An Easier Way To Sign Files

Actually the audio signing works dick-all.

The hacked audio hack, that loads stuff other than Linux, uses the Habibi key.

If anyone can find an audio hack that uses the audio key, feel free to tell me, although I believe the audio key is actually the font key.

...but what about the -font key? There are quite a few people who need to sign files that use the fonts hacks...

Yep, the font key's in there.

Currently theres the Habibi and Font section but I'll add the audio section. Hopefully newbs will try both...or know what the hack needs...

Hmmm, I was looking at the code for your bat and SEE the options for both the -habibi key and -font key, but when you hit 1 or 2, it still signs with -habibi.

Also, when you press any key to continue, it automatically starts the signing, regardless of your choice of key. It automatically signs with the -habibi key, or at least it displays it as signing with the -habibi key.

After more carefully viewing, I found that your command "Choice" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable in the batch file. Thus not allowing you to make a choice. Again, this is what happens on an XP machine. I can't say for sure on other O.S. releases.

No offence, but I find typing "xbedump default.xbe -habibi", "xbedump default.xbe -font" or "xbedump default.xbe -audio" into command prompt easier than running it through a batch file. Maybe it's just my l33t command prompt skills.

I don't even see the need for a batch file  blink.gif

Same here. I don't MIND typing it in the command prompt. However, this would be more "user-friendly" to the n00bs... However, I can just see someone coding a GUI for it... laugh.gif

Win2000/XP Users, all you need is a copy of choice.exe in your path... You can find this file on the net very quickly, it is quite popular in pre-2000 batch programming  wink.gif

Why didn't I think of that before--I remember having to do that for my Yzdock when I was running a bat.

Edit2: I upgraded to version two! This one includes the audio signing option, slightly optimized code, and file checking. It also supports commandline (Eg: eazsign.bat audio or eazsign.bat habibi) although typically you can do this on your own if you know whats happening  jester.gif .

Thanks to Morden for helping! Currently I'm working on my 'Single use' batch for you XP users having trouble with the CHOICE commands, or 98-ME users needing just a slim use one.

Damn it always has its downside...

Well I'll probably break-off and learn a better code to code this in. Currently BAT file programming is just getting lucky that your OS has the needed files such as choice, etc...

* Edit I created this because alot of newbs aren't familiar with venturing around DOS. That and I have no idea how to easily tell noobs how to load a command prompt, especially on an XP machine.

Anyone know a noob-friendly code that I could write this in? I haven't written anything bigger than HTML in my life wink.gif...

You should include the choice.exe in your release and make the thing a zip for all us lazy XP users... laugh.gif I believe the choice.exe has to be dumped in the C:\Windows\System32 directory.

EDIT:
BTW, if someone asks how to get to the command prompt in XP, tell them to goto Start, Run, and type "cmd.exe"

Ah, ok, lol. Never knew if that worked or not, and never had the need to ask about it before!

As for including CHOICE is that legal? If it is I'll stuck up an autoextracter of it or something.

Choice is not legal to distribute, but here is the site for a free replacement that you can do with as you wish. It will require (minor) changes. If you run into any trouble let me know... I have been working with bat files for a LONG time!

Sorry to do that but taking software from the OS and sticking it on the net's illegal. I guess GeoCities just doesn't know 'bout that yet smile.gif...

Probably wouldn't be too hard, but of course I've never coded anything before.

Lol Morden, too fast for me!
