sublime-text-4-patcher

Python 3 patcher for Sublime Text v4107-4180 Windows x64

Credits for patching logic goes to https://github.com/leogx9r

  • Uses signatures instead of hardcoded offsets
  • Automatic version detection for stable/dev channels
  • No host blocking needed
  • Enter any text as license
  • Disables crash report telemetry
  • Disables phoning home
  • Minimal dependencies
  • Single Python file for convenience

Requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

or just

pip3 install pefile

It's just for pefile which is indirectly used for version detection.

Usage

You only need sublime_text_4_patcher.py from this repository (and the aforementioned requirements).

IMPORTANT: Remember to enter any text as the license key after patching! For stable versions, you can accomplish this by going to Help > Enter License.

Input Prompt Mode

python3 sublime_text_4_patcher.py

You will then be prompted in the console to enter the file path to sublime_text.exe.

Command-Line Mode

python3 sublime_text_4_patcher.py <path_to_sublime_text.exe>

Test Mode

python3 sublime_text_4_patcher.py -t <directory_with_sublime_text_build_*_x64.zips>

The script will extract sublime_text.exe from each ZIP file into its own folder and try to patch it. Results are collated and logged to console.
