thanks for this nice tool.

I would like to run it fully unattended from a batch script but lpatch always ask me to answer y/n/c.

1/ creation of lpatch.dat
original dll and binary modified dll put all together in r:\temp folder

Code:

mlpatch original.dll patched.dll "anti-msopa"

2/ script to patch the dll

Code:

pushd "pathname"
lpatch_nogui -y lpatch.dat original.dll
popd

also tried

Code:

pushd "some_path"
lpatch_nogui lpatch.dat original.dll yes
popd

in both cases, lpatch always ask me to confirm choice (y/n/c):

what's wrong with syntax used in my command?
-y or yes should give answer and run lpatch unattended?

eh eh eh you are correct, the error is mine :)

in the meantime of a new version you can use:
echo y|lpatch_nogui -y lpatch.dat original.dll

Using output of echo y command and pipe to lpatch_nogui.exe is OK on the 1st computer and 2nd i checked
but on a 3rd high-end computer with plenty of memory and SSD, it fails.
I'm guessing the echo command does not expel its output before the system has a chance to build the pipe to lpatch_nogui.

Tried different way to work around this.

created a dummy file with just a "y" in it and use the syntax:

lpatch_nogui -y lpatch.dat original.dll < yes.txt

same issue with 3rd computer

I hope you'll release Lame Patcher 0.4.5 soon with -y switch fixed.

I will have to wait a few minutes or hours.
Downloaded again http://aluigi.org/mytoolz/lpatch.zip at 14:30(UTC+1).

checked with command:
mlpatch lpatch_nogui.exe lpatch_nogui201011011430.exe
and found no differences.

I assume i should give you more time to upload the new lpatch.zip to your website. I don't want to put pressure on you.

Finding your toolz website (Google search for a binary patcher i could run from command line and that can be scripted), i'm getting very excited to discover lpatch could do that and started to rewrite my batch scripts to use it.
In the meantime, i also tried mydown and is multithread feature. Really a better alternative to wget or Curl for my scripts.

Oh, never mind.

0.4.4a working as expected.
can be used in command batch scripts.
Perhaps not M$ approved but at the end who care? |-D
