Editing config.bin

Recommended Posts

thanks for your reply,

yeah i already have the tools, they are really nice.

i've been using wordpad to edit the config.cpp until now and was hoping there might be something a little more practical around...

sometimes it gets a little labor intensive changing a whole block of values which are basically the same number for example...copy/paste helps a little but not much

oh well i guess i'll have to keep on typing everything then;)

Use ultraedit... I'm sure you can track it down...

Also, in Keygety's 'tools' zip file there is a 'syntax highlighting' import file for Ultraedit that highlights different parts of the 'code'... nice.

Eliteness2.12 now fixes the crashing problem some folks reported.

it also handles the FleaBomb introduced to pbo's made using Flea's pbo makers. You will encounter this 'problem' on many, if not most addons made for Arma from our Russian Komrades.

The newer version of eliteness also prevents system and hidden files being incorporated in a pbo, which, is a real bonus for those guys using cvs or sourcesafe applications to create their addons.

Enjoy.

please enlighten... haven't looked at flea's stuff. If he's doing something dodgy I for one would certainly like to know.

most, if not al pbo tools expect to see a 'standard' resistance header containing three ascii strings, declaring in effect that this pbo is a resistance style vs a cold war crisis one.

arma altered the information contained in these strings to contain what bi call virtual paths. (the location of the parent pbo)

the flea pbo maker is a quick 'n dirty to get the job done. it would not, for instance, understand a cwr pbo if it was bitten by one, and the results for arma pbo's are problematic.

flea essentially stripped these strings out as being unecessary (which was true), declaring only a single, null string, void of information. A wrinkle that the 1.95 engine can 'understand' but, afaik, no one else even thought of doing that.

i doubt flea intended this as a crippler, simply a quick means to an end, to produce resistance pbos. or at least pbo's that the 1.95 engine would forgive. However, past history with our comrades from Moscow where there were indeed deliberate attempts to stop decoding (amalfi's excellent pbo tools eg) mean they will use this one too for the same purpose.

and also

http://andrew.nf/ofp/tools/MikeroDosTools1.4.rar

the dos tools are a dos console version of the functions available in the Gui (Eliteness) and now also include an updated version of patchpbo that will merge two Arma (or elite) pbo files together (or any other pbo file for that matter).

dos tool makepbo now raPifies (binarizes) the relevant file(s) such as config.cpp such as description.ext if allowed to.

see documentation inside rars

Enjoy

http://andrew.nf/ofp/tools/DePbo1.55.rar

fixes the 'delete' problem with Eliteness 2.15

download and replace the dll contained in the above rar file with that supplied in in the eliteness package

(http://andrew.nf/ofp/tools/Eliteness2.15.rar)

---

also, http://andrew.nf/ofp/tools/MikeroDosTools1.41.rar

now contains an improved patch pbo that allows you to set the prefix header (rather than assume it's name is one of the patched, pbo's)

syntax patchPbo -APrefix\Folder\Name this.pbo that.pbo

output is to that.patched.pbo but the prefix header contains "Prefix\Folder\Name"

new versions of

eliteness2.23

dostools1.42

depbodll 1.62

Major improvements above are (mostly) to do with ArmA

better include path statements (very different to ofp)

arma sensitive #defines (not quite as powerful as ofp, in cpp mode)

more aggressive lint checking (arma *loves* semicolons)

will now create bisignatures for MP play

rapified (binarised) rvmat files and lintchecking

among other things .... whistle.gif
