To offer BuiltByBit’s resource creators the utmost means of self-protection when publishing their resources, all resource categories offer placeholders which will be used to inject the download information at their locations every time the resource is downloaded.
This information can be used to identify any users who have leaked your product, identify the exact version which was leaked, and even develop your own DRM system.
The following placeholder identifiers are available for usage in all resource categories:
%%__BUILTBYBIT__%% - ’true’ for all resources downloaded through our platform
%%__USER__%% - Downloader’s user ID
%%__STEAM64__%% - Downloader’s Steam64 ID (or null if unlinked)
%%__STEAM32__%% - Downloader’s Steam32ID (or null if unlinked)
%%__USERNAME__%% - Downloader’s username
%%__RESOURCE__%% - Downloaded resource ID
%%__RESOURCE_TITLE__%% - Downloaded resource title
%%__VERSION__%% - Downloaded resource version
%%__VERSION_NUMBER__%% - Downloaded resource version number (e.g v1.0.0)
%%__TIMESTAMP__%% - Download epoch timestamp
%%__NONCE__%% - A secondary unique hash representing the download *
You are also able to create your own placeholders without format restrictions, of the following types:
