You can use some hex editing software like Hackman, which has a compare feature.

You have this file you want to find offsets in. You copy it and back it up. Then you go ingame and do just the change you want to find the offset related to. Then save.

Then compare the two files and after much hit and trial you should be able to find the exact offset.

thanks a lot kshitiz. it has really helped me.
but is there any shorter method than hit and trial one?

If it wasn't some effort every Tom Dick and Harry would be making editors... Its not like making bats, kits or stumps.

If you are looking for another small good Hex editor, go with XVI32. You can easily get the offsets in the status bar along with its Integer conversion.

You can store the offsets too.

A small stupid question. What is better to use, vBNewline or vbcrlf in VB?

Thanks Abhinav. I was just trying to make difference. Your answer really helped me.

I learned alot of VB 2008 and I know the basics. Now, I want to know how to open cricket gaming files and make editor for it. What I want to know is if the files like .bag, .dat, etc. are binary files or not. After that, I know that you need to use binaryreader to read binary files in Vb and you need to know the structure of the file in order to open it in VB. I want to learn how to figure out the structure of the file and how to open it in VB. Can someone help me in this?

An extension doesn't say much about whether the file is binary or not - a file is a piece of data, extensions are there to recognize the common ones. I could make a txt file which a text editor won't read, etc.

Its more filing basics than the programming ability here.

I know all the basics. Its just that I don't know how to deal with binary files. If you ask me to make an advanced Notepad with alot of features, I can make it. I can make alot advanced calculator and other programs like that but I want to make game editors.

I highly doubt that, this is actually all basics. No shame, I'd think if you don't know something just admit it, not everyone's supposed to know everything!

To deal with binary files is related to filing rather than programming. And making editors for Cricket Games, btw, is not about only binary file editing.

@Kshitiz - why aren't you making a profile editor for unlocking stuff or a field editor for AC09?

Time shortage. I'd loved to [I had it planned before] but unfortunately time just doesn't allow. I'll have a look at the profile editing tonight if it can be done within some hours, but then that's it.

 

[barmyarmy]

Profile editing is very straight forward. Download the one I made and compare it to the original and you will see how straight forward. I think that the offsets are fixed as well...
