[Halo 2] Serenity Auto-Patcher for V3.2

This program uses Serenity 3.1's call command to patch maps.

When the maps are done patching it will ask you if you want to resign the maps or not, if you used original maps and the patch was created correctly then there should be no need to resign the map as long as the patch was made correctly.

Credits:
Iron_Forge for making Serenity 3.1 have a call command.
The Flying Dutchmen for showing me how to call Serenity in a .bat file.

finally... thank you so much.. its working proper

EDIT: use these registerkeys (extra.rar) before and after patching, since the app will use the mainmenu function also. and if you don't have the mainmenu in there, it'll give you a massive error ive just tested

I don't see the need for your application to resign the maps, as Serenity recalculates the checksum and fixes it before it makes the patch, meaning whenever you apply a patch, it will not have to be resigned.

On a side note...Cool. I'm sure many people can use this.

Wow great job. This will help very much with patching many maps. It will also help with people making map packs.

meh tell me why do i have to resign the patched map after patching with the .bat file, in order to make it load?
and also with one of his earlier versions that didnt auto resign, i got failed to load messages.

hmm let me think because the patches werent made correctly DUH you should always fix map encryption before making a patch it just makes it easier on everyone dont trust the patch program to fix it for you

i dont have to do anything for everyone. besides everytime i patch i'm not too lazy to resign the map afterwards.. i just do that since i'm sure then the map is signed .. patches werent made correctly because the map encryption wasnt fixed ?

you go like that

This will come in handy. Sweet app man. 10/10.

Aequitas i know i never specified serenity cause The Flying Dutchmen was talking about applying a patch and he transfers it and it doesnt work.

and Dutchmen what is a patch made from? the final map and the original map. ok, so what is a final map? a map that when you transfer over should work. which means that the map would be resigned. you would only get a failed to load map if the patch wasnt made on a final map using a patch other than serenity if you have that problem with serenity you original wasnt fresh

Uploaded as an attachment. Added option to resign the maps or not (only needed to resign if the patch wasnt correctly made or you didnt use an original map.)
