[DEV] Opening skill_usa.bin

How would I go about properly reading all the data within this file?

Re: Opening skill_usa.bin

Hex Editor would be a start or possibly making your own tool to read and display the information?

Experienced with parsing and C++ or C#?

Re: Opening skill_usa.bin

You can use wizatek's skillviewer but you cant edit it with yet, but it shows the right info needed to add new skills.

Looking how to open it and read its contents. Not looking how to open it itself, but more along the lines of how to extract the data from it.

        public int Magic1_Id { get; set; }
        public int Magic2_Id { get; set; }
        public int Magic3_Id { get; set; }
        public byte Magic1_Level { get; set; }
        public byte Magic2_Level { get; set; }
        public byte Magic3_Level { get; set; }
        public int Learn_GP { get; set; }



    }

Then u can simply load the file with

Skills.LoadFromFile("pathtofile");

And u can get the skillinfo easy

int i = Skills.SkillsList.FindIndex(p => p.SkillID == id);

Skills.SkillsList[i].anyhinguneed

Thats in C# but it wouldn't be that different in another language i guess
