Re: increased damage?
There's no reason you can't. It's not hard - just find the section in the .lvl file pertaining to the _ord.odf of the weapon you're trying to modify. All the number data is stored in plain text in the hex file.Darth_Spiderpig wrote:No.
It's actually much easier to munge the side you're trying to modify beforehand and simply looking at the munged .class file for whichever part of the .lvl file you want to modify (all .odfs are munged into .class files and then simply taken whole-stock into the .lvl file).
That said, there's really no reason to use hexediting to make these kind of changes. It's much easier to simply rebuild the .lvl file.

Re: increased damage?
you can actually do a lot with the hex-editor pertaining to weapons. You can make them have different salvo counts, fire more salvos (i dont think you can edit ammo for some reason) you can have the explosion radius increased and the push along with it. I know for a fact that all of this is possible, because i used to mod the ps2 version's server data with hex editor.

Re: increased damage?
i actually prefer HxD for hex editing, but if your going into hex editing models, you have to use the xvi32

Re: increased damage?
i couldnt find the tool your supposed to use for the unit counts or whatever on HxD. but yes, HxD is the best because it gives you easier veiwing and editing of the worded half of the editor instead of just the numerical and symbol half. (the halves are about equal in size too, so more of a line appears higher up)
