Patched an application for a friend, but can't be bothered to code up an app for it. I also don't want to email the patched files, as they are 10mb each.

So - what code patch creators are there out there so are half-decent?

dogbert patcher from www.anticrack.de (see below) worked fine for me.

Thanks.

Really should have made myself more clear however. I'm looking for a program like that, but one that will take multiple files, and create a single executable output.

For example, if I modify 5 files, I'd like it to patch the 5 in the same exe, instead of having to run the program 5 times and end up with 5 different patch files.

Not found anything on Protools however, and from a quick search on the net, it seems like I'll have to write it myself

squidge, where did you learn to crack?
why do you have 5 patched exe's, all with patches in non-overlapping places??

@squidge

If you create something let me know. Hate creating patchers for each file.
Maybe a generic front end that reads in a database and can have multiple entries. (then can store all patchs into one program)
And a Scanner program to add new information to the database.

@disavowed

maybe they are not all exe. but rather the main exe and a DLLs plus changes. Some programs tend to have a few frontend exe's and these need to all be modified in some manner.

anyway my 2 cents worth

ohhh.. i misunderstood...

i thought there was one exe that needed patching in 5 places, and instead of progressively patching it, he patched each different spot seperately in each copy of the original exe

i guess now my "wtf" response makes sense :P

CodeFusion 3.0 by Kobi, 1999 will do the trick and is readily available and easy to use. Try ProgrammersTools or the likes.

Sorry for the missunderstanding, Squidge.

There are several shareware apps in which you provide a folder with the original files, a folder with the updated files, and it does the job of comparing file by file, storing changes and producing a compact patcher.

RLN PatchMaker is one of them. There is another one I have used before, but is in my work box, and I don't remember the name

Thanks, I'll have a look at CodeFusion and RLN PatchMaker.

@ disavowed: peterg70 is right. For this app, the main exe, the apps dll and a .cdr file need to be modded. They are all modded with the exact same code (as I overwrite the same function in each), but at a different position.
