Hi all, I want to make a very basic text editor for editing save game files. I already know the locations in the file I need to edit, but I'm not sure how to go about finding them in a bit file(right term?). I'm pretty familiar with general visual basic.net programming and I can get along well enough with c and java when I have to.
If someone can just get me started on how to open up a non ASCII file (visual basic preferred), find byte locations (addresses?), and edit them, I think I can figure out the rest from there as far as writing functions to edit the values I want to goes. I want to test some very specific scenarios in the game and it would take me many hours to edit the files using a regular hex editor. Thanks for any help.
