YAHE (Yet Another Hex Editor)

[343]

And NO, that is NOT the name of it LOL

In my efforts to move away from "bootlegging" my daily software (IE: 010 editor [as good as it is]) I found what I (so far) think is a lovely FOSS (free/open source) hex editor (and more)!

It is called ImHex:

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

I like even more that it's available for Winblows and Linux (like 010 editor) [but a lot of other hex editors I see are Winblows only ] As, when I first started my "PWp" adventure I was rocking Winblows for my desktop(s)/workstation(s) and Linux for my server(s). Since Winblows 10+ really sucks balls (Win7 was the last 'nice' winblows) I have since moved ALL my machines (servers && desktops/workstations) to (various distributions of) Linux!!! And as such I have been also seeking to use only FOSS stuff rather than 'bootlegging" any more

And yes, if all you're doing is editing hex, the above/default layout is a bit "cluttered", but you can easily change your views to be more accommodating to only editing hex:

Looks interesting, does it do template reading like 010 does?

Not sure on that yet... I've returned to work (my actual job) {posted from my phone}

I would also imagine if it's not, it would be easy to either add yourself or request to be added since it's open source!

honestly i tried it before installing 010 editor back again, the copy paste mechanisms didnt work really well, it had many interface lag issues even with the framerate of the software increased to match my monitor, i have few crashes before deciding move away, also the application interface was not friendly for tabs mechanism, opening new files process was quite slow in comparison with 010 editor.

Ah (bummer)

I've been using this for a couple of weeks. I'm definitely not as skilled as you lot - but interface wise, I'd agree it's not quite as intuitive but it is certainly easier to look at.

Just these screenshots alone have shown me how to do something I couldn't quite figure out so I'll probably start diving in a bit more with this instead of the baseline one I have been using!

010 still better unfortunately. Seems they went with overcomplication and flashy user interface instead of the most core desirable features for a hex editor. Yes a lot of features are nice and they are there but not having an easy way to use templates or even my old templates is a deal-breaker. Technically speaking though I could just take the things I hate about it and change them since it is in fact, open source.

I liked it, I'm starting to use hex, I didn't find it difficult, but I also didn't try to create scripts or anything like that, I was just trying to identify the .bon structure,

impossible for set Variables such as Rate, Wallow, Balance, and so on point to specific memory locations that store information about various in-game settings, such as statistic rates, skill cooldowns, and other settings with this one?
I'm trying to create a script.lua for version 1.4.2
