I can explain, iv never used this before but iv made my own edits to the file.
Yes it only changes front end, yes the file encryption have changed a few time throughout conquers patch history. So i cant say if this still works. i can recommend other editors iv made a few of them actually.
So basically yes it is possible to change the price of an item, but it will only show what is displayed to you not what it really costs.
In case that is still not clear enough, i will explain a simple purchase:
Firstly you need to know what i mean when i say,
Front end, this is the actual conquer client on your PC.
And Back end is the server.
If you set the cost of an item to 1 gold for example,
Then you buy the item on the front end,
It will display the price as 1 gold,
But when the purchase request gets sent to the back end it sends your chars session ID and the ID of the item and not the price since the back end already knows all the item prices...
The back end gets the item price using the item ID and subtracts the gold from the character who has the session ID received.
Then obviously adds the item to the character if he has enough gold and inventory space.
This is what typically happens on basically every game.
