All the other things such as practicality aside, this is an amazing post all around. The content is interesting even to someone like me who doesn't really care for modding games or has no more than very bare experience with decompilers and dealing with hex editors. Writing is a great balance between too dry and too verbose or "edgy". The material is super accessible, and it progresses at a very smooth and steady pace. What started with basic debugging ended up in digging through decompiled code and mapping characters for the fixed path manually to preserve the character count in the .inx file. I swore I was going to only read the intro and read the rest in the morning, but ended up gulping up the whole thing in one go :(
