Our dear moderator Wyv is the expert hacker in this forum. She has a thread somewhere about editing save games with a hex editor. IŽll see if I can drag that one up for you [img]smile.gif[/img] And here it is: http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...c;f=4;t=007364 [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've always used HexEdit to hack save files. Basically you're just altering the data being saved, not actually programming so you don't need to use a programming language such as C++.

Actually, what you're opening them up with is a C++ editor, and not with C++. I strongly suspect that if you save it with that editor, you will be unable to use the savegame -- it will be saved as text, and not as the hex data it was.

To edit and save them safely, you really need a hex editor.
