[App] DotHex

ExileLord · Post by **ExileLord** » Mon Nov 21, 2005 5:33 pm

This is a program VoiDeD and I have been working on for the past few days. It is in a nutshell a hex editor leaned towards the editing of Halo map files. Currently it doesn't do a whole lot.

Current Features..
- Byte, Short, Long, Quad, Char Editing
- String Viewer and Editor
- Jump to Offset
- Structure Viewer

The structures is a little difficult to explain so I will get VoiDeD for that later..

Future Features (Hopefully)
- Float and Double Editing
- Value Searching
- Loading Multiple Files
- Comparing Files

A readme will be included in a later version. We are releasing this version now in hopes of helping people finding out what some offsets are for in meta files.

DotHex was written in C# and the programming was done by VoiDeD.

String editing is also in development.. Along with editable values in the structure viewer.

Structures are easy to work with, you can base everything to the structure that comes with DotHex, or if you really need it, I can make a tutorial which should help.

The Swamp Fox did not make a whitepaper for Halo 2. high6 is referring to Iron_Forge's.. A simple that is Iron_Forge's whitepaper would have also done nicely Tycko.

I've read through Iron_Forge's white paper, and its a very great informational document, but I based everything in the structure off of the Halo2Map.dll source, and if you like, you can open up the structure in notepad and change it if you like.
