When you create your games, all the media are stored outside. is there a way to store the media inside the game or make files that cannot be tampered with? Maybe dlls?

Just off the top of my hean, but if you got a good
installer program,
wouldn't that encrpyt all your files,
which makes them non tamperable?

You could encode all your media within data statements in the code, but that would be incredibly tedious. You could mess up the files using an encryption algorithm, then decode them bit by bit at run-time, but this would be slow.

Are we forgetting the project manager, which allows you to embed and encrypt into your EXE?

Plus Reading and Writing Fileblocks / Dirblocks could give you some sort of PAK file archive solution - read up on those commands in the DBP help, under "Files".
