Ok, second attempt. http://www.wireframeink.50megs.com/hex_edit_arcanum.htm I have been unable, following the above instructions, to find my character within my save file. To narrow it down, it might be helpful to know how to translate XP (My "XP Next" value is 8173), Alignment (+39) and Magick/Tech preference (Tech +30) into hex values. As it stands, I haven't been able to find anything with a 00 00 02 00 00 00 FF FF FF 0F ending that has 1 fate point and 1 character point, but I know I have to be in there somewhere, or my save game wouldn't work. A little help?
Actually, my knowledge of hex editing is zero and none but in the downloads section is a GUI-based character editor called arceditor that'll allow you to alter the stats for everyone in your party without the hassle of hex. http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/arcanum/doa/arceditor1_8.zip
The problem I have with that program is that it replaces .dll files. I've had problems - big ones - in the past due to that.
