Whenever a file has a text field in it (i.e. a Death Variable, an item ResRef in inventory, a script), it's in ASCII. And that's about all there is to it.Bear in mind that sometimes text fields are more than 8 bytes (ARE structure is the best example), which means that a single READ/WRITE_ASCII statement can't cover it.
WRITE_ASCII 0x280 ~SomeDeathVariable~The "Write_Ascii stuff is totally new to me ". I'll give it a try but can you point me to one of the established tutorials so I can understand what I'm doing with this?
