I'm currently working on a project with a lot of .3ds media. Is there any possible way to compact the data so no one can edit/steal the objects i've made but DBC will still be able to read and use the media in the file. For instance, Say I have 15 .3ds files for my first level and I want all 15 objects to combine into one file called level1. Then DBC can read all 15 objects inside my 1 file as if they were all there unaltered. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, instead of using make exe you can use make final. Most of your media should be included inside of the exe file. Make sure you test it though because sometimes it doesn't work correctly.

I've tried that, but for some reason it doesnt include all of the media, so when i run the program where the media isn't present, the program crashes . Thats why I want to combine all the files into a few files.

Have a look at write fileblock and read fileblock, they'll allow you to easily store everything in 1 file.
