Help modifying a mod pack

[The_Thickness 0]

So im working on a mod pack for a friend trying to modify some capacity's for certain items and when i try to edit the config.bin file all i get is a bunch of random characters and I cant figure out how to modify the values or how to view the file the correct way

 

For example of what i am talking about -  raP       Qà    CfgPatches Ä

First, this post should be over in this part of the forums - https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/forum/162-arma-3-addons-configs-scripting/

 

Second, you can’t directly edit  bin file, but need ‘de-bin’ it. Then you can save it as a config.cpp file and edit away.

 

if this is yours or your friends file, not only should they be able to give this in a cpp format, they should know this. If this isn’t your mod, make sure you’re not stepping over any lines in regards to the original mods creator(s) and their work. I would head over to this part of the forums to learn more about creating mods - https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/forum/162-arma-3-addons-configs-scripting/
