The Linux patch is not working for me in Kali and Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong? I copied the script and ran with sudo. It shows sublime_text: OK but the program is not patched. Still shows UNRREGISTERED.

@bithack3r For windows 11, I use the following (the old way):

ST 4166: echo 000A0D9C: 48 31 C0 C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 0000647C: 90 90 90 90 90 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 00006495: 90 90 90 90 90 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 000A2BC0: 48 31 C0 48 FF C0 C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 000A0963: C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 00000400: C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe

ST 4168: echo 000A0EBC: 48 31 C0 C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 0000647C: 90 90 90 90 90 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 00006495: 90 90 90 90 90 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 000A2C74: 48 31 C0 48 FF C0 C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 000A0A83: C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe echo 00000400: C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe

I get following error

PS C:\Program Files\Sublime Text> echo 000A0EBC: 48 31 C0 C3 | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe
xxd: The term 'xxd' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Suggestion [3,General]: The command "xxd" was not found, but does exist in the current location.
PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default (see ''Get-Help about_Command_Precedence'').

If you trust this command, run the following command instead:

I don't understand... you successfully run the script in windows 10... but you have problem for windows 11?

So for Windows/Linux x64, I have created a Sublime Text 4 plugin which can patch itself.
Tested working on Sublime Text latest stable/dev build: 4168/4169

That's correct. Same script runs fine on Win10 and patches, but doesn't do anything on Win11.

Can you open source this? Because the PYD file I assume is the python compiled file with the actual magic in it. this should be able to work on all versions I assume?

You can make it run on all platforms. But you hide some code in a PYD file, so it can only run in Windows.

Technically the real issue I encountered is that Sublime Merge's patch on Linux x64 is not stable. It's sort of randomly patched to 0/1/281. Most likely 281 but sometimes it requires 0/1.

Just make it works on Linux x64 too. I think patch patterns for Linux x64 are stable since I've used them for months.

As for arm64 or mac-x64, unfortunately I don't have condition for testing them.

I wonder whether I should open source it since there seems to be no one open sourcing a fully automatic patcher here. I know there is a Python patcher skeleton you provided but people has to figure out what they should put in there.

Yes, for all Sublime Text 4 (likely future) releases.

@bithack3r If you read the error message again, you will see the suggestion: use .\xxd.exe instead of xxd Because Win11 uses PowerShell instead of cmd.exe, and PowerShell doesn't use programs in the current folder by default.

I'm sorry but I don't follow what you're saying. Is there a difference in the script? or do I move xxd file to somewhere else?
