Is it possible to edit .fl files for Multiplayer character s

I run a server and I would like to know if there is any way I can tell which saved account folder belongs to which person and what their character names are.

If there is a program for it, a name or link would be most helpful

Thanks very much for your help.

A Hex editor program like UltraEdit-32 which you can get at the shareware sites
such as download.com

So far I've had no luck doing what you're looking to do, decipher the information in the .FL files that are your saved games.

Viewing the data in a hex editor only gives a more detailed look at the gobbily gook that makes up the file.

I'm sure something like an encryption or compression method is being used to make the file difficult to view.

If anyone knows of a utility that makes it easy to view and/or edit what's in these .FL save-game files, please point us in the right direction. :-)
