General Usage

Save As (No Optimize) is for experimental purposes only and is NOT recommended unless you know what you are doing
-

-
Location: shows the Location of the structure in the file as well as the path to it
The root nodes (also called symbols) inside the DAT file are the only structures that are named.
HSDRaw attempts the guess what kinds of structures are in the DAT, and parses and display accordingly.
- Nodes that appear in Gray are of currently unknown/unlabeled types
Note: They are usually displayed as the relative offset from within their parent Node
- Nodes that appear in Black are identified and usually given a unique icon or a yellow exclamation point
- Nodes that appear in Purple can be double clicked to open in a special editor
Note: When editing a node in an editor, it cannot be expanded in the node tree
Clicking on a Node display its properties in the Property View panel.
You can edit/view their properties here.
Hex view provides a look at the structure in hex.
Note that pointers will be displayed as 00 00 00 00 in HSDraw.
You can poke values of memory here using the poke options to the left. Only recommended to advanced users.
The shared viewport can be used when opening certain Nodes that have editors.
For example opening a coll_data will allow you render/interact with the collision data.
By default it will show nothing but a grid.
