Hey all, noob to the forums here (and to hex editing)...I'm editing a game file for Star Trek Away Team. Once I've added an inventory item to another member of the away team (via 'In-place Mode') and exit the program, the game crashes upon launch and I get the following:


'Compressed Zip File Found

Data.DAT has been created using compression. All zip files must be created with compression set to none.'


I keep a backup copy so that I can overwrite the file I keep screwing up & try, try again :-( I've tried simply replacing an already existing item and also tried increasing the inventory item count to allow for the item to be added instead of replacing an item.

Any help/tips as to what to do next would be appreciated. I have tried the help menus and browsed the tabs to try and find out what I'm doing wrong.
