I have so far been able to edit item quantities. I have also encountered the failed to load error. Since then, I have been editing as IdleHands88 has mentioned and NOT inject the USER_DATA file, but mod the CON file instead. That being said, I have been using the Hash Calc tool to recalculate the Hash. No change in file size and works so far *knock on wood*. The trouble I'm having is that I can't seem to add any items. There seem to be blocks of items scattered throughout the USER_DATA file separated by sequences of "FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000000..." and "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000000". I recall a post mentioning that those are placeholders and should be replaced by the item you are looking to add. It also seems that each item is 28 bytes but I am unsure of how the 28 bytes would fit in the sequence.
for example, I have:
000000000000FA00000000
40000000000002BC000000
010004B1
2D01
I am aware of the bold sections...but that is it. the following few lines/items are as follows:
000000000000000000000010000000000704E0000000010277 412E01
000000000001900000000010000000000708C800000001027D 812F01
00000000000190000000001000000000070CB0000000010283 C13001
0000000000019000000000100000000007109800000001028A 013101
then the next 28
0000000000019000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00000000FFFF FFFF00
if i was to follow the same pattern, would i simply replace where the FF starts with 40xxxxx01 (01 because it seems items end with a 01)?
Any suggestions?
THanks
