c/linux · by zShxck@lemmy.ml · 2yI am trying to edit a game save with an Hex editor but it doesn't allow me to change anything, it's frustrating I am using Ghex and Bless and both of them display the value of my gold but I cannot edit it. I am missing something? 8 points · 10 comments · view on lemmy.world

Do you have write permission on the file?

Is the hex file not saving with those editors, or is the game just not showing the new value once it's loaded?

Nono, i cannot input any values, that's the problem. Anyhow, I tried ImHex and with it I am able to change values now... I don't know why

The file could be digitally signed. By editing you change the hash value that will be computed when the file is checked for integrity. Just a wild guess.

Maybe your other editor messed up the encoding?

I think you are right, I saw a different set of numbers in the left bar, but with ImHex the numbers were "correct"

I don't know these programs. Some hex editors are weird about editing, I use bvi to edit and it works pretty good for me.

Yeah I tried ImHex and with it I am able to change values now... I don't know why

Cool if it works. Stick with what works for you
