[HELP] How to detect a pattern present x times in hex editor ?

[mysterion9595]

Hello,

 

I would like to tweak my save of my game using a hex editor because it's softlocked now & I don't want to start over.

A bit of context first :

• The game in question is Legend of Kay Anniversary
• In this game, the player has a inventory of 5 items
• I need to tweak the save as a important item (bomb) aren't present in store due to a game bug
• I would like to replace the fourth & fifth items by bombs
• User safe is stored within a SVDAT00.BIN file

 

Thus I created several saves to get input on the structure itself :

 

• The "x object(s).BIN" saves were done on the softlocked save where I drop each time a single item (to know the location of each item in the BIN file)
• The "5 objects - all bombs.BIN" was done on a fresh start where I put 5 times the bomb object

Please find them in attached zip file :

I am not against some help in my quest as I am a bit lost.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

To detect a pattern 'x' times in a hex editor, open the file, use the search function, enter the pattern, specify parameters, and review results.
