Yankee Clipper3 & Ninotech Path Copy - my first plugins.

Check out the first scripts I developed. Please point out ways I can improve them.

Uhhh ... looks like I cannot post external links.

Looks like I cannot edit posts. Sorry, the PathCopy plugin in post #1 may not work in GENA. Try :

Hi gbrao,

I like both utilities

Yankee Clipper III:
for such utilties, you can use Script Creator Packed at Gena\Utils,
( http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=178.0 )


+just pack the files
(here i quickly packed to YCIII.7z http://www.mediafire.com/?8edqi38wnqwbjsb )
+on SC Packed script interface
+1) point YCIII.7z
+2) ProgramExe ---> YankClip.exe
+Fill Author box: G B Rao
+enable "Add Startup Option" (advice: do not use this option for utilities that do not have startup feature ;))
+Click "Goooo" button

On wb screen at "Gena\AppsMy\1Prepare" You will see new working script, make your final touches on script.... etc. etc....

Script Creator Packed will lead you quickly make a wide set of general scripts for such utilities which is most case 
Practice above tutorial, than I am expecting lots of scripts getting out of G B Rao pc coming soon

Here I personally made some addition work to get a quite nice Yankee Clipper III script ;).
YankeeClipper3.script

ps: mainly changed [extract],
instead of using YCIII.7z, YC3Setup.EXE used and to extract YC3Setup.EXE E_Wise_W.exe used.....

Ninotech Path Copy
Tip: Use RegCPE available at Gena\Utils (the lines you've used cause speed down .... etc...)
Important Tip: Make 2 changes in following line

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_Software\Classes\CLSID\{EECEEFEE-3DF7-11D0-9576-0000837A2FDE}\InprocServer32,,X:\I386\system32\PathCo32.dll

RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,Tmp_Software\Classes\CLSID\{EECEEFEE-3DF7-11D0-9576-0000837A2FDE}\InprocServer32,,#$pSystemRoot#$p\System32\PATHCO32.DLL

1: 0x1 to 0x2 will lead you use variables on regvalue,
Following my experience, InprocServer32 sub keys always accepts 0x1 to 0x2 changes 
2: using variables at value (%SystemRoot% , written with wb-escapes #$pSystemRoot#$p) rescue script from hardcoded path,
hence very compatible to any project. 

I made Ninotech Path Copy script compatible to different projects, also compatible to multiarchitecture (x86 & x64)
aside above tips, check script codes to practice.

I feel this is a good start for your improvments, See you around.

Thanks. I learned a lot.

Is there something like the DOS "set" command - I would like a list of all pre-defined variables ( eg %Target_Sys% ).

What is the difference between %Target_Sys% and #$pSystemRoot#$p\System32 ? Why is the second one used for the "Regwrite"s ?

What is the difference between %Target_Sys% and #$pSystemRoot#$p\System32 ? Why is the second one used for the "Regwrite"s ?

second one for application inside PE (Ex: Gena)
Giving example with "Ninotech Path Copy" , When you boot Gena, PATHCO32.DLL is at #$pSystemRoot#$p\System32

first one is for build ( file ) operations, %Target_Sys% is BLABLA\Target\Gena\I386\System32



ps:
similarly
%Target_Prog% --> the root program folder you copy files to
%PE_Programs% --> the root program folder for the application when you boot

In most cases they are used with %ProgramFolder%
%Target_Prog%\%ProgramFolder% --> the folder your application files copied to during build
%PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder% --> the location of folder of your application when PE boots (generally used for regwrite)

Is there something like the DOS "set" command - I would like a list of all pre-defined variables ( eg %Target_Sys% ).

No these is no DOS set command
(no such, similar command at all)
tutorialing listing all* pre-defined variables would be hard for a starter, the ones you will require are at
* when you save log, you will notice a green playgrounded "Variables" list
* at script.project [Variables]

The ones you will mostly use are:
%Target_Prog%
%PE_Programs%
%Target_Sys%
%SourceArch%
%Tools%
%ProjectTemp%
%GlobalTemplates%

for regwriting %RegSystem% %RegSoftware% %RegDefault% are predefined to load hives
(RegCPE use these values)

%Tools% & %ProjectTemp% & %GlobalTemplates% check here http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=118.0

%SourceArch% => Source Architecture, mostly used: x64 - x86 - IA64
check NinotechPathCopy.script i provided above




above are the ones used (and %95 enough) on nearly all \Apps\ scripts, follow them to see examples
(also follow SC Packed created scripts which will create you easy to follow scripts)
if / when you stuck on writing codes after you make a set of trials, just ask around
