Buildbot now automatically creates xDelta patches

Dear citizens of Monopolis,

Over last few days i have been searching for ways to automate the Xpert2 ISO dumping and rebuilding process.
This was the only thing i couldn't automate using a CLI, since Xpert2 only supports a GUI.
I asked around a few Discord servers and it doesn't seem like there currently exists a tool that lets you use a command line to dump and rebuild a PS2 ISO.
So, yesterday i found this neat little tool:

https://github.com/npocmaka/batch.scripts/blob/master/hybrids/.net/c/mouse.bat

With this i was able to add mouse movement & clicks to my batch file (which does all of the compiling and stuff).
After a bit of testing everything seems to work flawlessly - After the files are compiled (using quickBMS and abcde) Xpert2 is automatically started and the script interacts with the GUI.
The Buildbot xDelta patch can be found here:

And here's the updated Buildbot script for anybody interested:

  2. Not related to your current project (I'm sorry), but right now I'm hunting down PS2 romhacker for a commission I have open. I've left a link if you're interested. Thanks for letting me take some of your time.
