god, i wanted to be finished with this for the holidays. ok here it goes; if i make the batch script so it can be ran along side addons and update packs, ill have to kill the manual patcher. so im willing to give it a try,but risingsun,ull have to understand that i asked dougie to make a gui cause i was tired of the long and widing road the batch script uses,yeah i know its crap,not efficient and stupid, ive said it time and time again in the past.i said to myself i wouldint change it again since it dosent make sense working on a crappy batch file when dougie is doing it 10 x better via autoit( i want to eventualy scrap the bach and only use dougie's gui).i do know its not simple and easy to read back previous posts to comprehend the past history or acctualy read the batch file and also comprehend what it does... cause both are long and no fun to do.

a check for xp version can be done in the same manner as the batch files does; check if a version specific file exists. when i mean remove ,i mean remove resources in the file. then patch the said file with the wanted .res. " If i take it through Xptsp before it goes through nLite, I would have to wait for a ~75mb Driver Folder to be Cabbed" either way ure fu*ed. nlite has to decompress the cab file,and xptsp has to decompress the cab file.you cant really do it on the fly while n lite has it decompressed cause you cant be sure the update pack has ben processed 1st or not(well this is more of an rvmi thing as ure supposed to use it with the addon version).i have to say that i dont use nlite and dont care much for it either.that maybe explains the poor compability with the addon version of xptsp.(btw the only thing keeping it from being compatible with nlite is this): [FileMove] XPtsp.exe,..\* [RunFile] XPtsp.exe,HIDE XPtsp.bat [FileDelete] ..\XPtsp.exe the script adds : windows sound scheme files <<cabbed oobe files <<cabbed user account bmps <<cabbed .msc files <<nlite dosent touch these theme <<cabbed setup.exe and autorun resource folde approx total size:9-10 mbs. so this means if you've removed all that you can with n lite and passed xptsp after, it will add that much on top of the size it would have produced after patching anyways. nothing added by xptsp is in the sp*.cab or driver.cab files.so again why not pass the nlite removal after or do it manualy? anyways case closed, its getting late.

yeah the batch is not perfect, but i am very happy with the job dougie's gui is doing. but im happy to see ure intrest in the project!. here is a thought, integrate ure stuff with n lite,now use xptsp,after remove with nlite ure stuff ,then ure done!. also: there are files that are being added that arent defaults,ive had a look at ure autoit script and there is a missing function for xp version specific file patching. also there are several files that need the deletion of the res objects in the destination file b4 receiving the res patch. at first glance the batch does appear to do same thing all the way thru. mr fixit has remade the whole pack in blue; http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?sho...ost&p=38741

yeah, it does look kinda nice.

:beerchug:

cut sum toes off? jk. i always hear a hissing sound out of my right ear resulting from work, ben like this since 2005.workplace accidents/long term damages are a b*tch.

intresting ideas...

@ snakeckraker if you dont want to be answered lies,dont ask.lololol *but seriously i dunno if users using win 7 and posting their screenshots should be permited, i dunno how the legitemacy of their actions can be juged (maybe they are a beta tester but..)

sorry guys i forgot to uplaod it to wincert ftp, will do.

well how about a pic of cpu-z mobo page and gpu-z too?

nice case mr.smartepants... lol

im currently upgrading but this what i have at the moment: mobo:asus formula crosshair II cpu:AM2 6000+(3ghz)(zalman fan) mem:2 gig dual chan. 800mhz platinum (crapy timings,cheap mem) vga:xfx 260gtx black edition sound:creative X-Fi fatal1ty champion(with front pannel console) hdds:5 seagate x 500gig sataII 7200rpm, 1 seagate x 80gig sataII 7200rpm psu:700 watt OCZ optical:LG supermulti dvd burner do mice keyboards and screens also count? screen:LG 20.1 inch wide screen lwtx204 mouse:razer lachesis keyb:logitech g15 (old blue model,wich is better) i can produce crapy quality cell phone pics if needed. btw: im looking forward to sli my gtx 260 blk ed.,adding corshair dominator mem and buying a phenom II cpu..eventualy lol

dougie, ill ad mirror from wincerts ftp when i get the time. thx kaylar for the temp mirror. amnesia thx for all the updates, they are as of v1.2 included( green color only)

hehahahah ya rrrrrright

well amnesia, mr.fixit has alredy done alot of work on make darker blue res files, maybe wait a bit and see what he has come up with..

yeah thx for the explanation.cause i remember seeing it a while back but and i was wondering if my mind was playing tricks on me.

dougie,i just de cabbed an un-modifyed version of sapi.cpl(speech) and i did not find any other tab in it.i dunno where this speech recognition is coming from.

argh more updates, ill do one last update ..maybe this week. dougie i think ure right, there is something wrong with the speech tab, im completely missing the tab in ure screenie. also super duper work on the live patching,ill try to have a test run in a VM. amnesia thx for all those updates! and about that nice bootscreen, i have no idea what the win 7 boot looks like but im thinking of maybe including it in the win 7 version of xptsp thta i will work on.

well infact its not a bug, lol home dosent have a remote thingy..but the tab is there(i think its just different or something),so id have to chek out the differences in the sysdm.cpl and see whats going on.but ill see what i can do.

ya well guys its ben quite busy for me these days\weeks,so ill update it when i do.

nice, thx for ure tests. "..is there blue or green bitmaps integrated? ...my blue and green German resources will get ready soon. Is it possible to upload them? JBE" i focused on only green resources,mr fixit is working on making them blue, so if you have some work done maybe you could "whiteboard" ure stuff mwith mrfixit's and agree on using one an others work, i dunno,so ask mr fixit. considering everything is prety much finished ima take a break from all this.gona ponder the new se7en resources for a while.

hey thx man

i did my tests with mce so..,if you could check home 1st.thx.

i screwed up the res files, i did not have photoshop and th 16 color palette installed, so i blindly droped the res files in each fodler thinking i wouldint mix it up,lol sorry will fix later 2 night.but mean while i think the bootscr.res in the xtras\home dir should be ok,its not branded at all. "Edit, All the other branding in the OS is Pro. It's only that boot screen that is branded MCE. " ? oh so you checked the other 2 reses and theyr all pro? crap.thx for the heads up.

so the main changes are in the final: each xp version ahs its own bootscreen now,and i have added a hexer that dougie re-wrote for me to hex taskmgr's colors as they were hard coded.i alredy have a blue and pruple hexer,infact this small utility can hex prety much any file,so there are alot of possibilities...(its in the programs folder)(beware, only try patching on a clean taskmgr.exe file if you want to try it manualy. you can eather drop taskmgr on tmhexer.exe or run it via command line like so: tmhexer.exe "ure path to where ever\taskmgr.exe"
