Hi =)

You may have read the latest post (I hope so: I was expecting new comments there, and not under this post). I'm going as fast as I can. I'm almost through with the hole thing. I guess that in a week I can give you the syntax to start working with the new scripts. In not more than 2 week I'll provide the beta.

I hope this is fast enough. If not, I'm sorry but it's really as fast as I can go.

So, I considered various options. And at last I came to this solution: I'm currently implementing the LUA scripting language into the CFF Explorer. It's a solid scripting language used by 3d-games as well. So, it will be very easy to do simple operations and more difficult ones as well. I don't know if this is really necessary, but I think it's a look at the future and it gives me the opportunity to extend the scripting not only to resources.

I hope you like the idea.

A simple command would look like:

AddResource(...)

just one line of code. As I said, it's a very easy syntax, it looks a bit like python (which I won't implement, because that would be just too much).

as i posted in the msfn forum here

im not really suggesting true command line, but rather a signle text file with 1 command per line,

so for the end user it would look exactly like running patcher.exe [commands] like you said above but this SHOULD NOT meen that it has to be parsed by command.com - but rather by the patcher itselfe,

so it parsed line 01
[file to be patched] [stuf to do with it] [other required info] \\next line\\

for the outside world it just looks like command line arguments, but parse upfront rather than per action,
