So does anyone know much about Hex?

I seem to be a tiny little tad in over my head on my newest project.

Why do you know that?

There are programs to do it for you.

Cause, I am on a PC Tech course and it's nice to know how... It's the same as maths, you could use a calculator, but its good to know how stuff works

Your question's pretty vague, Neo.

The wiki article helped me greatly, as did this translator thingie windy found me.

The project I am working on is to mod a game I play called "Red Baron 3D."

Unfortunately, the owners of said game (Sierra/Dynamix/Vivendi) refuse to sell us the source code...

So far so good... thanks guys!

You'll need more than just a hex editor to do that, you'll need to know a bit of x86 assembler...

Depends on what you're trying to do, I think... You can modify some games quite a bit with only a hex editor, but that's usually only stuff like missions and maybe planes or something.
