[N/A] Text and Hex Editors - Hext Tools 3.0

[Chrysalis]

It doesnt tell me more then that.

I can confirm the tifa addresses are file, the original post where they documented specifically says to hexedit the file, and I can confirm if I edit the file manually it has the desired affect.

So unless you can confirm I have done something wrong to me it looks like a bug, in which case I am posting in the right thread.

Before confirming please make sure you test as well. If you confirm I made an error in syntax or something please explain what I did wrong.  Thanks

Proof addresses are in file

]ill look later when i get home. have you checked exe write permissions

 

[Chrysalis]

yep.

Things I checked.

running tool as admin.
permissions on exe (is writable by YAMP)
if its a filesize issue (by removing the size value)
syntax of address, I checked the documentation supplied, it says 00s at start dont need to be present, but just in case I did try with them present but it made no difference.
if I run using the supplied testfile it functions as expected however.

 

[DLPB_]

edit.

{{Tifa change all miss to hit - exe addresses below}}

< This is what's doing it.  You can't have closing double bracket on same line.

{{
Tifa change all miss to hit - exe addresses below
}}


or 

{Tifa change all miss to hit - exe addresses below

or

#Tifa change all miss to hit - exe addresses below

The working example shows the above - but I appreciate how strange it must seem that double curly cannot end on the same line.  I might change that in future revisions.

What {{Tifa change all miss to hit - exe addresses below}} is being seen as is

{{Tifa change all miss to hit - exe addresses below

i.e., skip everything from this point on.

I spotted that I messed up the DLL path, so only global DLL will work.  I'll fix this in later revision.

Hello
Thanks for those tools.
I got a strange issue, if a load hext.dll with the opengl config file, i got a "bip" sound when ff7 launch (before the first video launch), no more bug after that and the .txt patch i use are working great.

Any idea ?

Thanks

 

[Kaldarasha]

The bib sound is normal and indicates that the mod is working.

 

[satsuki]

Ok thanks, so no way to tell hext.dll no to play it ?

 

[Chrysalis]

better late than never I can confirm after I changed to single { it works properly.

Found the download button took some time. But now i found it. The broken link is about the clock.

I feel like an idiot, but i cant find a clear answer to what seems like an obvious thing anywhere.

I want to learn to hex edit ff8.

My first goal is a simple patch to the exe, simply changing a single value to another one.

Problem is, i cant even figure out how to start. All the readmes and the comments here seem to assume that you already have the exe in a instruction list text file that you can then manipulate, but how do i actually get a .txt from the exe in the first place?
