how do u edit a .dll file

[IZZO]

i need to know how to edit a .dll file.. i need to change one word in a file. i tryed to change it with notpad and even a c++ program editor but after changing it it doesnt work so i put it back to what it was first and then it still would not work so i was thinking it must be becouse the way i was saving it must not br right or it takes a program that is made just for editing .dll


im trying to do this becouse this one word is a comand in a game that anyone in the game server can type and restart the hole game over so i want to change the comand to somthing the people dont know. it has been done before some one made a fix for it they changed one letter in the command but then put it in a public download and some one downloaded it and went through the hole script and found the new command and told every one the command again so i want to change it to somthing else if some one could help me do this it would be helping me and 100's of other people that are trying to play this gmae but some dumb ass wants to restart the server 1000 times intell everyone leaves then they move on to the next game server

I've successfully done binary edits with the SciTE editor. Google for windows binary editor and quite a few will turn up.

couldn't you hex the thing too?
It would be awesome if somebody made a decompiler. It would take a ton of work, and would probably get someone sued, but it would be awesome if you could decompile and application into c++ or java, or something. Lowlevel to highlevel.

There are plenty of disassemblers around that will handle all kinds of file formats but then moving from the assembler source to a higher level language is a "non trivial" exercise. It's a lot easier if you know the compiler that generated the object modules, though. I used to be pretty good at recognizing the output from various C compilers and early Turbo Pascal but it gets harder as compilers get better.

yeah so if you know what compiled it you can basically take their algorythm and do the opposite.
