[Request] How to use hex editors properly and various ways of finding values

[LittlJ]

I'm just curious as to how to properly use Hex Editors such as HxD, because though there are tutorials out there for many different games, there aren't many in depth run-throughs on how to use one rather than trying to use a mod tool. And i ask about the various ways of finding the values because i know like when using cheat engine on the computer, you sometimes have to multiply the value by 8, or add 2, or something like that, and i was wondering if the case was the same with hex editors in some instances.
I'd also like to know how people go about finding the value locations for various games and how they record its location for future referencing in save editors (ie. finding the gold value location and then using it to make a save editor and incorporating it into a script)
But yea if anyone would mind helping me out with this that'd be great! thx!

Did you already look through this:

It had a lot of useful information for me, I don't know if everything you asked for is in there though.

You should also probably post future "requests" in the request section.
