You could be interested how fun patching with fasm could be.

I wrote patching macros, and decided to rewrite my old MoonEdit patch using them.

In past I did the patch by hands, it was tedious and resulting code was a mess. And now, with rewriting I also added a few nice features.

MoonEdit is interesting collaborative real-time text editor which isn't updated since 2005.

My patch adds following features:
- Russian language (in place of Polish though)
- Correct key press handling
- Flashing taskbar button on activity
- "speak" command =)

My topic at MoonEdit forum
Patched MoonEdit and patch source

So, tell me what you think!

I always wanted to learn how to patch other's programs with closed sources. Adding new possibilities to abandoned but useful programs is a cool idea.

Update:
- Fixed "font 9" bug
- Somewhat cleaned up code
- Speak buffer extended to 1536 bytes
- Keep-alive packet now sent less often
- "config file.cfg" now searches in ME directory
- As patch is too big for empty space in sections, new section is added. One downside is that you can't fiddle with resource section now.
- New command: flash! Allows to set window flashing via "flash 0" or "flash 1".

Anyone wants to help in patching? Or testing?

Moderators, please move this topic to "Projects and Ideas". Thanks.

Done, but upload the code on this thread from now on.

Ok. If someone wanted only to look at the patch realization, he can do this now =)
