  • Well, I actually managed to successfully find the offset this time in Hex Workshop, but the only thing you forgot to mention in the part about finding the Offset is that you have to flip the values as you write them down (As in making 46E8 to E846). But other than that, this should be real helpful for just about anyone now. :D
