damian666 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) yes, i agree, but what if its different on other languages? i cant replace a dutch version with a english version man. thats why i need a way to patch it on script runtime... damian666 edit: and its a messy solution to include all language versions man. i am looking for a clean solution.

You will have to supply code to account for all differing versions, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian666 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 because i think that the hex patch is the same in all, but you are right... i dont know that yet. but i rather supply all the code, then the files itself. that will result in a smaller file. and its just the way i want it to be man but thanx anyway man. damian666 and proud of it!!!

Moderators SmOke_N Posted April 25, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) as far as i know i have to replace "81 EC 88 00 00 00 A1 18" with "33 F6 8B C6 C9 C2 08 00" Why not just write to the file through binary then... psuedo code$hFile = FileOpen(File, 16+2) $var = FileRead(File) $strbin = StringToBinary($var) $strrep = StringReplace($strbin, "81EC88000000A118", "33F68BC6C9C20800") $binstr = BinaryToString($strrep) FileWrite(File, $binstr) FileClose($hFile) Edited April 25, 2008 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponx Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure whats happening...I made a copy of my original uxtheme.dll file and used XVI32 (hex editor) to search for the original hex string, which was found at address 1BB6C. I run the script and afterwards the modified string can not be found. Jumping to that address shows the original string still intact. Here is the code I used: $infile = "uxtheme.ubk" $outfile = "test.dll" ;Open original file read only $hIn = FileOpen($infile, 16) ;Read in contents $var = FileRead($hIn) ;Close handle to original file FileClose($hIn) ;Convert to binary code $strbin = StringToBinary($var) ;Perform replacement $strrep = StringReplace($strbin, "81EC88000000A118", "33F68BC6C9C20800") If @ERROR Then MsgBox(0,"","Match not found") Else ;Convert binary back to string $binstr = BinaryToString($strrep) ;Open handle to output file $hOut = FileOpen($outfile, 16+2) ;Write to output file FileWrite($hOut , $binstr) ;Close handle to output file FileClose($hOut) EndIf Edited April 25, 2008 by weaponx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnyWhiteGuy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I don't think you need SringToBinary() in there, because you read in the data in Binary form to start with, so there's not a string to convert to binary, it should already be there.
