When is simba going to support binary compilation?

[cycrosism]

I think it would be cool, I could compile my scripts to .exe and run them on other computers in my house without having to install anything (if that is the case)

[Wizzup?]

why not just make it a rule that if people were to release scripts on these forums, to make it a .simba, and not an .exe. this would completely stop the security/keylogger issues.

i would like the exe simply because it is easier to transport. even though simba is small, it is annoying to have to install it on a new computer that i will probably never use simba on again, just to run a script. having an exe would make it way easier to run scripts on computers (like i go to computer labs and such).

^ sry if that didnt make much sense, im in a hurry.

Sure, but you can't really stop the spreading of .exe's either. On other forums, etc. We still partially bear the responsibility.

Soon as one "bad" exe goes out it has our signature on it and would just be bad rep. Basically stopping future SRL'ers.

With convenience comes compromise.

So don't tag SRL's name on .exe's?

Honestly why would you ever run a .exe unless you know for a fact that it's safe, I would personally download the script, look over it, and than compile it to an exe myself, and would never download another persons .exe.

While that's very wise of you to do, there will be many, many l33ch3rs who might not even be capable of checking a script for malicious content and they will fall prey to it.

Two words, portable Simba .

I would have already made a tutorial on simba to .exe as I already wrote a program that grabs scripts and compiles the resources + simba and embed it as a manifest.. but it doesnt work because no matter what console u launch simba from, it hijacks it aka.. the conhost process in task manager..

If its a console program, simba will hijack it as its own and the program will never execute.. If its not a console program and u launch it using another program, simba's console will automatically show and will not be hidden... it will give an error such as "you cannot hide this console because it was not created by simba"

Thats the only problem stopping me from doing this :S OR wizzup can just do it IF he has TIME.. or at least make it not jack other consoles..

example: if u open simba and run a script with cmd, it will hijack cmd as its own personal console..
