I’m trying to edit a steam game save file but when i go through steam and open the save file it’s full of weird characters and none of it is making sense. I’ve downloaded notepad ++ and it’s the same in there. All the game save files are the same. Is it because I have wemod or plitch in the game. [photo of notepad][1] Can anyone help me to fix it or decrypt it? I’m running windows 10. ()

Why don't you see binary code when you open a binary file with text editor? For example, when I open an image with text editor, I see some weird characters and also some human readable characters; but the image should be encoded in binary.

I am working on a 2d side-scrolling pc game that uses SFML game library. The problem that I am not able to solve is that in many keyboards combination of three or more keys (like w + d + k) is not working. Is there any way to solve this issue?

Pages has crashed, my file is now corrupted and I'm trying to get the text from this file.  if I Right click on the file > Show package content > open index.zip , I can see a bunch of .iwa files which seems to contains my original text, especially "Document.iwa".  If I "$ nano Document.iwa" (because "$ file" only returns "data") I can see some of my text, but the overall seems crypted.  Does anyone know how to decode/read this kind of .iwa file or recover corrupted files?

As part of the program I wrote, I constantly read and write data from files. I noticed that as part of doing so, I am inadvertently creating swap .swp files.  What do you think is going on? What would cause swap files to appear if you had to reproduce the problem?

I have some files that Ubuntu can't read it ( ANSI encoding ) but Windows can read it well.  When I open it in gedit or notepad++ it seems like this :     Êã ÇáÊÍæíá áÜÜ   How can I make Ubuntu read ANSI encoded files well?

I am working with batch files in Windows, using both Notepad, and Notepad++. When I run the batch files, which all start with @echo off, I see the first line (when running on two separate machines) reading ´╗┐@echo off, and then all the REM lines below it appear as well.  I have tried changing the encoding in Notepad++, but it claims they are already at UTF-8 encoding, which appears to be correct.  What do I need to do to get these files to run properly?

Here is what the bottom of my "leaflet" content type edit form (i.e. admin > structure > content types > leaflet > edit) looks like:   Here is what the bottom of my "testimony" content type edit form looks like:   Note that there are no save/delete buttons! Another of my content types has also now picked up this bug. This just happened. I have no idea why. I can't save changes! I tried flushing all caches and it didn't help. I'm an administrator and I have permissions for everything.  Why would this have happened and what can I do? Drupal 7.19.

I decided to open a file instead of saving it, made lots of changes saved many times, but when I closed it, I realised I couldn't find it anymore.  I'm hopping the file is still here, but can't find it anywhere. Is there any way I can recover this file?  PS: it seems the file should be still there somewhere, because if I re-open the original file from the page it puts the "[2]" in the end of it, which could mean it conflicted with some original file.

I'd like to switch between two Steam accounts (from the same windows user account) without having to re-enter their passwords. So basically I am trying to write a batchfile which takes care of the relevant files and/or registry settings, but for that I need to know     Which files and registry settings change when logging in as another user?   Obvious bonus points for providing a batch file for that task.

I sometimes see weird characters on some websites instead of what they're meant to display. I've attached an image below as an example. In IE the site displays correctly but on Chrome there are weird characters instead.  My encoding settings on Chrome are set to Auto detect/Unicode UTF-8. I've tried reinstalling all my Windows default fonts too but no success.  Does anyone have a fix for this? Most solutions I've looked at haven't been successful

Ok I just royally screwed up my /var folder's permissions.  I thought I was inside /var/www and did a chmod xxx ./* on the parent folder /var instead.  Now all the permissions inside /var are messed up. What can I do to correct it?

I am almost complete developing a small indie-style multiplayer game. While I intend to allow people to cheat in single-player, this is obviously not acceptable in multi-player. Does anyone know of any ways to help stop the average Joe from using something like Cheat-Engine to modify parts of the game? I currently plan to have the client upload a MD5 hash of each setting file the game uses (stored as an XML) to the game server for verification every few seconds, but is there anything I can do to stop things like memory-editors, etc?

In Magicka, you and your "wizard bros" have a saved, progressed multiplayer game.  You have the M60 from chapter 3 (I think, just got into this game) and when you come back, the players are wiped from the game instance (IP game / private). Is there anyway to spawn this item? Somehow with a Steam update we lost character data in our game. We still had all the usual robes we were always accessible to - however our host lost his sword, I lost my beloved M60 (best item in the game IMHO) and another player lost their off hand.  We crossed a chapter point then "called it a night because we're all married old men". However, I'm a child when it comes to my M60.  Any thoughts / suggestions?

I have a file named file.txt with some contents located in /home/myuser directory and I change the permissions of that file to root.root and 644.   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.4K Jan 15 07:09 file.txt   Then I switched to myuser and opened it with vim(without sudo) and tried to edit and save it :wq! and I got output like:  "file.txt" E949: File changed while writing Press ENTER or type command to continue   Then I hit enter and then again :wq! and the output was :  WARNING: The file has been changed since reading it!!! Do you really want to write to it (y/n)?   I hit y, the file got saved and exit from vim.  The question is why a file with ROOT privileges and read-only access for a user changed by the way?  PS: 1. myuser is a sudo user.   The user permissions after saving the file changed to myuser.myuser as well.  -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser myuser 1.4K Jun 27 18:57 file.txt

So with the Steam Summer Sale in full swing, I've finally taken notice of the Steam Mascots.  Judging by the latest background, the black one, at least, has a name: Cyl.  Do the other two have names as well? Are there only these three?   What's their story?

I just read the answers to  and everyone said to delete the last character. My question is,  isn't the eof character the last one?
