Greetings :)
So, you know how there are 20 chat txt files in your GameData, right?
those are created whenever you join a multiplayer game. so, let's say that you reached the limit of 20 txt files but you're gonna play with a few friends and wanna keep the ingame chats just so you can look back to that day, however you reached the limit of 20.
so what will you do in order to remove the 20 chat limit?
it's pretty easy. you can either download the exe file I posted here or you can hex edit the files yourself using this easy and simple tutorial:

the reason as to why I think others might like this idea is because some people, such as myself, like having these chat txt files :)
if you need any help with hex editing, there is the tutorial video above or you can just ask me :) Enjoy!!

A friend and I were trying to do something with cheat engine recently and ended up discovering something else unrelated to what we were trying to do...

I don't know why, but my AV detected the .exe file as a trojan virus for some reason.
1: I trust the file, but when I try to use Gameranger to connect to a BF2 server, this one doesn't work. But when I use the original, it does work.

That's why we listed the things to edit manually. You can get a free hex editor app like HxD and do the mods yourself.

Well, when this comes up to HxD and when I enter the values that he entered, it says "Can't find."

In HxD the offset find tool is ctrl+g.

I found it, but after creating the new one with the changed chat limit code. I still get the issue where I can't connect to Gameranger online SWBF2 servers.
U might be using the swbfspy patch
