BinaryWriter Help Needed

I have some code which reads a binary file. But I don't have the code that writes the binary file. But I suppose you can kinda just reverse the process.

Here is the class I am working with:

PHP Code:

The code at the bottom is my useless attempt in writing a binary file out of the data I have read from another. Simply just trying to duplicate the file for now, then I will modify its data,

I then have some lines which first reads a binary file into memory, and then it writes that data down with my method and then it tries to read the new file. I am stepping the code to see where it fails and it does that nearly directly. The only thing I know is working atm is the first write, the RANK_VERSION. Because it reads it as 11 (can you even fail on that step?).

But at the next step, the name part it fails.

Anyone that can have a look and tell me how to at least write the strings correctly? :wave:
