Hex Dump Editing

The Hex Dump Editor provides direct byte-level access to the binary file. Use it for manual modifications that go beyond structured map editing.

Opening the Hex Editor​

  • Double-click Edit Hex Dump in the Map Tree panel
  • Select Tools → Edit Dump from the main menu
  • Click Dump in the Tools section of the Main Ribbon tab

Interface​

The hex editor displays data in a grid of hexadecimal values with an optional ASCII column. The toolbar provides:

Display Controls​

  • Data format — signed/unsigned byte, word, double-word, float, etc.
  • Endianness — little-endian or big-endian byte order
  • ASCII column — toggle ASCII text display
  • Bars — toggle value bars visualization
  • Column count — adjust number of columns
  • Page navigation — toggle between full-page and half-page PgUp/PgDn
  • Search (Ctrl+F) — find byte patterns. Use search result navigation to cycle through matches.
  • Diff navigation — jump between changed regions of the dump

Selection Operations​

Select a range of bytes and use:

  • Copy / Paste
  • Set all to value
  • Zero all
  • Revert to original
  • Increment / decrement
  • Percent increment / decrement

Keyboard Reference​

Press F1 in the Hex Editor to see all available hotkeys. Pressing a hotkey in the help window highlights the corresponding command.

Undo / Redo​

  • Ctrl+Z — undo
  • Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z — redo

The undo stack is shared with map editors — all dump modifications appear in the same history.
