What you'll need:
-Any game that saves locally
- .Minerva

That's it. 

Downloads:
- .Minerva
 
Step One:
Stp 1

A game - Done

Step 2.
Do something in game, such as finish a level or buy something so that it saves.

Step 3. Make sure to close the game before editing values, as the .sol won't show up and you'll be confused.

Locations -
Non-Chrome:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Macromedia\Flash Player\Random #'s and Letters\**and one of the following**

assets.kongregate.com
chat.kongregate.com

Chrome:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects\Random #'s and Letters\**and one of the follwing**


Step 4.
Open the file and edit to what ever extent you want and then save it


Step 5.
Load up the game and reap the rewards of your .sol editing :D

Edit: It seems that when my screenshots got mirrored to KongHack, the ?1 messed up the links and broke them...
Until I get bothered to fix them, lets pretend :D

Edit 2: Fixed

When i edit values in a game named Idle Mine and then click "save" at the top right corner next to the "Save as" button and then open the game the values change back to normal. Is there a way to permanently save those values?

tell them to close the game before doing sol hacking or they'll ask why it is not working over and over

Hehe thank you :D. One more question: Are there any easy ways of finding the game i'm looking for. Atm i go into the "Gamez" file and i manually start clicking on every number to see if i can find the right file =)

A very easy game to edit the .sol file is http://www.kongregate.com/games/Tukkun/anti-idle-the-game
You can find the corresponding .sol file by (if I remember correctly) using the "Favorite" button.

For Anti-Idle, the link is www.kongregate.com/accounts/Your Username/favorites?game_id=66881

All we need is the 66881

The first 6 would be the folder it is inside of "gamez" -> 0006
The 6881 would be which folder inside of 0006 

So chat/assets.kongregate.com > gamez > 0006 > 6881.

Simple already explained you. Use the fav button

I use this AoB tool to make all the AoBs I post. Try the online version if you dont feel like downloading it.

Yeah i guess that works. Sometimes i just don't find the game file. Do you know if it can be stored anywhere else than in the chat.kongregate.com or assets.kongregate.com?

@_______ I already hacked Anti-Idle but right now i'm trying to find the file for a game called "Viking clan" but i can't find it anywhere.

I tried looking for changes, but I got bored after about 10 lines having nothign changed...It's all saved in hex values. By the pattern, I'm guessing the end of the file is the level data because it's so repetative for a while.

That's not saying it's saving to that file, it's saying that data is being downloaded from Amazon's servers onto your computer.

You know, with notepad++ there's a compare plugin. Open two files you would like to compare and it will highlight the differences. You can get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-compare/files/latest/download.

To install, copy ComparePlugin.dll into the plugins directory C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins
