Message: [QUOTE="MetalSharkPlayer, post: 197110, member: 525181"] Thanks, mate. Yeah, I love making unplayable characters playable. I never liked those limitations... for some games there is a checksum, so it's not as easy to hack. Well, im not too familiar with save editing but the principle is the same: you need to find basic values first. for example, you have 1328 gold, so you need to transform this to hex value, that would be 0530 You go to your hex editor, open the save file, and search for this value. It will probably point you in the right direction, but in this area you should find other values like your equipment, etc. After that is just modify and test; this is a LOT of trial and error. If the save doesn't use a checksum, then it won't be too hard. There are games like Lunar 2 that use a checksum, so every time you ADD something, you need to add that value to the checksum, which is a PITA to do, because if you subtract a value, you need to subtract it from the checksum as well... Also, I don't know how to find checksum values. Games do this as a way to prevent cheating. For character hacking such as playing with a unplayable boss in a fighting games this is not as hard, but takes a long time to find the character values, sometimes you need to use common sense to figure out the character ID, for example in Street Fighter most of the time Ryu has got the lowest ID value, Ken as got the next value, Chun Li is probably ID 3, and so on, you go to a battle with Ryu, search for unknown initial value, then go back to char selection screen, select Chun Li, search for increased value, then go back to select screen, select Ryu, go back to cheat engine, select decreased value, go back, and so on... its a painful process but after a while you should find your char values. This is just a very quick explanation, of course, you can also do some memory editing which is what i do most of the time. [/QUOTE]
