Filter Factory - Modify your filter

Self Modification when "Building" a filter

The file FFactory.8bf gets copied and the resources PIPL and PARM gets modified.

Here are some things you can modify (offsets are only valid for FilterFactory 3.0.4 for Photoshop/Win32):

From	To	Size	Resource	Res. Offset	Description
0x0AEA	0x0AEE	0x4	(.text)	-	Max range of the controls ctl0 .. ctl7 (FF 00 00 00)
					ATTENTION: Behavior is unexpected if the value gets
					larger than 0xFF (?)
0x0AEF	0x0AEF	0x1	(.text)	-	Min range of the controls ctl0 .. ctl7 (00)
					ATTENTION: You also need to modify 0x5E1C and up (see below)
					otherwise the initial position of the sliders and the
					internal memory (ctl(0) without moving the sliders) will be 0.
					ATTENTION: The maximal value can be 127 (0x7F),
					otherwise you need to extend the ASM code size (by 3).
					TODO: how to get values > 0x7F ?

PluginCommander Pro

The product PluginCommander Pro can apply the following additional modifications to FilterFactory 3.0 and 3.0.4:

AllModes: The plugin will work in three color modes

This will modify the PIPL attribute 'mode' ("MIB8edom")
4D 49 42 38 65 64 6F 6D 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 10 00 00 00
=> 4D 49 42 38 65 64 6F 6D 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00
Big preview: Bigger preview image in the plugin dialog

This will change dialog 101 (old/new), dialog 102 (old/new) and dialog 105 (old/new)
Mega preview: Even much bigger preview image in the plugin dialog

This will change dialog 101 (old/new), dialog 102 (old/new) and dialog 105 (old/new)
Demo plugin: Deactives the "OK" button and adds a protection that prevents the plugin to be converted using PluginCommander
It it not true that the plugin becomes undecompilable !

This will:
1. Change the plugin name string "Filter Factory" to "DemoPlugin"
    In FilterFactory 3.0.4: PTR DS:[1C007020h] , File offset 5220h
    In FilterFactory 3.0 : File offset 6E30h
    => This change will prevent PluginCommander from Converting this plugin again (e.g. to remove the demo-constraints).
    => However, other plugins like FilterFoundry can read the RGBA formulas, since they are not obfuscated.
2. Add " Demo..." at the end of the PIPL resource 'name' ("MIB8eman")
3. Change PARM resource offset 0168h (Title): Appending " Demo..." at the end of the title string
4. Disable OK Button in dialog 105 (old/new):
   01 00 FF FF 80 00 4F 00 4B 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
=> 00 00 FF FF 80 00 4F 00 4B 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
EditorPlugin: Shows the code instead of the plugin dialog

This will make sure that PARM offset 0004h stays 00 00 00 00 ("main executable"); usually it becomes 01 00 00 00 for standalone filters.
No dialog

This will make sure that PARM offset 0028h changes from 01 (show preview dialog) to 00 (hide preview dialog)
