Scripting Language

Simple

• BeginBlock("archive") - Unpacks an archive to a temporary location. This should be used before modifying files inside archives.
• Rename("old"|"new") - Renames a file.
• RenameByExtension("location"|"old"|"new") - Renames all files with the specified extension to the new extension (must specify a directory, rather than a file).
• Delete("location") - Deletes a file or folder.¹
• Copy("location"|"new"|overwrite) - Copies a file to a new location, with an overwrite function.
• EndBlock("archive") - Repacks an archive from the temporary location created by BeginBlock().

Advanced

• DecryptExecutable() - Decrypts the game's XEX/EBOOT (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 executable respectively).
• EncryptExecutable() - Encrypts the game's XEX/EBOOT (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 executable respectively).
• WriteByte("file"|offset|byte) - Writes a byte to the specified offset in the file.
• WriteBytes("file"|offset|"bytes") - Writes a byte array to the specified offset in the file.²³
• WriteVirtualBytes(offset|"bytes") - Writes a byte array to the relative virtual address in the executable.²
• WriteNullBytes("file"|offset|count) - Writes null bytes to the specified offset in the file.
• WriteBase64("file"|"data") - Writes Base64 data to a binary file.
• WriteNopPPC("file"|offset|count) - Writes a NOP value to the specified offset at the file path.³⁴
• WriteVirtualNop(offset|count) - Writes a NOP value to the relative virtual address in the executable.⁴
• WriteTextBytes("file"|offset|"text") - Writes ASCII text in bytes to the specified offset in the file.
• ParameterAdd("file"|"parameter"|"value") - Adds a Lua parameter.¹
• ParameterEdit("file"|"parameter"|"value") - Edits a Lua parameter.¹
• ParameterRename("file"|"old"|"new") - Renames a Lua parameter.¹
• ParameterErase("file"|"parameter") - Removes all instances of a parameter from a Lua file.¹
• PackageAdd("file"|"type"|"friendlyName"|"filePath") - Adds a PKG event.¹
• PackageEdit("file"|"type"|"friendlyName"|"filePath") - Edits a PKG event.¹
• PackageErase("file"|"type"|"friendlyName") - Removes all instances of a parameter from a PKG file.¹
• TextAdd("file"|"name"|"placeholder"|"text") - Adds an MST entry.¹
• TextEdit("file"|"name"|"placeholder"|"text") - Edits an MST entry.¹
• StringReplace("file"|"old"|"new") - Replaces a string.¹

1. works recursively (if no file name is specified and the path exists, it will process the function for every file in the directory).
2. array is accepted with or without spaces.
3. deprecated for writing to the executable - use the virtual versions of the functions instead.
4. count is optional.
