coolrecep Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi, I need some help on editing iOS save file of mine from iOS. I have attached my save file. And this is the last state of the game in the save: I have dug through the topics and learnt that iOS version uses zlib for compression but have no idea about how to to extract, alter, decompress and fix the CRC. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hm. Well, since none of the code divers have responded, I'll pass along the "not so good" news. Only one person has reported even partial success with editing save game files (Bokauk of ToolBoks fame), and she is no longer around. So there is no simple, step-by-step guide to help you, nor anyone who is (to my knowledge) even working on the subject. If you have the skill set to try to work it out on your own, I can point you to some articles and tools that get you started. But it's going to take quite a bit of investigative work at the hex code level. But first of all, I would be looking into why you have a bad CRC in the first place. That usually indicates the file was corrupted when saved to disk. Run a "disk check" to find and fix any bad sectors. Then by far the easiest solution is to try using a previous save. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolrecep Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Thank you for your help. I have JB'ed my device. Installed GameGem Launched XCOM and noted money. Launched Gamegem, selected XCOM and searched for the value. Came up thousands of results. Went back to game and made some buying. Back to Gamegem, did a second search and voila! Only two results! Edited the amount and now I have 20.000 bucks :smile:Never been so easy! Edited January 14, 2015 by coolrecep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Glad to hear you found a solution that works for you. For the benefit of lurkers, GameGem is what is often called a "trainer" app (for IOS), that makes alterations directly to the memory space of the running game. Changes made are only temporary until the game is saved. They then persist in the save game files. WHAT can be changed depends upon the app. Technically they are "memory editors", but close enough for most people. There are similar apps for the PC (see the thread "Save Game Editor"). Haven't heard about any mentioned here for the Mac or Linux, but assume they exist. Edit: Oh, and "JB'ed my device" means "jail broke" his phone, which enabled him to install "non-standard" apps and breaks the terms of the license agreement with his cell phone provider (the "jail"). Adding starting funds can be done by editing the DefaultGamecore.INI (DGC.INI) file, as laid out in the "How to DIY common mod solutions" wiki article. However, it is still necessary to "enable INI loading", which requires hex editing the EXE file. What little information we have about this on IOS devices is contained in the "Basic Guide to installing mods" wiki article. We would be happy to include any further information IOS users can provide. -Dubious- Edited January 14, 2015 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
