paratrupr Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hey raptor, I'm working on slipstreaming the feb release and need to customize the DB using a non-XP machine. In the Jan release you had a sweet database editor for the .apdb file. I see now you've switched to a .db format. Did you leave the editor out of this release, or do you not have one? Can't wait to get to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykeed Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I posted in the DL forum but I also wanted to post here.. Ok Guys.. I'm so sorry, the correct path to get the file from my server is www.jaguar1.usouthal.edu/patches/files/AutoPatcherXP_Feb_Patched.zip I ziped it up but didn't make it an exe like I had in the previous link. Once again I am sorry for any problems this might of caused. If you still have the old file.. if you just change the extention to .zip from .exe it should all work fine. I have already PM'd fish with the correct link. Once again I'm sorry for the mix up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaladis Veteran Posted March 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2004 dont worry sykeed, all good now (Y) and all the downloads can be easily fixed with a simple renaming :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livesoca Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Heya Guys, Quick question. I just unpacked APXP Feb, downloaded the Feb updates, and placed them in the respective places overwriting the previous files. FINE. Is there a way that I can close back up everything and make it back to a .exe file like what APXP originally came in? Thanks, LIVESOCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaladis Veteran Posted March 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2004 you'll need an archiver for that... for instance 7zip... compress it and then use the "make exe" option of your archiver... all archivers have such feature... /Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livesoca Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 TY for the screenshot.. :D Gonna give 7Zip a shot. Can 7Zip be used for the exact same compression extensions like WinRar? LIVESOCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livesoca Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) For those who might want to do the same stuff I did (Install the Feb update into the Feb release and create a new .exe), I'll tell you the final results for compression between WinRar and 7-Zip. WinRar was set to maximum compression and 7-Zip was set to ultra. Final Output for 7-Zip = 241 MB Final Output for WinRar = 249 MB *** Please note both apps did the same job, but WinRar did it in half the time of 7-Zip *** Sorry, I didn't clock it (time). I assume everyone will get different results. Tested on a laptop AMD XP-M 2500+ 512kb cache (Barton Core) @ 1866Mhz (not overclocked) and set to High Performance Mode 512MB DDR Ram Edited March 10, 2004 by livesoca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
