Hex Data Assistance

Is there a list or a table to consult about what hex data edits what in-game?  If it exists, please direct me to it, as I can't for the life of me find anything about it.

Laharl: Here, use this.

I think so?  In WinHex, what Offset values edit what when the hex data following is edited.

Ex.   Offset  0 1 2 3 4...
         02BD9EA0   E1 94 D8 EF...

Is there anything that can tell you what each offset value controls should've been my written question, sorry.  :/

You want a breakdown of exactly what is going on with each number entered?

The Shady Nerd

Yeah, something like that.  Just like a reference to what each offset actually is in-game or something.

First, some definitions:
*Address - the starting location for the hack.
**In this case, the address is 0x02BD9EA0.
*Offset - the bytes of the hack, where 0x00 is the first byte of game data located at the address, 0x01 is the byte immediately after the address, 0x02 is the byte after that, and so on.
**In this case, the offsets correspond like this:
Offset 00 01 02 03
Data   E1 94 D8 EF


Before you ask it, I'll tell you what the prefixes 0x?? and $?? signify - they mean the number or letters (called "strings") after the prefix are in hexadecimal notation.  Google it to find out more.
