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...

Re: Roster editor possible - But I'll need some help

So, by simply opening a roster file in a hex editor, I'm able to manipulate player ratings very easily and get them back in the game with no issues. Now, with that in mind, in order to make this available to the community, I'll need someone who has some programming experience to help me out.

All we need to do is be able to manipulate simple hex files and save them. So we'll just need a GUI which displays the information from the hex files and allows the user to change the data.

Myself, I have absolutely zero programming experience (I'm a network engineer ), so I'm reaching out to the community to see if we have anyone who can help out

Here is an example of what I'm seeing in the hex editor (the player's name is Donte Byrd):

Here is the section related the the player's rating:

The ratings are in the following order:
Speed, Strength, Agility, Focus

This player's ratings are:
58, 65, 56, 81

I figured out the offset for money/credits last night .So now i have 9999999 credits.I can share the info with anyone that wants it. The offset for credits start at 00330530 just change the first 6bytes to 98 96 7f which is $9999999.

Makes it real easy to buy players now. Also can anyone point me in the right direction, so i can learn how to correctly save,upload the modded hxd file. It would make viewing the file easier on the forum.If all else fail i can upload my save file.

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
    /* 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!?

Haha Cool. I figured that perl was in no way extensive. I had some of it laying around and made a few changes and threw it up here for brainstorming purposes. I know some python, which is better for GUI manipulations, but Im sure Finn is better at doing that. I havent used python in 3 or so years.

Yeah...If no headway is made, I might try to get a simple GUI in VB.net or something, but the problem is that some of the data has to be read in ASCII, other has to be converted to just it's number representation (the player ratings) and there is a lot of information in the save files that I have no clue what it does.

Hopefully we can get Finn the game and see if he's willing to help out, if not...it'll be a LONG process lol

Re: Roster editor possible - But I'll need some help

I actually did this myself and when I put the file back into the game it did not load up properly. It gave me an error.

Odd, what program are you using to rehash/resign? I was using 'Modio' and it worked flawlessly.

A different freeware program. I'll just try another then.
