First of all, I have to say I consider this a public beta release, so be warned that I can't be held responsible if it screws up your system, sets your house on fire or something
but I need some people to try it out
So whats it all about? Its really not much, but I wrote some NT scripts to aid in resource-hacking system files. Some of you may know the problem: A new, great replacement package is released, but, you have
version of WinXP and therefore can't use it, or just some, without more or less extensively res-hacking yourself. So, here's a solution which might save you a good amount of time:
BATCHMOD
Be sure to read the included readme.
The scripts make heavy use of Resource Hacker's and Replacer's capabilities, so you need to get them aswell if you do not already have them (download links are also in the readme).
Let me know if it works for you.

Hi!
One question: could you change your batch file that not the resources of the modded files will be saved (icons, avis, cursors) but the resources of the original files (the language resources)?
I think this will be the better way to translate a mod pack because if you just add the modded graphic resources to your original files the result is not accurate.
Hope you understand my problem...
Thank you in advance

I've just translated all my sysfiles into Polish (Y)
Works good.
One thing: before doing all of this make sure that the folder windows\system32\dllcache is empty. If not it may cause errors.

It's not necessary, replacer handles it.

Nope it doesn't. I got error with shdsomething.dll and the script aborted. I found this goddamn file in dllcache folder, deleted it and the script went good.
