Re: How do I modify the contents of the achievement.dat file?

"0b" is the entirety of the Value;
"00" is a NULL space
"0e" is the start of the next achivement, which is named "visit-vulcanus" (aka "76 69 73 69 74 ...

However, when I open it, there's the name of each achievement with some random characters and stuff, making it impossible for me to understand how it works.
