The purpose of this program is very simple: to automate things and make your life easier. If you are one of those who do not want to do bother with any hexaediting of the Hearts of Iron, Hearts of Iron 2. Europa Universalis 2, Victoria or Crusader Kings, this program is probably the right one for you.

Let's have a closer look on it. It consits of two files: program itself and settings.csv file. Last mentioned contains list of known hacks and instructions what these particular hacks alter in the execultable of specific game. You can easily add your own operation there if you discover some.

How do you use this program? Here is one example:

1. After you start it, choose which operation you want to perform. Let's assume we want to apply 1280x1024 resolution hack on Hearts of Iron 2. So you select it from the menu.
2. Then we press the button and select original exe (hoi2.exe) and the file where to dump the output (for example 'hoi2_1280.exe').
3. Program processes the file and message informs you about successful operation
4. You close the program and run newly created 'hoi2_1280.exe' to play Hearts of Iron 2 in higher resolution: 1280x1024.

This tool is just humble automaton, nothing extraordinary. It is fueled by settings.csv file, which makes it really useful and usable. And content of this file is made according the knowledge attained by people of the community. Therefore I want to thank them all for their input.

Check ReadMe.txt to find additional information about applying concrete hacks.

Attention: Always back up your files before you modify them!

When you alter your execultable you are no more eligable for support from Paradox! Do not bother Paradox with problems you might have with altered execultables!
