Can Programmers Create an EA from ex4 Files?


Hello. Is this possible?

Many thanks.

 

What do you mean?

Creating an EA based on indicator with only .ex4 is possible.

  1. If it's a indicator, of course. Just get the value(s) of the indicator(s) into the EA (using iCustom) and do what you want with it.
    You should encapsulate your iCustom calls to make your code self-documenting.

  2. There has been zero proof that any ex4/5 can be decompiled since Build 600+ 2014.02.03

  3. Ask the owner of the source code to give it to you or have him fix it for you.

    De-compiled code is stolen code. Either you are a thief, a fence, or the receiver of stolen (intellectual) property. Either way we will not be an accomplice after the fact to that theft.

    If you post decompiled code again, you will likely be banned.

    Don't tell us you found it on the 'net: if someone stole your bank details and uploaded them on to the internet, is it OK for everyone to use them because "someone uploaded it, I don't know why I can't use that"?

No, no decompiling - I would never ask anyone to do that and I'm not sure it's possible anyway? Thanks for the feedback.
