Roster editor possible - But I'll need some help

Hey, eaglefan, hope you don't mind me posting this info over on the Backbreaker forums.

I just figured the more people that knew about it, the better the chances would be that we find someone to make the GUI...

Man, the guys on the backbreaker.com forum are being dicks. I don't think they understand the idea behind having customized ratings for offline play.

real quick. probably have to make a few changes:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

sub hex_to_ascii ($)

{
## Convert each two-digit hex number back to ASCII.

(my $str = shift) =~ s/([a-fA-F0-9]{2})/chr(hex $1)/eg;
return $str;
}

#Try it out

while (1)
{
print "Enter hex for conversion: ";
chomp (my $str = );
last if !$str || $str =~ /^(?:quit|end)$/i;

my $ascii_str = hex_to_ascii $str;

printf("\tASCII: %s\n\n", $ascii_str eq $str ? $ascii_str : $ascii_str);
}


++OUTPUT++

Enter hex for conversion: 6261636b627265616b6572
ASCII: backbreaker

Matt,

Converting the hex to ASCII format is not an issue, honestly. I mean, even with my limited knowledge of PHP (the only language I'm familiar with), I can do that. The need is for a GUI that reads the data, presents it in a readable format, and allows for user manipulation.

And just for giggles, what your code would look like in PHP:

PHP Code:

<?php
    /* convert a string of hex values to an ascii string */
    function hex2str($hex) {
      for($i=0;$i<strlen($hex);$i+=2)
        $str .= chr(hexdec(substr($hex,$i,2)));
 
      return $str;
    }
 
    echo hex2str("48656C6C6F2C20576F726C64210A");


?>

Output: Hello, World!?

If I get the game, I will more then happy to create an editor for it. Who knows what is changeable and what isn't but I think it would be an interesting project.

Flying finn, if you can help hook this up it would be monumental. Up there with your 2k5 legacy. Your work kept video football gaming from dying with the exclusive crap!

Finn,

I will personally buy you a copy of BackBreaker and I don't even own a 360, just so you can make an editor...

[Fieldy Snutz]

Holy crap, if Finn were to work on this it would take Backbreaker to a whole new level! My HERO!
