Have you tried notepad? I don't remember, but that particular file may be uncompressed.

Hrmm, works fine for me. Maybe I unzipped it at some time? I really don't remember. What DOESN'T work for me, though, is newplayer.fl. It's compressed, and bini won't decompress it (wrong file type). That makes me think that mpnewcharacter.fl isn't compressed. Try wordpad, word, wordperfect, or whatever else you've got.

The file mpnewcharacter.fl was never in compressed format (unlike the majority of the files), and is basically a plain text file with the .fl extension.

Back it up, then go nuts on it...

If i change "money = %%MONEY%%" To something like "Money = 90000000" in the mpnewcharacter.exe file, will that change my MP character's money? or is that not allowed to be changed?

BINI ­   ?  ?  ?  ‡  “ ) ­ / ß ú 9    A ++ L - W  \  d Ð j    r ) / 3 9  ?
