ase with the reverse of this code you allready kinda did our work for us LOL –

instead of one bitmap to all file – we use all bitmaps to one file with the current reshacker with had to include each file in the script and when for example microsoft added a resource or changes one whe had to completely re-touch the script … now it would just make us rename a single bmp file or add one …

this wil make life so mutch easier if some guy wants to create his own custom package…

Yesterday I was working a lot on the scripting and wrote the AddResource function which is almost ready. This doesn’t sound like a lot, but it was a lot of stuff to write. I implemented handles and other stuff in the scripting.

The possible syntaxes for this function are:

AddResource(FileName/Handle, ResName/Handle, ResTypeNameOrId)
AddResource(FileName/Handle, ResName/Handle, ResTypeNameOrId, ResNameOrId)
AddResource(FileName/Handle, ResName/Handle, ResTypeNameOrId, Language)

Which basically means that you could call this function in a lot of ways. The first two parameters can be file names or handles, e.g.:

AddResource(“ciao.exe”, “res.bmp”, RT_BITMAP)

or:

filehandle = OpenFile(“ciao.exe”)
AddResource(filehandle, “res.bmp”, RT_BITMAP)

The return value of this function is either true or false.

Here’s a little script I wrote yesterday:

filename = GetOpenFile(“Select a PE…”, “All\n*.*\nexe\n*.exe\ndll\n*.dll\n”)

if filename == nil then
return
end

resname = GetOpenFile(“Select a bitmap…”, “bmp\n*.bmp\n”)

if resname == nil then
return
end

bRet = AddResource(filename, resname, RT_BITMAP)

if bRet == true then
MsgBox(“Resource Added!”, “MyScript”, MB_ICONINFORMATION)
else
MsgBox(“Couldn’t add resource.”, “MyScript”, MB_ICONERROR)
end

This script asks for a file, then for a bitmap and then adds the bitmap to the file.

Or maybe I could add a bitmap to all exes in a given dir chosen by the user, e.g.:

str = GetDirectory(“Select Directory…”)

if str then

reshandle = OpenFile(“res.bmp”)

hSearchHandle = InitFindFile(str .. “\\*.exe”)

if hSearchHandle then
FName = FindFile(hSearchHandle)

while FName do
AddResource(FName, reshandle, RT_BITMAP)
FName = FindFile(hSearchHandle)
end
end
end

Hope you like it.

Unfortunately I can’t work on it in the next two days. The next step is to write the SaveResource function.

I can’t see your email from your profile, could u write it to me?

I’m asking for it because I decided to send you as soon as possible a first version of the cff with the AddResource command (deleting resources is much easier). So, as I said, I’m started working on it today, as soon as I finish I’ll send you the exe to try.

There is still a lot to do, and as I said I don’t think I can give you a complete scripting in less than 2 weeks.

Needless to say that this feature seems to be what people REALY want and need…

goodluck and best wishes…

btw – i hope my email is visible to you as its your blogg, that way if you want to send me some files or testversions, youd know where to contact me… if you prefer IM (thrueg skype, gtalk or msn messenger for live- feed back, also send me a message im usually online from about 10.00 (GMT +1) till 24:00

well it should be quite easy if you just want to do res hacker script things. It would look something like this:

File = OpenFile(“filename”)
AddBitmap(“file.bmp”)
SaveFile(File)

For these operation you won’t need to learn any lua syntax.

What do u think? =)

so here it is…. basicly all we have to do is test, figure out lua is harder than expected, take some tutorials, test again, maybe report some issues, or aditional request…

And ofcaurce WORSHIP THEE…. as thy art king of reshacking

By the way, the problem was only that the menu “close” had the same ID of the button (strangely enough) and the message was handled in the wrong way.

Thank you for you report anyway.
