Default Compare two encoded files

Hello,

Is there any tool that compares two "encoded" files: for example two .dat files, or two .sim files... ?

WinMerge does it, sort of, but not in legible "human language", since the files are binary of course. Thus far, the only way I am familiar with for comparisons, is to open another instance of S3D and compare them side by side, by eye, which get rather tough to do if differences are early in the files.

Yes. WinMerge and your powers of observation will do it through two open files in S3D

Thank you for your suggestions!

Precisely, I would like to avoid visual comparison between two S3D open windows, because the files are complexe, and I need to detect some differences in the parameters of particles controllers or gun controllers for example. And the files may contain dozens of such controllers...

You have to make your own; i am not aware of such thing freely available.
If you like C#, skwas, the author of S3D, has done halve of the needed work for you already. See here: https://github.com/skwasjer/SilentHunter

Good luck!
