[cheat] Changing SPECIAL stats with hex editor
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2016 3:36 am
I've already posted it in Save Editor topic, but I wanted to make it more visible on the forum. I've found a way of changing SPECIAL stats in hex editor. It'll probably be useful until a compatible version of Save Editor comes out. Having all SPECIAL attributes at 10 is considered cheating, but to me it's just a way of having more fun and possibilities in game, instead of sacrificing one thing for another. So let's get to work, I'll try to explain it as clear as possible:
1. Create new character and save it (if you have any saved characters already, then skip to next point).
2. Download this hex editor: http://www.handshake.de/user/chmaas/del ... /xvi32.zip
2.1. Extract it using WinRAR.
2.2. Run it (XVI32.exe).
3. Open your saved earlier character file (.GCD file). It should be in your game main directory ...\Fallout 2\Resurrection\resdata folder.
4. Now, look at this screenshot:
5. To change those values left-click on one of the marked boxes and go to Tools ---> Bit Manipulation, then a window will pop up.
6. There are 8 boxes marked from 0 to 7, by ticking them you can manipulate value of that SPECIAL stat you chose. Below those 8 boxes there is line showing value in decimal, hex and binary. The first one is the one that interests you.
7. You need to tick boxes marked 3 and 1 ONLY, to get value of 10. You can try with others to set it below 10, if you want.
8. When you're done, hit "Set" button and repeat whole thing for other SPECIAL attributes.
9. Save your character file and exit hex editor.
10. Run game, load your "enchanced" character and enjoy!
