Ren'Py-specific threads go into the Ren'Py forum.

Taken from the Ren'Py documentation:
http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/build.html

Ren'Py supports combining files into a simple archive format. While not very secure, this protects files from casual copying.

By default, all files classified into the "archive" file list will be placed in an archive.rpa archive, which is included in the all file list.

By calling build.archive, it's possible to declare a new archives and the file lists they will be included in. (It's rare to use anything but the all file list, however.) To use an archive, classify files into a list with its name.

For example, the following code will archive images in images.rpa, and game scripts into scripts.rpa:

Code: Select all

# Declare two archives.
build.archive("scripts", "all")
build.archive("images", "all")

# Put script files into the scripts archive.
build.classify("game/**.rpy", "scripts")
build.classify("game/**.rpyc", "scripts")

# Put images into the images archive.
build.classify("game/**.jpg", "images")
build.classify("game/**.png", "images")
If an archive file is empty, it will not be built.

Please think twice about archiving your game. Keeping files open will help others run your game on future platforms - platforms that may not exist until after you're gone.

It's also a good idea to search the forums before searching any questions, there's plenty of threads on the topic already that you might find useful.
