HexInsert 1.1 - SFX replacement without a hex editor

HexInsert is a very simple Java program to replace portions of a file with the contents of another file. It was made for SFX replacement in smashbros_sound.brsar, so people don't have to use hex editors anymore.
You can edit the Offsets.txt with lines in the format:
If you omit the "x" before the number, it will be treated as a decimal value.

The program will ask for a file to "Open" (and start in My Documents, which I might change once I figure out how.) It now starts in the directory that the .jar is in. (This is the only change in 1.1 IIRC.) Choose the smashbros_sound.brsar you want to replace. It will then ask "are you sure?" It modifies the file you choose directly - you should probably make a backup first.

HexReplace is a cool name, but you should have called it "AboutDamnTime"

I'm VERY happy to see this finally made. Awesome job! ^_^b

~~nvm~~
I will try to use it on PAL soundpack.

Jaklub's program actually converts the .wav files for you. Mine just inserts hex data, but it could potentially be used for many things.


I never understood what the "fix" with the 32 bytes was. Could someone explain it to me, and also why it isn't needed for, say, the Mewtwo pack?

Updated to 1.1. I just made it so that the program's "Open" dialog starts in the folder with the .jar.

Okay, tested it on PAL smashbros_sound.brsar. Inserted kwrk85's King sounds. Works.

Great job with the tool.

Is there a tutorial or something for this because im not really sure how or what im meant to add/edit in order to use this.

I tried inserting Mewtwo's SFX and it didn't work. My Brawl disc is really screwed up and that may be the problem (Japanese voices work with few characters and only occasionally even though I have the full brsar and sometimes vertex hacks don't work) so I'll try getting it buffed and see if that works.

You could try copying the .brsar, editing one manually (with a hex editor) and the other by using HexInsert, then checking their md5sums. They should be the same.
