Binary File Editor FileCarver 1.2 Released

Written by Daniel Lurie | Wednesday, May 02, 2007

Fizzysoft has released version 1.2 of FileCarver, a powerful developer tool for editing binary files. This program allows the user to specify the format of an arbitrary binary file, and from this it will generate a fully-functional GUI to edit files in the format. Using this program for creating editors for game-specific binary files is a huge productivity boost, as creating a fully-fledged file editor is as easy as making a short XML definition of a file format.

What’s new:

• Added 30-day free trial
• Conditional existence for fields
• Arrays terminated by a condition that is true for the last element
• Support for UTF-16 character encoding for string fields
• Arrays of fixed length that also specify the ‘effective’ length
• Values of numeric fields can now be set in hexadecimal
• Added new group display types, ‘collapsed’ and ‘collapsable’
• Added new field type, ‘label’
• Added ‘hidden’ and ‘editable’ attributes to the tag
• Ability to set endianness on a per-file basis
• Improved platform-specific integration
