I have waypoints for an older version of lets say ns_eclipse. I renamed the older version ns_eclipse_v3b4 and renamed the waypoint files with the same suffix (_v3b4).
It doesn't work. I see that the map name is embedded in the waypoint file. What should I be doing to make the waypoint files work on a different named map? Darth |

Hex edit it and change it in the file header... It should look something like this:
change it over to look like this
http://www.bpsoft.com/ (best hex editor I know of) I had to do the same thing when I put back in the original co_daimos and renamed it to co_daimos_b5 |

Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome...
Thanks LordSkitch. I'm realeasing a new map in the next couple of days, and was afraid I'd have to remake all the waypoints again (I made them on the first beta version of the map). I actually had tried notepad, but no luck there and none expected. Lucky me the name change was all that was needed though. Thanks for the hex editor by the way. I used to do a lot of hex editing "way back when" with PCTools, but nothing recently. Thanks again! Darth |

Not really. Not unless you know exactly what to change. Binary hex editers are really the only way. Here is the hexediter I use. HDD Software Hex Editer and it's 100% free forever. |

Yeah, notepad can't handle machine code, so if it works you got lucky. It's very rare.
Check your link Sandman. It didn't work for me, but I did find it here to check it out. http://www.download.com/Hex-Editor/3000-23...tml?tag=lst-0-2 HHD Software's site appears to be down or have moved. Darth |

Thats basically the same thing as HexWorkshop, just HexWorkshop is more flexible and such... if you're a coder or anything you totally need to invest in a hex editor anyways

Mainframe Analyst actually, but I do do a little programming from time to time. It's a whole set of different tools though. In the mean time I'm having fun playing on PC's, so this definitely helps.
Thanks again! |

I just dubble checked the link I posted and it is working fine for me. Maybe the site was down when you checked it? Who knows. Anyway, I use an older version of HDD Software's hexediter version 2.0 because I don't need any of the newer features. I actually still have the installer but the file is 1mb in size so I can't upload it here. |
