Save game editing

[raskolnik]

I'll be having a look at the save files when I get home, see what I can figure out. Mind sharing what you've got on weapon slots etc.?

Sure, although there's not much to report. The names of the weapons appear in plain text at offset 680-690, with the names being found in blueprints.xml within data.dat.

I'm pretty sure I've figured out where it saves location data (i.e. the crew member's exact position in the ship). I'll be posting a full list of the values for the Kestrel that will go along with this map:



I plan on figuring out door states next, soon to be followed by a lot of other stuff (i.e. is such and such square on fire? Is such and such square breached?)

Here's the list I've compiled so far (Just missing the ones I need a 4th crew member for):

Somehow search failed to notify me of this thread... I'll post what I have when I'm back on the system with the data

Lest I duplicate your work, do you have crew positions figured out yet?

[Tysonclyde]

I have had a problem with everything. I have tried to change The Kesteral by adding the teleporter and the other thingy by setting it to true in the data.dat folder, but every time I have a crash.

[raskolnik]

I'm pretty sure I've figured out where it saves location data (i.e. the crew member's exact position in the ship). I'll be posting a full list of the values for the Kestrel that will go along with this map:

[...]

I plan on figuring out door states next, soon to be followed by a lot of other stuff (i.e. is such and such square on fire? Is such and such square breached?)

That's awesome. Is this something that's stored in the save file? If so, where?

I'll post what I have so far, and I'll explain what I've figured out on it so far. Here's a typical crew member's data:

Code: Select all

53 63 6f 6f 70 73 05 00 00 00 68 75 6d 61 6e 00 00 00 00 64 00 00 00 e3 00 00 00 7a 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 64 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I'm actually not 100% sure where it ends, but that'll be easy to figure out when I actually try. Now look at this at the start:

Code: Select all

53 63 6f 6f 70 73 05 00 00 00 68 75 6d 61 6e 00 00 00 00 64 00 00 00

That's the name plus some other value I haven't figured out yet. Immediately after is the data for the crew member's current position:

Code: Select all

e3 00 00 00 7a 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I'm not sure yet if the last three 00s are part of the position value or not, still need to test some stuff for that. The e3 is the X coordinate, the 7a is the Y coordinate, and the 07 is which bulkhead they're in (in this case, the square room just left of the med bay). Sometimes the 2nd and 13th values are something other than 00, but I don't know what those ones do, if anything. I'll edit the coordinates I've figured out so far into the post where I put the map.

[arhimmel]

I have started working on an editor, well right now all it does is read some values from the sav files.

Code: Select all

07 00 00 00 56 69 6E 63 65 6E 74

this is from the first information about the crew. the first 4 bytes are the length of the string that follows, which is the name of a crew member. all of the info stated like that. with the length of the field and then the field. before first crew member there is another number which is the number of crew member.

figuring out what each little area of code is a bit more hard because so little of it is actually legible.

ps. I wouldn't worry about the offsets as they change if have a different length field that precedes it.

So then is the 64 00 00 00 in front of all of the positional data the length of the positional data value that follows?

Wonderful, well, seems like this is in far better hands than mine!
