Title: [Suggestion] VSB Patcher Post by: K-Johnson on July 21, 2009, 07:48:30 am Hi,
I am creating different versions of my theme for others and it is a bit time consuming. I think a simple patching tool would be highly effective (so they can patch it themselves how they like) -- not a global patching tool, per se, but one that works only on certain themes (you can enable whatever protection you want there, Ave ;)). That way, all I have to do is basically export stylehacks and have VSB compile a patcher (.exe) so that users can select (for instance) whether they want Userpicture on or not, or whether they want Max Transparency on. Stuff like that, so I don't have to make a version for each. Perhaps a picture would be easier to explain: (http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/9130/vsbpatcher.jpg) So basically, the author of the theme will be able to export custom stylehacks into a patcher for the users to patch a specific theme! This would be very valuable to me and my time, and I would gladly pay for it. :) Probably easier said than done, huh? :S Title: Re: [Suggestion] VSB Patcher Post by: iJesse on July 21, 2009, 04:22:39 pm Well I know you can do that sorta thing with Restorator. It isn't as nice and clean but you can accomplish the same thing.
Title: Re: [Suggestion] VSB Patcher Post by: K-Johnson on July 21, 2009, 05:06:51 pm Yeah, but it would be even more work to go back into Restorator, find the renumbered images, alter them, find the hex values, test them out, etc.
That's why I propose such feature in VSB that'll do this with the use of our stylehacks. Title: Re: [Suggestion] VSB Patcher Post by: iJesse on July 21, 2009, 06:11:21 pm Well I am definitely up for your idea, I would even pay money for it as well.
