Hex editing

[ArgVega]

I have been studying monkey dragon's popups tutorial, as well as hex tutorials.... I have come to understand some basics so that i may start editing popups, i pretty much know how to locate and change fonts and color of popup texts... The thing that i wish to acquire is how to understand the positioning of popup items or texts, through investigation i have noticed that MD resized the window of popups as well as the position, however since i am a beginner at hex editing i am having trouble understanding what he edited or how to interpret it? any hex editor have tips or more input

what you are asking for can be done by editing the ".O" and ".fsh" files not the ".apt" file

the ".O" file can be edited using OEdit.
the ".fsh" file can be edited using fsh tool.

I'm not a hundred percent sure, the odeit from the champions league and my popups are exactly the same... but when i compare and start changing the apt file the positioning of stuff starts changing, as well as the window of the popup...

for ex: the orig popup fsh file was 512x256, when i apply the new chamions league apt it requires a 1024x1024 fsh popup, that was done by the apt file...

but hey have you edited the fsh file and the o file for positioning? if so then i have some questions for you regarding the paarts

It depends on the popup you are using, For me, I use the UCL06/07 popups, I don't know which one you are using, they all differ.

BUT, It is easy to figure it out, the team logos are 2 squares with the same size but in different locations, the main popup window may be one part or divided into pieces, you can try to resize each part and play a match and you will figure which part has changed.

If you find it difficult, you can send me the files you are using and I can help.

I edit the o file, but the team logos and names do not change, i think their positioning is changed in the apt file, which is what MD did for the ucl popups in the switcher... I need help finding the position variables and understanding what they mean in hex

can you upload the ucl popups 06/07 so i can examine them?

OK, I will upload them after the week end as they are on my other PC.

BTW, the UCL popups don't have team logos.
