Mod:Hex Editor

A hex editor (or binary file editor or byte editor) is a type of computer program that allows a user to manipulate the fundamental binary (0 / 1, zero / one) data that makes up computer files.

Dead Rising 2 game calls (requests) certain binary text by line. For example, data/datafile.big/items.txt tells the game what line of code to use for a:
 * character's notebook description (Rebecca's: line 65529),
 * display name above character (Rebecca's: line 50047),
 * character's full name in the notebook (Rebecca's: 81585),
 * Rescue quote (Cinda Smith's: 65424)

Replaced text must be the same number of characters to work.
