Some questions about hexing.

I think it would save a lot of time for item editing if you could copy and paste item tables from one client into another. I've never tried it before, but was wondering if anyone here has had some success in doing something like this before.

Yes... you can perform a binary copy and paste in Olly. If you do the same in a hex editor, you will have to be very careful you "overwrite" rather than "insert" or you may extend file sections, which will corrupt your executable if you don't update the PE headers. But with care, it is possible.

Remember that doing this will not update any alterations to the code which reads the tables. So, while overwriting one table with another will work, you have to be careful of the length of the table, and that issue with item holding style.
