AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A FIX, BUT AN EXPLANATION FOR LAMERS WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC BEHING THE SUPPOSEDLY WORKING MIRC SCRIPT FIX.

this method doesn't work at all, or anymore at least.
here is the fixed script if you are wondering.
no line errors and support for dir paths with spaces in them.

(tested and it does what it was created to do - replace all dates of year 2005 with year 2008.)

Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
alias patchblob {
  .blob 307
  .blob 536
  .blob 693
  .blob 904
  .blob 1720
  .blob 31125
  .blob 31708
}
alias blob /bwrite "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob" $1 4 2008
alias activateblob /timer 0 1 /patchblob


EXPLANATION FOR LAMERS:
* patchblob goes through a loop, making making character positions (536... 1720... etc) in the .blob file EQUAL TO a variable "$1".
* each time "$1" is assigned a value (307 being the fist and 31708 being the last in the loop) it temporarily leaves the loop to the writing portion (/bwrite) where it finds the character number in the file ($1) - checks how long the string is (string= a series of characters) in this case it's "4" - and replaces it with "2008".
* when you want to run it - you simply type "/activateblob" - where it calls the function patchblob from the beginning of the script using a "/timer" on it to run "0" times (which is infinite) in intervals of "1" second.
-- i changed the timer from 0 to 1 second intervals because it eats up a LOT of cpu. maybe someone will test it at 0 seconds and get it working :)

and now, an ad for public awareness...Image

for those who don't know how to work it...

1) you need mirc. so get it at:
mirc616.exe
2) press ALT+R to bring up script window to paste the code into and press OK.
3) type the following in the non-closable mirc console to start it up:
/activateblob

i input the code. usually once i open steam i get a thousand of error messages show up in mirc. but this time this is what happend. i did /activateblob and got the timer 1. then i opened steam and only got 2 msg's and for the first time i got this steam error (attached is the error picture)

mirc window:
Quote:
* Timer 1 activated
-
* /bwrite: unable to open 'F:\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob' (line 10, script.ini)
-
* /bwrite: unable to open 'F:\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob' (line 10, script.ini)
-


after i got the steam error... steam closed.

whatz up with that ?

you get that when there is no .blob file in the folder you're pointing to, or if the file is in use.
start up steam first and login with "remember my password" -> then you can start the script. otherwise the script works without a flaw.

if i do
start up steam first and login with "remember my password" -> then you can start the script.

The reason why this does't work is because the 2005 is not always located at those offsets. They can be at any offset. That script is stupid. All it will do is corrupt the blob file and make the steamengine crash.

In stead of "/bwrite" do "/write"
Dat should do the trick :) .
