❓ Packs in EyeAuras

📦 What is a Pack? Packs (from the English Pack — package) are a feature of EyeAuras designed to simplify the distribution of user scripts. Whether it's a fishing bot, a set of macros, or a complex behavior tree — all of this can be packaged into one convenient archive.

✅ What is included in a Pack?

A pack consists of several parts:

• 💻 Program — version of EyeAuras compatible with the current configuration
• 🔧 Program Configuration — security settings, update channel (Alpha/Stable), etc.
• 📝 User Scripts/Auras/Macros/Behavior Trees

♻️ All this is packaged into a single ZIP archive, which can be easily copied and distributed.

🚀 How to create your own Pack?

1. 🖊 Right-click on the folder you want to pack and select Publish.
   

2. 💾 In the opened window, click Publish folder.
   

3. 🟢 If everything went well, a green icon with the word sync will appear.
   

4. 🔗 To download the pack, open the link to the right of the pack.

5. 📥 On the opened page, click Download portable pack to download the ZIP archive.

❓ Standalone vs Pack

• Standalone - version you download from the homepage of the website. It registers itself in Programs and is generally a regular, full-fledged program. Most development is expected to be done through Standalone.
• Pack - portable version of the program that lives independently of Standalone and may contain additional changes made by the author through configuration.

📦 Portability

This is certainly the key feature - packs are by definition portable, meaning they do not require installation.

Stealth

Packs do not register themselves in the list of programs, they keep their configuration with themselves, and logs - also nearby. In general, they do not leave many traces and can be launched even from a flash drive.

⚙️ Unique Settings

The author of the pack (not the user, but the one who controls the pack) has the advantage of specifying a set of unique settings that dictate exactly how their pack should look and operate - for example, you can even hide the EyeAuras user interface and leave only your own, implemented with C# scripts and Blazor Windows. You can also configure the pack so that there are no original C# scripts in the ZIP archive at all - this will speed up launch time and enhance security, which is important if you are distributing some private or paid solution.

⚙️ Setting - Pack Distribution Policy

Pack Distribution Policies

• Any ➔ Import or download the pack — user's choice.
• Prefer Packed ➔ Emphasizes downloading the packed version, hiding script import (though import remains available).
• Packed Only ➔ Allows only downloading the Pack, without the import option.

⚙️ Setting - Script Compilation Mode

Now when exporting a new version of the pack, you can specify the script compilation mode. This allows:

• Reducing compilation time for users
• Protecting scripts by excluding their source code from the pack, leaving only binary files

Binary files? Scripts?

I explained this in detail here.
Briefly:

• Scripts — this is the text version of your program.
• Binary files — this is the compiled, ready-to-work program.

Compilation Modes

• 📝 Script Only ➔ Scripts are included in text form, compilation occurs on the user side.
• 📝 Scrith with Binaries ➔ Scripts and compiled files are included simultaneously.
• 📦 Binaries Only ➔ Scripts are excluded, only binary files are included.

⚙️ Setting - C# Script Protection

This option regulates how much EyeAuras will attempt to protect your scripts from prying eyes. More about script protection - here.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

💡 What happens if I forget to enable protection when packaging? In that case, your scripts will be packed in standard form (simply compiled and without additional protection).
