I want a script that will allow me to rename/move the new exploited font files.

How the new fonts work
They use the standard "bert" and "ernie" xtf files but are not re-named to "xbox" or "xbox book"

In the fonts folder you have "bert.xtf" "ernie.xtf" and "xbox book.bak" and "xbox.bak"

In order to turn OFF the hack, I want to simply re-name the ".bak" files to ".xtf"

Also, I wouldnt mind MOVING the "bert" and "ernie" to the E drive.

Turning the hack back ON would do the oppisite.

Anyway

I got the Font Swapper.xas file from allxboxskins but its designed for the old style fonts, basically when you re-name your origional xbox files.

QUOTE

I want to MOD this to work as mensioned but I spend a few hours and cannot work it out??

I have some C# programing and script experience but it has not helped

The first thing the script does is check what state the files are in and displays if the fonts are "enabled" or "disabled"

QUOTE

SETFUNC Fontstatus FILESIZE c:fontsXbox.xft
SETFUNC Fontstatus1 FILESIZE c:fontsXbox.xtf

This code obviusly checks if the file "xbox.xft" is either in a hacked or normal state.

I thought I could simply change the code to: "c:fontsernie.xft" and it would work the same way. i.e. see if ernie is in the folder and therefore the hack is on!

But I got erros accross the board

I messed around with these 2 lines of code many times, but nothing seemed to work.
I even changed the "FILESIZE" to "FILEEXISTS" but it didnt work.

Anyone know what is wrong with this????

The only thing I could get the script to display was "The hack is disabled" even when I knew it was enabled?

Next up is the file movement/copy.
To DISABLE the hack what I really want is to rename xbox.bak and xbox book.bak to ".xtf" files and move bert.xtf and ernie.xtf to the E drive.

The curent code is:

QUOTE

Rename "c:\fonts\Xbox.xft" "c:\fonts\Xbox.xtf"
Rename "c:\fonts\Xbox Book.xft" "c:\fonts\Xbox Book.xtf"
BeginDraw UseCurrent
MessageBox " Font Hack Disabled "

I tried this:

QUOTE

Rename "c:\fonts\Xbox.bak" "c:\fonts\Xbox.xtf"
Rename "c:\fonts\Xbox Book.bak" "c:\fonts\Xbox Book.xtf"
Move "c:\fonts\bert.xtf" "e:\hack"
Move "c:\fonts\ernie.xtf" "e:\hack"
BeginDraw UseCurrent
MessageBox " Font Hack Disabled "

Will this work?

If anyone can help then

if not

I have had a look around the net, doesnt seem to be that many sites explaining this stuff? Any links would be cool too..

I don't think "Move" is a command, but "Copy" and then "Delete" together can do the same thing.

And check the actionscript reference pinned in this forum.

Edit: In mxm scripts, you have to double up backslashes if and only if they're inside quotes.

e.g. valid commands:

COPY C:\blah.txt C:\test
COPY "C:\\blah blah.txt" C:\test
COPY "C:\\blah blah.txt" "C:\\test"

Invalid commands:
COPY "C:\blah blah.txt" "C:\test"

So you only need to use quotes if the file/path name has a space in it. Then you need to double up backslashes

BTW, the board doesn't mess up backslashes anymore, so why do some of your paths have no backslashes?

I always wondered that myself. Are people manually deleting the slashes when the make a post or something?

How do you mean??

I havent removed any slashes, that code is taken direct from the Font Swapper script I got from allxboxskins?

I wonderd why there were no slashes here:

QUOTE

c:fontsXbox.xft

Maybe that was the problem all along? Oh god! I hope not??

Can anyone advise?

As for the double slashes, I never knew this... Thank you

I guess the original poster of the script didn't know about the backslashes, and this board (old version) messed them up, when it was put on AXS. Now you can just fix them though, like I explained earlier.

Oh man!

I cant belive it was that all along

SO!

Just to make sure this:

QUOTE

c:fontsXbox.xtf

Should be:

QUOTE

c:\fonts\Xbox.xtf

And this:

QUOTE

Rename "c:\fonts\Xbox.xtf" "c:\fonts\Xbox.xft"

Could be:

QUOTE

Rename "c:\\fonts\\Xbox.xtf" "c:\\fonts\\Xbox.xft"

QUOTE

Rename c:\fonts\Xbox.xtf c:\fonts\Xbox.xft

I will work on this tonite

Some other then the author(or maybe it was the author) probabaly copied and pasted it from the forums and then submitted it to AXS

just wanna say thankx

Seems to be working how I want now, althought I have decided NOT to move the font files to the E drive as they are 15mb and it would take a while to do this, so ive stuck tp RENAME..

cheers!

Add the bold section to your script so that the script doesnt terminate if you press an ndefined button:

:Start
BeginDraw UseCurrent
MessageBox "FontHack Status: %Fontstat% $eol$Press B to Cancel$eol$Press X To Turn OFF$eol$Press Y To Turn ON"
EndDraw

Input
If %_GP_B% == "1" GOTO Cancel
If %_GP_X% == "1" GOTO Swap
If %_GP_Y% == "1" GOTO Turnon
BeginDraw UseCurrent
MessageBox " Button not defined!!"
EndDraw
Delay 1
goto Start
Quit

:Cancel
BeginDraw UseCurrent
MessageBox " FontHack Status: %Fontstat% "
EndDraw
Delay 2
Quit
