This looks bizarre. The effect is that the byte-value for a right-footed player born on the first of the month appears as 129.

But I want to know how to do it. Can someone please write a guide on how to edit players via a hex editor. It needs to be explained in detail, like what are the byte's used for etc...

Thanks

Sup man I have started on a hex editing guide for dummies.

its called that coz i only just learnt some basics my self, i cant post yet gotta go to rugby, but i've already started so will finish up once i stumble in from town, so the writing may be kind of messed up, more than usual anyway.

apologies in advance

 

[aaron118]

Great Evol, when do you think it will be finished by?

Thanks

hopefully by the end of today i will have a roster editor done. but it wont have the created players in it yet cause they are in a different part of the file (and don thave any created players atm )

that way you dont need to use the hex editor. but if you are going to play with it make sure you back up the file first
