(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey Guys, Just thought i would explain why you are probably getting errors saving your patch and your ps3 is not loading it. Patches are Compressed not Encrypted. When you outzip the patch and get the offsets for your section you want to mod. Lets use rank.gsc for example, it is in 0002cbcc.dat for COD4. When you wont to mod the section you save it as a .gsc. Before doing that you should understand that each outziped section is 64KB. If this size is changed then your ps3 will not read the patch properly. at the begging of each offset there is a #include code that tells the .dat that that section is compressed and should stay at 64KB but when you edit and save the size will change witch will change the size indicator. What you want to do is not have that happen so before saving the file as a .gsc and modding it take the 3 size indicators at the begging and keep them in a separate hex file a .dat and after you mod and add the gsc back to the .dat file you would over wright the size indicators with the old one. Tricking the .dat and it should still be 64KB. Then you can packzip them back to the .ff and you should be good.
