My question is maybe trivial but anyway....
Whats the best way to protect the Artassets in the final release build ??
PW protected zip for the ex. "starter.fps" folder.
Or do you guys any other way doing this ?

I'm not sure - all I know is it packages it up in an encrypted RAM store of some sort so the assets are not on the physical disk to be ripped. Maybe check out the demo if one exists.

I have been contemplating building a virtual file system for Torque, basically Data.dat contains all the files, Data.map have byte offsets and filenames, then I would have to modify Torque to instead of looking for the file name, open data.map, find the offset and read the file contents from data.dat.
I would however be VERY interested in a simpler way if anyone knows one.

What's wrong with using the regular zip support? Why reinvent the wheel and make it weaker?

Zip is a known format, easily reversed (I have done it with many games that use Zips to store assets.
