Getting into Modding

[thunderchero]

resurrection just to ask this question: any changes to what software you use outside of UE, like do you still use hxd for hex editing?

yes, but there is so many free options out there.

but for most hex editing you can use bof_patcher.

most code topics will have "patch" file or text to create one. also some of the mods will have patch files that was used.

Yes, HxD is still a good recommendation

Eg. the simple feature '-> Special editors -> Data inspector' supports directly editing of float values in Big/Little endian (just click data type)

Assembler level: IDA-Pro free & OllyDbg

Expert programmers use even more tools I'm not familar with.
