Well I've known how to mod metas for a while...and swaps...but that's about it. I'm not a "new" modder, I'm just one who hasn't modded in ages.

Heh, no you don't? why would you say that. Calculator is the answer to that, or just understanding binary>>hex is even better. 1 0 0 0 is 8 in decimal, also 8 in hex. 1 0 0 1 1 is 19 in decimal, 13 in hex.

O.O. If it's for Mac, do you most posting a Download link? And, does it also convert Binary to Hex, or in your case Bytes?

Why pay 15 dollars for it when you can use Calculator...and....when it takes about 10 lines to write it...

First of all.....

Open it up :D
Do Command (apple key) + 3 to get into programmer's mode. Then, you should see hex values and stuff. You might have to click the hex button...
Then....if it isn't already opened...click "Show Binary"....
Then type in a byte, and it should work....you will see the binary change and stuff. You can also click on the binary and watch the byte value change.

I'm trying to remove fall damge but I don't know which plugin to edit.
I went under the jpt! plugins but I couldn't find anything that said something like fall damage.
What plugin do I use to do it?

I don't think you get plugins. They are for editing meta. You're not going to see anything for specifically FALL damage, but you will see something called "damage". So, you need to, in the offset list find fall under damage, then add whatever it is to that meta.

It's just a bitmask. It's in the bipd.xml plugin file. I believe it's the 25th bit. So the number should be 84. If I'm wrong, correct me please.

I'm on my PSP again, just to keep from gettin' in trouble; I'm not suppose to be on my computer. XD.

Good job Syp lolz. It is the 25th byte, but i believe that bitmask is 02 02 00 00....so there's no way it would be 84 after the change......I can't quite remember.....it's a bit confusing with the little endian and stuff......oh well.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but bitmask changes are like binary swaps?
Back in Black (& White).
And every other color in the light spectrum perceptible to the human eye, typically those ranging from 400 nanometers to roughly 700 nanometers in wavelength.

I have a problem guys. My hexeditor wont allow me to change the binary. The binary code is there but it is like unselected if you know what I mean. I can't select or change it either.
