Help on Editing "Short" Values

I can't grasp hold of how short values work. The ones comprised of only two bytes, you know? If anyone could tell me, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Do you mean the little 50/53 that you change to pilot pelicans? I don't even understand the 8 or 32 byte values, I just know they work.

if you are talking about the word values (word = 4 bytes in hex) those are definitions, if the game can't find them it crashes. you need to swap the values.

I'm not that stupid dude. I know how those work. I mean the little two byte values called shorts. There are floats, shorts, bits, longs, and some others and I'm wondering how to edit shorts.

Experimentation really. I made the Fuel Rod the ultimate weapon.

1. It zooms in 8x, just as much as sniper rifle.
2. The fuel rods don't arc, the shoot straight forward.
3. The fuel rods can travel the entire length of the map.
4. The fuel rods travel extremely fast. It hits the target instantly.

So I kinda figured 'em out. I should be okay guys. Thanks.

YO BEAST, Stop knowing so much... Ha, dude, are you using HexEdit to do all of your stuff still? I really would like to know how to do all of that stuff... But, you know, I'm kinda starting to get into C++ coding and java... So, kinda getting off track there... but, anyways... Please help me tonight, i hope you are on... Later.

Actually, for everything I did to the fuel rod gun, I used HexEditor, not HexEdit, HMT plugins, and a hex calculator.

Zooming on weapons isn't very hard. I gave the pistol a second zoom level of 8x. You just need the HMT plugin templates to find the offsets.
