Actually I've used hex editing for one use that was worth it.. changing units to have an impossible amount of hp (-20)

You can do that in Starforge

he probably wants to hex to unprotect maps
hexing is hard and it wont help you make better maps. starforge is good enough
it will take a long time to learn how to hex well and fast
so if your not up to it, then you should probably not try

Once again! I DONT WANT TO UNPROTECT MAPS!! I've tried lol i admit that, i cant cause either the website wasn't up to date or it was protected to well you couldn't unprotect it! so i dont want to unprotect maps!!! (also, i tried to unproted them to learn from them, so i wasn't doing a bad thing, kinda.. lol)

Still, you're not allowed to talk about it at SEN. (There are only 2 protections without a public way to unprotect them, both are PROEdit.)
"Takes a long time to learn how to hex well and fast"??? I don't even know what that means. Let's recap:
1. Hexing isn't a hard skill. It takes time to adjust to the new number system (i.e. 1E is really 30), but that's about it. Even that takes about 1-2 hours of knowing that it exists. Nothing else is "radical" about it.
2. You can hex ANYTHING. Images, videos, .chk's, programs (ASM hacking/coding), etc... The only thing that takes an enormous amount of time to understand/hex "well and fast" is ASM. That's about it, but I don't think that Mp)XIII is interested in it. The rest are just file formats which you could look up by googling for them.
3. You really can't hex well in StarCraft maps... However, you could get used to it and do it faster, although it won't make much difference.
Sure, learn how the .chk file format is structured. That, combined with knowing the basics of the hexadecimal number system is all you need. It doesn't take long. However, it has little payoff (except for learning the basics of hex, etc...)

Thanx for the support, and i kind of want to learn because I want a career in computer science like making software and programs and programing and all the computer knowlage I can take in would help, plus its for something i like doing, making SC maps. in the furture I would like to know baout C++ (all i know is its a form of coding for some SC bots
) and html/php coding (all i know is they are for the internet). i will look those up myself though on the internet, but thanx.Report, edit, etc...Posted by (U)Bolt_Head on 2004-08-20 at 00:12:30
LoL you almost got me interested in hexing now.

Yeah thats the same field of study that i want to go into, im taking visual basic and Q basic classes at my high school and online (for high school credit smile.gfx) Good luck with hex editing... im a math person and i always think in powers of 2... i think hexing might be for me.
