This may be of little use to most people but I figured I'd share my tiny speck of input to the scene...
I have written both a windows batch file and a linux bash script to make the patching of my xex files easier...
Use them at your own risk, I'm no programmer or anything, I'll let you figure out for yourselves how to adapt these scripts for your own requirements...
Linux Script (requires wine to be installed and runs from same dir as xextool)
CODE
#!/bin/sh
echo "backing up original xex file..."
cp default.xex default.xex.old
echo "patching xex file..."
wine XexTool.exe -r a -m d default.xex
read -p "Press enter to continue" nothing
Windows .bat file (you will need to adapt the location of the files used)...
CODE
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Backing up XEX file as default.xex.old...
COPY "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\XexTool_v5.2\default.xex" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\XexTool_v5.2\default.xex.old"
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Patching XEX file now...
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\XexTool_v5.2\xextool" -r a -m d default.xex
ECHO.
ECHO.
pause
As I say, if it's no use to you then don't bother flaming me, I'm just offering up the only help I have the power of giving.
