This file explains how to compress the VKeyboard script with ESC
(EcmaScript Cruncher, http://www.saltstorm.net/depo/esc/) if you've
made changes to the original script and want to compress (and obfuscate) it.
The following procedure applies to full script (vkboard.js) and popup
variant of the script (vkboardp.js). For other two variants, steps 2, 6-9 and 12
should be omitted.
1. In the archive with the ESC.wsf you'll find the 'bless.map.dynapi' file.
Copy it to the same directory where ESC.wsf is; rename it to 'bless.map'
and append the following lines to the end of the file:
SetParameters
Show
ShowNumpad
If you wish to use compressed script with the translator setup
(see '3-edit-translator.html'), then you must additionally append
this line:
_refresh_layout
2. Cut legal (disclaimer) part, and save it to another file (e.g. 'legal.txt').
3. Cut language arrays, starting from comment:
// Us International:
finishing with the last ']', and save them to another file (e.g. 'lang.js').
4. Compress 'lang.js' to 'langc.js' with level of compression of 3:
cscript ESC.wsf -l 3 -ow langc.js lang.js
(level of compression must be 3, not 4! You must keep the array names untouched,
but 4th level of compression involves variable substitution that you don't need here).
5. Compress 'vkboard.js' to 'vkboardc.js' with level of compression of 4:
cscript ESC.wsf -l 4 -ow vkboardc.js vkboard.js
6. Look at the very last member-array of VKeyboard prototype (in original 'vkboardc.js' it is '$29').
Search up the whole script for 'avail_langs', and replace it with the name of that last member
(you'll meet 5 occurences).
7. Restore the language arrays: place 'langc.js' contents between the last '}' and the comma preceeding it.
8. Restore the disclaimer (from 'legal.txt') at the start of the script.
Don't forget to mention changes you've made and the tool you've used for compression.
