How do we go about applying for a 'Private Key' file for when the DSSignFile utility is released? I have written to Paul Stratham (he's Placebo is he not? - 'and has left the building') as per the Contacts page. --Sy 06:15, 12 June 2007 (CEST)

You will just generate a new private key. It'll start out as being untrusted until people add your public key to their key directories. --Salisan 13:20, 12 June 2007 (CEST)

Ah, yes well now that I think about it that is entirely logical, lol. --Sy 16:16, 12 June 2007 (CEST)


I cannot sign most NWD addons. I don't get the problem why it does not work here. Many other pbos work fine. Any ideas guys? Does it work for you?

These do NOT work for example

  • nwd_4xbinoculars.pbo
  • nwd_8xgtldii.pbo
  • nwd_scopefix.pbo (20MB)

That the only one the works here:

  • nwd_ak74_pso1.pbo

Its not the file size. Any other requirements the PBO has to meet? DSSignFile didn't show an error message or so. --PROPER Q 00:46, 12 January 2008 (CET)

Maybe it has to be packed with the correct tools? It could be that some tools do something "wrong"... --raedor 10:50, 12 January 2008 (CET)
That was it. Those pbos were generated with OFP tools most likely. A repack with cpbo and it works! Excellent idea raedor :) --PROPER Q 11:00, 12 January 2008 (CET)

The only pre-requisite I have found is that the pbo's header is well formed. I'd say that the one's you are having trouble with were created with a previous community tool. And, when created the author probably forgot to place a $PBOPREFIX$ file in the folder with the appropriate text inside. So, either re-pbo the extracted version with a community tool and include an appropriate $PBOPREFIX$ file OR re-pbo with BIS's BinPBO tool... -- Sy 02:28, 14 January 2008 (CET)
