Fastest way to read and work with a binary file - (Locked)

[Jos]

Ok, Got the full set now and see how it is currently working .... more later

[Jos]

Ok...  had a quick look at the basics and it is the "For $i = 1 To $CharCount " loop that takes all the time, but...

lets start with another question: This all sounds very much like you are processing Game information... 
So I am back to my original question: What is the goal of this script and the new extracted file?

Forgive me, but I am not a gamer, so what does that mean for this not being against our forumrules?

no its a modding tool for game files (my script are only for local files and dont automation anything about game), and its  dont have anything to do with serever and etc

also as you maybe know cd project team are fully ok with modding, they even share some modding tool for working with game files

Don't know what that means.... try explaining it to somebody that doesn't play games and is way over 50.

Fine, BUT I need an answer first that clearly explains that this isn't against OUR forum rules, which means it needs to be explained how that is the case.

OK

In official CD Project site there is a section about mods and modding tool, here is what it say

Mods. We’re happy for you to make mods for our games (i.e. software that modifies or works with our games – e.g. changing the UI or adding new mechanics) so long as it doesn’t breach the relevant game’s EULA (e.g. no cheating – this is especially important for GWENT!). If you want to make a mod for another game or service using our content, or make the mod a standalone product, ask us in advance via legal@cdprojektred.com (we just don’t want the next Soulkiller virus).

Link: https://cdprojektred.com/en/fan-content  --> SECTION 3 > C.Mods

as you can see it said it ok to create software that modifies or works with our games – e.g. changing the UI or adding new mechanics ( and its exactly what my tool gonna do)

Again, I am not interested whether or not they allow it and am only interested whether this goes against our forum rules: 
So...  Is this script part of process that goes against this rule?

Not at all, This script has nothing to do with the game itself

It can only extract and import local files, and script itself doesn't do any interaction with game  (game process, game server and ...)

I am sorry, but I am getting tired of this cat-and-mouse game answers, and have made it crystal-clear I am not simply going to take your word for it,  so for the very last time:
What is done with the output of this script and what is the result for the game? 
...and do not throw any slang, "cool" words or "it is allowed" at me but a proper explanation.

I do not think my words were wrong or vague, And I said only what was needed to say

that all

Ok...  I am done putting energy in this thread...  it could be legit ..or not ... but can't be bothered anymore...

Unfortunately you appear to have missed the Forum rules on your way in. Please read them now - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation - and then you will understand why you will get no help and this thread will now be locked.

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope.
