[TOOL] XRSaveEditor v03b

stk25 · Post by **stk25** » Sun, 17. Nov 13, 19:42

Make sure to backup your saves before using this tool! I'm not responsible for any loss of data caused by using it!

If you encounter any bugs please make a post in this thread explaining what happened, preferably including a link to the savegame you tried to edit

Features:
- Save info editor, can edit the save name and date
- Player details editor which lets you edit your name, money and location (changing ship location isn't implemented yet though)
- Game details editor, can edit the game version, build, time played and original version
- Extension editor to remove extensions from the save
- Faction editor, right now only allows you to edit faction relations
- Entity editor, very WIP, only lets you view some of the ingame entities stored in the save

UPDATE: v03b
Fixed a bug with non-english locales, it's a temp fix though

UPDATE: v03a
Fixed a small bug with saving leftover from debugging

UPDATE: v03
Changelog:
- Added extension editor, only allows removing right now
- Added faction editor, very WIP, atm you can only edit faction relations with it
- Added entity editor, nowhere close to being finished, right now you can view a list of entities (but not all of them, I need to do more research..)
- Fixed Exit button not exiting (thanks to smeggysmeg for reporting!)

v03 requires .NET 3.5, v02 only needs .NET 2.0

To remove extensions right click on the extension and press delete, you can also select multiple ones and delete them.

To change relations choose a faction in the faction editor, right click the faction in the relations section and press edit faction, you can also multiselect factions to change. If you only have one faction selected you will be prompted whether you want to edit that factions relation with your selected faction instead.

Old readme:
This is just a simple tool I cooked up to make editing your money easier, I don't really condone cheating but seeing as people want to cheat I may as well help them not mess up

Pros:

No more XML editing
No more worrying about editing the wrong value
Simple to use

Cons:

Highly untested, only tried it with my saves
No error checking, make sure you only try to open save files
Very basic, I plan to add other features (like removing extensions) soon

Editing money will also edit all the other values to do with money too, quick and painless

Many profits to you.

It looks good.

However, File - Exit does not appear to work.

Any chance of adding editing of player owned property?

not adding ships from scratch bit editing existing ones, in terms of crew, cargo etc, it could be a fuctional workaround for the Fatal error bug that occurs when occasionally buying ships, if possible.

Oh yeah forgot about that, thanks for letting me know. It'll be fixed in the next release

Sure it should be possible, I haven't got far enough in the game to really mess with ships yet though (damn 100 energy cells

)
If I could get some example saves of before change & after change I should be able to work something out

If i can manage to actually get some of ships working i'd be happy to help, although an easy fix to find the variable should be to simply create a save just before you dock to add a captain to the first cargo ship in the plot and then another after the captain was added, it should work for a basic comparison, then possibly just before loading energy cells into the ship and just after (if it loaded at all)

is a guide for manually editing save games and some other "in-game" workarrounds. Also contains guides for editing ships' cargo and drones

Any chance of adding these edits to the editor?

Thanks a lot for your work so far. it is much appreciated

Ah thanks for the link, I'll take a look through that tomorrow.
I already got some ship editing code started (screenshot), it was funny moving all the ships (+ my own) to {0,0,0} and seeing everything crash into each other

I don't think I managed to detect all the ships in the save though.. e.g. If I moved all of them except the players there were still some stations in my sector, not sure why they weren't moved, this might take a while

An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue. the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue dee. If you click Quit, the application will stop immediately.

The format of the input string is incorrect

Oh and I play the game in French, sorry for the language, I'm French.

Well that's strange, it must be saving the faction relations wrong...
If you open your save directory there should be a .bak backup file there, just delete the .xml for the save and change the .bak to be .xml
If you could rar/zip and upload the .bak file too I can try to figure this out, doesn't seem to be happening with my saves

Weird, I thought the saves would be the same between languages... Could you upload yours too for me to test?

mario5102 · Post by **mario5102** » Tue, 19. Nov 13, 21:02

save_002.xml.zip - 4.3 MB

Here the .bak and .XML file.[/url]

I tested the quick save and save 01 and so is this crash.
I saw that the game is spent in 1.14 is it possible that this is the problem?

Are these the saves that crash it? They seem to load and save fine for me

Nah don't think so, 1.14 saves work fine for me

So v03 still crashes when you try to the load the .bak?
