Post Body

I realize that I'm asking about modding a 20 y.o. game when there is a sequel, but I think I'm in the right place.

I was playing around with MW4eXtractor and found the blackmarket and salvage files. I want to edit these and play around with what's available for salvage\sale. I found out that I can swap one mech in the market for another one with a hex editor, but only if their names are the same length. I haven't been able to understand the salvage file.

Does anyone have a resource for editing these, or maybe a description of their format?
