What would you think about an automated hacking tool? What I think about is a tool that has a standardized interface so everyone can write hacks for. The tool then offers you (user) to do a complete automated install of the hack (as long as it can write to all files) or if the user wants to have the control or the script is not sure if everything is correct there is an manual install option...

There also could be a version control and an option to remove hacks... it would be a complex script but I think it would make hacking much easier (for both: users don't have to edit the files (and they don't have problems updating the board - the tool just applys every hack again) and the hackers could have wizzards where they just have to insert what text has to be replaced and so on).

What do you think? If there is interest I will try to create something like this...

i think it would be impossible to complete this project

every hacker have his(her) own way of dealing with the code. the best way is to learn PHP.

Not everyone can/wants to learn PHP

Of course everyone writes different hacks - but every hack does one or more of the same things - editing files, uploading new files, editing templates, adding new templates and editing the database...

HAHAHA..... sorry about that but its funny... to do that you would have to make a open directory editing tool, so you could edit your scripts.. and uploaders.. and then a template uploader like in the vb upgrade scripts... so it could be done.... but then again what would be the point of it... you could just use FTP and the reg for template uploads.... I thought about makign something like this..... it would take so long to make what you are thinking about.... by that time VB# would be out and you would have to reedit it for VB3... sure I would like something like that... if you can make it before it comes out then go for it.... but I suggest the good old method.............coffee and FTP

Well... if you dont't want that you don't get it - it was just an idea

Wasn't someone already making something like this?

Someone made a similiar tool for UBB and decided to create a VB version which was in beta last I heard.

The only thing I know is the one Tubedogg (I think he was it) made... but this is not really automated...

And there is an application somewhere I think (I have seen something like this before but don't ask me where it was) but what I want is to have a php script...

I would be interested in trying it. I don't know know PHP but would be interested in it.

Well... Have fun I would like to see what you come up with.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
