    Hey, is there any way to manually edit the oxide.groups.data file. I know you can do this through commands but we wish to actually modify it in a way that is not possible through commands. If you can tell me the name and version of the protocol buffer editor used in the creation of oxide, I would really appreciate it too. Thanks in advance.

    The commands are the only supported way. You can use any protobuf editor, protobuf-net is the library used, but they aren't supported. You could always write up a plugin to handle modifying the permissions, the commands are not the limit of it.

    Cheers, is the library used protobuf-net r668? The downloads seem quite dated...

    They're all pretty much the same, shouldn't matter.

    Thanks, if I have any problems, I'll msg you :D
    [DOUBLEPOST=1470248416][/DOUBLEPOST]Ah we're having problems decoding the data file now, do you know how we could do this/could you supply a decoded file? Thanks.

    So apparently, no proto editor can open the .data files but a c# editor can... I know it's not supported but this is so odd. Does anyone know a program that can actually open this file? The c# editor doesn't fully open it but it's got a lot further than any proto editor I've tried has.

    PS: Please don't mark this as solved until I can confirm the file has been correctly opened. Thanks.

    We do not support this method, so you're on your own for it. ;)

    There are Protobuf editors that work with it though.

    Ok thanks for being so helpful. If you know any other way to do callback procedures without accessing this file, feel free to let us know.

    You can use the API from Oxide to handle it via plugins, extensions, sync it with databases, other commands, and even export it as JSON if you need to use it elsewhere.

    It's ok, I'll just try tons of eclipse plugins until I can brute force the file. Thanks for the protobuf editors idea but I can't seem to find any good ones.

    Ah I managed to get into it with notepad++ you can mark this as solved now. Thanks :)

    I'd be careful editing it like that, not a standard text file.
