Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Its basically this panel that opens and I want to remove all the text above Info

@dim fern

[dim fern]

Isn't this Python code? Why do you need to edit an exe?

[misty ice]

Because I want to remove certain text in the exe

I dont know anything

[dim fern]

Do you know how to write python code?

[misty ice]

No

i just want to remove all of this

[dim fern]

You're trying to do something 'hard' before learning the basics then. I can't help you if you haven't learned the basics

[misty ice]

i watched vids and they all said to use hex editor and search for text but it doesnt recognize anything

[dim fern]

Hex editors -sometimes- are useful, but not always. And probably not in this case

[misty ice]

Well i heard its not hard at all people told me its just finding the code and removing it

I have no clue myself thats why

Erm, Carbonbot is a cheat tool for Rocket League.
I mean, what you're asking about is editing the tool itself, but still.

[misty ice]

Its not for cheating its RLBot which is allowed by offical rocket league to program bots to test

[dim fern]

There's a few reasons you probably won't get help here. You're removing the title from someone else's software, that's not cool. And, youre trying to do this without learning the basics or how this thing is built... there's a lot you should learn first

[misty ice]

Its my friends programmed bot he wants to publish to RLBot

[dim fern]

If he programmed it, he can remove the title

[misty ice]

We bourght it

We dont know how to code at all

Thats why im asking if we can get help editing text

[dim fern]

Removing the title from someone else's software isn't really a good thing. But anyway: to edit it, you'll have to figure out how to unpackage pyinstaller code, then edit the Python code, then package it again

[drowsy wind]

From RLBot FAQ for my own edification:

The RLBot framework cannot be used online. The API is only activated when the game is started with a special RLBot setting which disables online play. You can be banned without warning if we suspect that you have malicious intent (farming, levelling, etc.). We want to stay on Psyonix's good side here.

Alright. This still falls into a weird spot where you're trying to edit someone else's tool that you paid to access.
Not really sure why you need to do that anyway. It's just some startup banner.

[misty ice]

its for offline testing why would i ban myself anyways and when we purchased the files he sold us to the title for it doesnt exist anymore and its ours thats why

[lilac sapphire]

purchased? it says its free and if you purchased it you got scammed

[drowsy wind]

I assume it's this one:
https://carbonbot.live/
There's a paid version

[misty ice]

yeah

i payed the owner for full access for the files considering he only sells it for ppl who want to publically edit which is myself

[dim fern]

That seems very unlikely.

[drowsy wind]

If the owner of the bot gave you full access to their files, then you have the source code and can compile it yourself?

[misty ice]

Yes but i dont know how

He sent me all the stuff saying I can edit the bot how I want but idk how

[lilac sapphire]

maybe stop lying?

[dim fern]

I'm going to make an executive decision here and say: What you want to do is not cool, and likely violates Rule 5. You're removing the header/identifier of some purchased software. We have no way of verifying that the owner said that's OK... but in nearly every other case of purchased software, the license agreement will say "not to do this".

!rule 5

[dreamy veldt]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[misty ice]

🤓 if u want photos i can add u to the gc the owner sells this so ppl can contribute to the bot

yall r no help

[drowsy wind]

I'll just say in closing if you do have the source files, your issue is not "how to change text in an exe", it's learning how to compile this program. And then figuring out how to change things.

[misty ice]

yeh all he told me was to find the sections edit them and recompile

[drowsy wind]

Maybe just go back to said owner and ask for help

[misty ice]

He wont help unless i pay him more ;//

[drowsy wind]

Then that's a scam

[dim fern]

So, you're not going to get help here.. but if you listen, I can explain why:

[misty ice]

ik i payed for these files tht i dont know how to use

[lilac sapphire]

do you actually have any files besides the executable

[misty ice]

yeah i got a full folder of stuff

[dim fern]

• You said you have a .exe, not "source files". The exe is (I think) a pyinstaller exe, therefore you don't have the files that need to be "recompiled"

[dreamy veldt]

:warning: The owner of this post is no longer in the server.

[lilac sapphire]

the source code, atleast in the free version, is also very interesting

sdjkfhs89fsfds = 'C:\\ProgramData\\KeyAuth'
if os.path.exists(sdjkfhs89fsfds):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(sdjkfhs89fsfds, topdown=False):
        for name in files:
            os.remove(os.path.join(root, name))
        for name in dirs:
            os.rmdir(os.path.join(root, name))
    os.rmdir(sdjkfhs89fsfds)

running random executables from the internet is truly a good idea

[dim fern]

Huh

Well, they're gone...
