decompile renpy games. You can use the unpacked game data -TO- cheat, and it's got a function that will enable the command-line console in renpy games, but it doesn't directly let you cheat.

Well, for some reason, powershell is missing in your computer. Try this

It's your screenshot that explicitly designate powershell... For some reason, powershell is not found, therefore unren can't works correctly.

Maybe your PATH doesn't include the directory that powershell is in?
