  1. /********** QuidProNo, written by J. Random Hacker at MacHack on 6/21/96
  2.  
  3.     A friend of mine, who couldn't make it to MacHack, and whose name I've mysteriously
  4.     forgotten actually sent me this hack and requested that I submit it for him.
  5.  
  6.     This extension simply installs global patch(es) to _Get1Resource and/or _GetResource
  7.     that redirects (re-types and/or re-numbers) a resource request to something else,
  8.     and then jumps to the pre-existing trap code.
  9.  
  10.     You can modify and add 'RSub' or 'RSb1' resources in the "redirect.rsrc" resource file
  11.     (or the compiled extension) to customize this for your own needs.  The
  12.     default behavior is to redirect 'inpr' 300 to 'inpr' 299.
  13.     Note: 'RSub' resources define patches to _GetResource, 'RSb1' hacks _Get1Resource
  14.     The format of these resources is 12 bytes: (ResEdit templates also in "redirect.rsrc")
  15.         4 bytes  <original ResType>
  16.         2 bytes  <original ResID>
  17.         4 bytes  <substituted ResType>
  18.         2 bytes  <substituted ResID>
  19.  
  20.     Example of use:
  21.  
  22.     1) Swap icon family resources -3993 and -3984 to make the trash appear empty when
  23.     full and vice versa.  Drop in the "trash confusion.rsrc" file and recompile to see
  24.     what this is all about.
  25.  
  26.     2) Redirect 'CURS' 6500 thru 6506 to map from 6506 down to 6500 to make the Finder's
  27.     watch spin backwards.  (Q: Why not modify the 'ACUR'? A: You'd have to create a
  28.     modified Finder.)
  29.  
  30.     3) Reverse (as in example 2 above) 'PICT' 11000 thru 11003 to make Finder progress bars
  31.     go backwards.
  32.  
  33.     4) Make applications unable to find resources by redirecting them to nonexistent ones.
  34.     A specific example, redirect 'inpr' 300 to 'inpr' 299 to make certain applications
  35.     unable to find boilerplate splash screen data.  This is the true "QuidProNo!"
  36.  
  37.     Warnings:
  38.  
  39.     1) This code may affect stuff other than what you intend - the patches are global,
  40.     so any program that uses redirected resource IDs will be affected.
  41.  
  42.     2) Don't run ResEdit while this (or derivatives of this) extension is loaded.  You
  43.     WILL become confused because you may be editing the wrong resources.
  44.  
  45.     Notes:
  46.  
  47.     1) If somebody objects to using this to disable legaleze, there's a solution provided
  48.     here: a legal boilerplate startup screen which you can drop into your system folder.
  49.  
  50.     2) You may have to define patch data for either or both Get1Resource and/or GetResource,
  51.     depending on how the software you're trying to mess with actually works.  If you
  52.     want to only apply the patches to certain processes, go ahead and change the source
  53.     code below... if it's a redirected patch, do additional checks before redirecting...
  54.  
  55.     3) In order to avoid undoing higher layer redirection when "swapping" things,
  56.     successful redirections jump to the same original trap code location.  (Unsuccessful
  57.     redirections (misses) keep following the patch chain.
  58.  
  59.     4) The patches are not fat.  This is left as an excercise to the hacker.  However,
  60.     be aware that some PPC code may not be affected (?) by 68K patches.
  61.  
  62.     5) You can create and load multiple flavors of QuidProNo!-based extensions, and each
  63.     extension can define multiple patches to Get1Resource and/or GetResource.
  64.  
  65.     6) If you install many redirections, you are installing many patches upon patches.
  66.     In pathelogical cases, performance may suffer, although _GetResource and _Get1Resource
  67.     probably aren't all that fast themselves.
  68.  
  69.     7) The code is based on some example skeleton in the CodeWarrior folder.
  70.  
  71.     8) Thanks to the T. Ç. and the Olive Gardeners for the perfect name.
  72.  
  73.     9)
  74.  
  75.     10)
  76.  
  77.     11) This hack goes to eleven.
