Replace Script... (command Script/Replace Script...)


This command is used to replace a script in the form of bytes to the current file. In the dialog you can choose the start offset where the replacing begins (the byte at that offset is the first to be replaced). You can also choose the offset where the replacing should end or you can keep replacing until the end of the script is reached.

If the command is chosen without a selection, then the values in the dialog will be set so that the byte at the current offset will be replaced.

You have the option of dumping a script using "Separated-byte Format" (If you read nothing else in this help file, go read about this) or as vanilla text as desired. When replacing scripts, it is important to check appropriately whether this format was used or not on the script file to be replaced. If Separated-byte Format was used, the same left enclosure & right enclosure characters that were used in the dumping of the script MUST be specified (this can be done in Options/Preferences...).

You can also choose whether you want to pad remaining bytes in the range specified with '00' if the script file has been completely replaced before the end of the range has been reached.

Before replacing a script, you may want to use "Script/Optimize Script..." to make the best use of your bytes. After this function has been used, the script has the same property as if you had dumped the script with Separated-byte Format enabled.
