XF 2.0 How to generate Hashes file on Windows?

[Deleted member 745]

Hi,

How do you generate the hashes.json file please, if I try adding/editing my old file due to editing the code slightly it keeps saying this - "To prevent potential issues, please resolve the following warnings before continuing"

"src/addons/xPoster/addon.json": "[hash code here]",

For this file, how would I generate the hash, copy the code to a MD5 converter or am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

I'm a little confused as to what you're trying to accomplish here. Did you corrupt the original file and need to fix it? Or are you trying to edit it directly for some reason instead of using the XF method for whatever you're trying to accomplish?

Don't know how to generate it, using the XF method.

Are you trying to generate it for a XF2 addon? If so the build command generates that file automatically.

Just what I was looking for thanks.

It's 4:40am here so I'm a little tired.

His problem may be solved, but the question isn't actually answered. Can someone tell me what algorithm is used to generate the hash? I don't have the original development files nor do I want to use the development tools, I just want to make a small edit and not get the integrity error.

Simply open the hash file and remove the line containing what f
file you edited.

Is that all it takes, well then thank you sir! I guess that makes sense but I wasn't sure if that produced another kind of error. But again, still want to know what algorithm, so I can generate the correct one if possible.

It's an MD5 of the file contents with any \r characters stripped.

Hmm. I tried md5 but this seemed much longer.i didn't strip any return lines though.

You're right, I was looking at the wrong thing. Looks to be sha256 with \r characters stripped.

Awarded full points, too bad I can't mark you response as the solution.

Regenerated hashes with sha256, nothing special. Used this tool: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openhashtool/
