Try "Hex Workshop" from http://www.bpsoft.com or "UltraEdit" from http://www.ultraedit.com and open the SOE *.ZST files you wish to work with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those new to hex and hex editors can read the following: - Typical hex editors display a file with "offsets" on the left of the screen, "hex values" in the middle, and the "printed garbage" on the right of the screen. - Offsets are the addresses. It may appear like this: 00000000 - Hex values are the values. They may appear like this: E6 03 20 20 FF - The printed garbage is there only so humans can look at it. It's not very pretty; it won't help you in most cases; don't worry about it. - This guide will represent the offsets in this format: #B9 - The last number (0-9, A-F) in an offset is the COLUMN you need to go to. So for the offset of #B9, go to the line "000000B0" and the 9th column to the right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - For the different offsets, here's a Quick List of the most commonly used values: HEX VALUE DECIMAL VALUE USES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "63" for "99" used for levels, item quantities "FF" for "255" used for statistics "E7 03" for "999" used for HP, Max HP, statistics "0F 27" for "9999" used for HP, Max HP "FF FF" for "65535" used for HP, Max HP "7F 96 98" for "9,999,999" used for money or experience -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: For the two- or three-column HEX VALUES ("E7 03"), the numbers must be entered "backward" as shown above to work properly. - When saving large numbers to computer language, the order of the hex values are reversed. If you open Windows Calculator and enter "999" in decimal form and convert it to hexedicimal form, it will show "3E7" (note that Calculator will remove any leading zeros). To use this multi-column hex value, add any necessary leading zeros (in this case, in front of the "3") to make even pairs ("03 E7"). Put the number pairs in reverse order ("E7 03") in the SOE *.ZST files. - THIS DOES NOT MEAN TO REVERSE THE VALUES! "03 E7" must be entered as "E7 03", not "30 7E"! For the basic rule of thumb, number pairs are entered like this: #2 #1 (or #3 #2 #1 for very large numbers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---CHARACTER STATS--- Man's Maximum HP: 1649, 1648 Man's Attack: 1653, 1652 Man's Defense: 1655, 1654 Man's Magic Defense: 1657, 1656 Man's Evade%: 1659, 1658 Man's Hit%: 165B, 165A Man's Experience: 165E, 165D, 165C Man's Level: 1663 Dog's Maximum HP: 1693, 1692 Dog's Attack: 169D, 169C Dog's Defense: 169F, 169E Dog's Magic Defense: 16A1, 16A0 Dog's Evade%: 16A3, 16A2 Dog's Hit%: 16A5, 16A4 Dog's Experience: 16A8, 16A7, 16A6 Dog's Level: 16AD Man's Name: 2E23-2E46 Dog's Name: 2E47-2E6B Man's Current HP: 5AC7, 5AC6 Dog's Current HP: 5B75, 5B74 ---ITEMS--- Wax: 2F12 Water: 2F13 Vinegar: 2F14 Root: 2F15 Oil: 2F16 Mushroom: 2F17 Mud Pepper: 2F18 Meteorite: 2F19 Limestone: 2F1A Iron: 2F1B Gunpowder: 2F1C Grease: 2F1D Feather: 2F1E Ethanol: 2F1F Dry Ice: 2F20 Crystal: 2F21 Clay: 2F22 Brimstone: 2F23 Bone: 2F24 Atlas Amulet: 2F25 Ash: 2F26 Acorn: 2F27 Petals: 2F28 Nectar: 2F29 Honey: 2F2A Dog Biscuit: 2F2B Wings: 2F2C Essence: 2F2D Pixie Dust: 2F2E Call Bead: 2F2F Grass Vest: 2F30 Shell Plate: 2F31 Dino Skin: 2F32 Bronze Armor: 2F33 Stone Vest: 2F34 Centurion Cape: 2F35 Silver Mail: 2F36 Gold-Plated Vest: 2F37 Shining Armor: 2F38 Magna Mail: 2F39 Titanium Vest: 2F3A Virtual Vest: 2F3B Grass Hat: 2F3C Shell Hat: 2F3D Dino Helm: 2F3E Bronze Helmet: 2F3F Obsidian Helm: 2F40 Centurion Helm: 2F41 Titan's Crown: 2F42 Dragon Helm: 2F43 Knight's Helm: 2F44 Lightning Helm: 2F45 Old Reliable: 2F46 Brainstorm: 2F47 Vine Bracelet: 2F48 Mammoth Guard: 2F49 Claw Guard: 2F4A Serpent Bracer: 2F4B Bronze Gauntlet: 2F4C Gloves of Ra: 2F4D Iron Bracer: 2F4E Magician's Ring: 2F4F Dragon's Claw: 2F50 Cyberglove: 2F51 Protector Ring: 2F52 Virtual Glove: 2F53 Leather Collar: 2F54 Spiky Collar: 2F55 Defender Collar: 2F56 Spot's Collar: 2F57 Thunder Ball: 2F58 Particle Bomb: 2F59 Cryo-Blast: 2F5A Annihilation Amulet: 312B, 312A Bead: 312D, 312C Ceramic Pot: 312F, 312E Chicken: 3131, 3130 Golden Jackal: 3133, 3132 Jeweled Scarab: 3135, 3134 Limestone Tablet: 3137, 3136 Perfume: 3139, 3138 Rice: 313B, 313A Spice: 313D, 313C Spoon: 313F, 313E Tapestry: 3141, 3140 Ticket For Exhibition: 3143, 3142 ---MONEY--- $Talons: 16DB, 16DA, 16D9 $Jewels: 16DE, 16DD, 16DC $Gold Coins: 16E1, 16E0, 16DF $Credits: 16E4, 16E3, 16E2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL THANKS GO TO: All of the hardworking people at Square USA who created the Evermore Fantasy World, especially Jeremy Soule (because the music ROCKS!)
