How I check what I changed on an examplar?

[OrSpeeder 72]

I started making a mod a long time ago... I decided to continue it.

 

Except I can't remember what I changed, although I have the list of examplars I changed, I have no idea WHAT I changed inside them.

 

How I check that?

Reader doesn't keep a log of changes, not as far as I know anyhow.

If you modified existing files, you could open the old and new files at the same time and compare the two. Tedious, but it would work.

I try not to get into the habbit of stopping half way through such things. However, if you do pause whilst editing a file, take a screenshot to show where you are in future, that would help to avoid such issues.

On either ilives Reader or SC4Reader both tools have a compare *.dat option. Simply load both files (old & new) to compare. In saying this they only compare on hex by hex basis, so not the most user-friendly way to compare. Probably just easier to load both side by side & compare bit by bit yourself .
