Hi, Dear Friends!

I have a script i got a while ago, but it looks like it was converted to binary - looks like this:

 

I want to make a  slight alteration. Can this be decompiled for editing?

 

Thank you, and have a good day!

Hi @SuzzyFlamingo,

You should contact the script developer. They converted it to binary due to sole purpose that they did not want anyone to look at the code and modify it. Trying to decompile it won't be the correct thing to do.

If there is some pre or post processing to be done for the script executes, let us know we may be able to handle it.
