drones save edting

[fredddd]

is it possible to remove all those zombie drones in some sectors by removing them in the save file?

Would love an answer to this too. I'm sure it's possible by cutting them out one by one, but a script or something that would do that cleanly would minimize possible screw-ups due to human error. Have a v2.5 era empire that I'd love to resuscitate.

we need a save editor 'cleaner' to fix this and other silly problem.
Last week my savegame was increased size.. 40mb to 230mb. loading and save time are increased to 5min... i open the save and found the problem. a lot of lines like this

Code: Select all

<events>
<event event="killcheck" time="166393.239"/>
<event event="killcheck" time="166393.239"/>
<event event="killcheck" time="166393.239"/>
<event event="killcheck" time="166393.239"/>
[...] 324324 line after
<event event="killcheck" time="166393.239"/>
</events>

this in many point, i found a way to use notepad++ to remove this, but i lost an hour and on my first try i broken my save...
