Hello,
I have been trying to create a program that can read AND edit certain offsets of a meta extracted form a game. So my questions is how would i make the text boxes read thoose certain offsets. I already know all of them but i just need to know how to do this.

Velocity = 0x00
Velcoty - to = 0x04
Variation Area - y = 0x08
Variation Area - p = 0x0C
Local Variation Weight = 0x10
Local Variation Rate = 0x14
Damping = 0x18

If you'd like to contact me, my aim is DuckM45ter (orginal huh

)

-Aaron

edit: also if you knew how to do this in C# that would be great (i wanna learn C# lol)

Once you open the file, you get a FileStream. You can set the Position property to the offset or use the Seek method. Depending on what you are doing, it might help to create a BinaryReader on top of the stream (can get to the original stream via BaseStream to set position). Things are just easier that way

Excuse the code, off the top of my head from memory.

(Toggle Plain Text)

 Dim file as IO.FileStream = io.file.open("C:\test",IO.FileMode.Open)
 Dim reader as new io.binaryreader(f)
 
 reader.basestream.position = 4
 
 reader.close
