Sorry about that tool

Hi all.

Im not at the tone of my original text (as this is the 7th time ive had to retype this post. as it kept glitching upon posting)

anyways.

The tool was a compiled batchfile. (Prevents people claiming it and gives it a more professional look).

And i scanned it with kaspersky and tested it. No problems there. and then i gave it to 2 betatesters. They scanned it and used it and gave it the thumbs up.

So i released it. And Kuchcik got the virus warning. (told me on xfire).

I started looking into the compiler and compiled batch files.

I found out after looking that people can get false warnings with compiled batchfiles. (not sure on a dropper one though).

And i then compiled a random batchfile (a server starter) and uploaded it to jotti.
(ty Kuchcik for that link). And the same warnings on 3 of the scanners.

The compiler in question was: Bat_To_Exe_Converter made by faith kodak.


So to all dont use that one if you find it. The mapcorruptionchecker was written in C and compiled on bloodshed DEV C++. So that wasnt affected. (and ive uploaded that to jotti too now).

Sorry if it scared you lot. i would have been if that had happened to me.

Ive removed it form my forum. ALL of my dx tools will be written in C/C++ from now on! :).

Ill be rewriting it in C. and upload it to jotti. ty Kuchcik for the link to jotti :)

Ive reregistered as my other account was glitched so i couldnt post.

(no i didnt rereg to evade ban. i was already unbanned :P)
I also had admin permission :)


Edit by Icho: the other acc from him is not usable

Anyway, lets just hope that anything like this won't happen again.

Rome was not built in one day...

row row row the boat,
gently down the stream,
merrily merrily life is but a dream...

The rules of success are very simple, clans and players would not destroy themselves if they remembered these simple and very easy rules to follow.

Here's a tip, ignore gossip, dont rush your maps (lol), dont rush so fast to impress, it's going to take you time.
