need someone to hex edite a map

[CBA_Bludawg 0]

ok need some help badly. everything is going great the palm trees are a pain in my ass. nothing seems to work on them at all. I talked with sleeper and he had the same problem with another map he worked.

sleeper said something about a hex editer to remove them from the map. He said mike schell did this with caves map. does anyone know how to do this and give it a shot for me or walk me through it.

Help please dont wont to loose to a map lmao.

No idea how to remove those palms with hex editor m8. Might be easier to recreate the whole map.

i have had some success with hex editors to mod GR in the past but when i tried it on a map it cuased a CTD. i was thinking about giving another shot soon though,if i figure something out i will let you know. if you figure it first definitely keep this thread going.

will do, sleeper said mike schell did this a long time ago on caves map. maybe someone that knows him could get him to post on the matter. or even give the structure of map files. i have a programmer that will look at it if i get some info of the structure of the file.

(his quote)

If you have any documentation on the map file structure i'd have a look.

so if aNY KNOWS ANYTHING POST IT MAYBE THIS COULD OPEN UP A FEW DOORS.

sry for caps (talk key)

I just wanted to add that I would advise against bothering Mike Schell about it. He apparently has some sort of agreement or understanding with RSE (AFAIK) concerning their file formats. If you or someone you know can figure it out, that would be great, I just know that Mr. Schell doesn't mod GR anymore and although he may just seem uncooperative to any requests, he has specific(and possibly legal) reasons for doing so.

This is all just to the best of my personal knowledge based on earlier modding information, forum topics, and the few times I have semi-communicated with him myself.

*The one suggestion that I can make is to maybe compare the original Caves.map file with the treeless version.
