I need some help regarding the c++ script i wrote it reads normal data as floats from obj file then convert it into byte and inject it into the binary game file but some how the normals data mess will vertices data and in game the vertices explodes without normal injection the mesh works fine in game. Also that normal data is within the vertices section. I have provided pic of the AXE mesh reaper u can see normal starting offset in file as well as face count vertices every info in the image also i have provided the model file as well and my c++ code which only inject normals from obj into the binary file you can check the script and see where my mistake and correct it i will be really obliged, thanks. normal injector.rar Wei_Head.perm.zip

Hello. I would like to share with you my private tutorial links collection. These are useful topics from Xentax, Zenhax and any other reverse engineering related sites that I was able to find in the Internet. I have put them into categories. You may encounter situation when one tutorial fits to few categories, but it is placed only in the category that it fits most. Also, you may encounter tutorials with "[PL]" mark, these are tuts in Polish language. If you don't understand this language, just skip them. Also be aware that I haven't read/watch some of these tutorials yet, so I can't recommend you which tutorial is the best choice, sometimes I'm still learning new things just like you and on this list you may find tuts that are not very useful for you, so don't blame me for that. 🙂 Just pick your favourite category and start learning. If you are complete newbie, I would recommend to start with tuts from category "Basic knowledge". If you have any other good source of knowledge, you can write a comment below and I will update this tutorials collection. Also remember that those links may be dead some day, so don't blame me for that and just make a copy for private use 🙂 So that's it.

Hello everyone. I would like to know where can I start when it comes to reverse engineering game file formats? I'd like to learn the process along with making tools to view a game's file formats and the contents of it (Viewing models, textures and animations). What can you suggest from tips/advice to someone and to those who are completely new to this? What should they be expecting when it comes to getting into it? What do they need to learn from content when diving into it? Any suggestions, tips and advice is welcome (this includes programming languages, Hex editors that are needed to get into reversing, etc)
