Hey Iggy!

[Aliaz212]

Just gota Hex editor......Gah.....hurts my eyes...how the hell do I get started?

I opened up the fire emblem file, and now...All I see are Numbers and letter pairs, like you said in your other thread....Gah...

I'd add a picture of what it looks like, except....I don't know how

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop[/img]

I'm totally confused at what I'm doing...because I don't think I have a URL....er...uh...

AHH MY HEAD!

[Aliaz212]

Mmm...nope. nope, it didn't work

[SpyroDi]

Here's a short Walkthrough of a hex editor:

You see all the paired numbers? Those are values. Each number is a byte. So 49 bytes in a file would have 49 pairs of numbers. 2.5MB would have 2 million 5 hundred thousand pairs of numbers. Each value can go from 00 to FF(255).

Instead of going from 9 to 10,it goes from 9 to A to F:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11,12...and so forth.

Also,10 = 16,20 = 32,etc.

The value number is usually located somewhere on the bottom of the hex editor. Sometimes it's on the left of all of the numbers. You might see something like,00019F6B. That is the value of the numbered value at start of the row. So,if you see 0000001F,then the first pair of numbers after that would be 1F,then the next would be 20,the one after that would be 21,and so forth. This makes it easy to find values.

To change a value,simply click on it,and insert the letter/number(0-F)you want. There are guides for where to put these numbers for playing/hacking with,the most common are RPGs for SNES. Most of the guides require basic knowledge of how to use a hex editor,like the information I'm providing you right now.

I hope that helps.

Thanks Spyro, I understood MOST of what you wrote...I think I jsut need to read it over a few more times...but one thing

Does it go...

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20?

Like that?

Cause that's the only part that slightly confused me.

[SpyroDi]

Yes,that is how the numbering goes,sorta. You just need to have the 0 in front of the number without a second digit. So it would go like

01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,0A,0B,0C,0D,0E,0F,10.

Forgot about that.

[Aliaz212]

Ohhhhh....I get it then. So the the digits can go from
01 - 09, then it becomes
0A - 0F And after an F, the first of the 2 digits go up by one, right?

For example,

0F - 10
1F - 20
2F - 30

Is that right?

[SpyroDi]

Right. And remember,after FF,it doesn't go to 100,but it's the maximum value. So there's nothing after FF except the next byte.

[Aliaz212]

Now, I wanna know something more simple...

How would I get an image here if it doesn't have a URL.

Because I have an image of my Hex editor with a ton of digits, and I have no clue how they correspond with each other. And it'd be useful for the future

[SpyroDi]

You have to upload pictures onto the internet first. The BEST site for this is
www.photobucket.com/.

And if you don't know how they correspond with each other,then you need a guide.

[Aliaz212]

Big, big guide...I suck with actual computer stuff...I just know how to play games on it

[Arf]

this all sounds confusing

[Aliaz212]

There's the picture. Finally got it onto photo bucket

As you can see, i am confused because i don't know what numbers go where, so It's a little difficult to understand. Very difficult, actually

Read the guide carefully.

This all makes my head hurt...

I don't think it'd make a difference because of all the compression, but wouldn't it help to have a thingy table, not just those three columns?
