Also, I created a "bookmark" file for HexWorkshop a while ago that automatically structures most of the usermap for you (based on Shade's white paper), cutting the time it takes to mod by a lot.
Usermap Offsets Bookmark File for HexWorkshop
Instructions:
Download here: http://noscopecomics...ge-usermaps.hbk, and place in C:\Program Files\Break Point Software\Hex Workshop v5\Bookmarks\.
Then just open a usermap file (without extracting it using wxPirs) and on the bottom right click the open icon to browse for bookmarks.
A word of warning: these bookmarks are set up for a forge map that begins at offset 0xE000, but occasionally a forge map will start at offset 0xD000. If that is the case, then clearly the offsets will be off by 0x1000.
And now for the structure of the usermap file:
