I need help with Hex Editor!

Post by Avenger »

So today I downloaded Hex Editor and when I opened a rep.lvl it is just so many letters, numbers, and alot of other stuff. Looked like "Computer Language" to me :?

Can anyone help me?

If anything, you're reading the wrong file. It's always (correct me if I'm wrong) the Mission.lvl file, since it has all of the game's level scripts in it.

WRONG, you can edit any on the munged files, and do some pretty nifty stuff. Ever wondered how the -GMRZ- server removed force?

Yo, it is computer language. the Hexadecimal on the left translates directly to binary which runs through changing switches on and off in your computer.
