Tutorial: Softening Leliana In Your Save Game (In HEX! It's Easy!)

[ltmighty]

Hey, so i just went ahead and changed everything, and after many attempts, it appears my save has been successfully modified! I just had a few questions however: Is it ok that i modified my save after leliana killed Natalie in the valence cloister?

and is there a way to see that the change has been applied or is it only at the end?

Doesn't work for me as I attempt to replace them it says the specified search string was not found even though I founded them earlier by following the steps

I figured it out so I'm gonna post it here to help others who might experience this.Here are the steps:

 

1) Open a save file in the hex workshops

 

2) Use Find to search for whatever is you want to be replace with said flags on the first page in this topic (just type the flag in the find box ....must be False )

 

3) Naturally,it will tell ya that it can't be found.Use the Block Shift Right function,wait for it to load and then use Find again.Repeat until you find it (BIG NOTE: REMEMBER how many times you use the Block Shift Right function as you have to use Block Shift Left EXACTLY the same amount of times when you're done replacing ~I got lucky that they were all there on my 2nd use of Block Shift Right) .Then use Find function again but this time check the Find All Instances thing under Options in the Find pop up

 

4) Now you can replace them. (Remember to leave the option checked Find All Instances when you're searching)

 

5) After you're done replacing, click on the X in the bottom right side,on the far right side of the Find button to clear the searches.

 

6) Use the Block Shift Left exactly how many times you used the Right one and save.

 

7) Edit the new flags in DAI SaveGame Editor precisely as in the tutorial on the first page.

 

:cool: Enjoy a more peaceful Leliana :smile:

so I have 0E8105EDBBB9694DBC4A913ADE0301C5 already in my save so i just made it false and CE01323A17870C4E95283D747263019A was already true. I am only missing DB286CE3E14E2D44964C573E2EB0010C and DADF5B4FCEAAA749AC724875AFD601D6. I want to replace them with the romances for leliana and alistar which are both false. But when I try to do it I get the thing about it not able to be found when i want to replace. This blocks me from being able to replace anything as when it comes up the options are greyed out and when I exit it also close the things for replacing

hi, does anyone know what to do if there is no text in dai save editor? as far as I understand, there are several save types, like quick save, story save and normal one, and I only have text and all the flags when I open the story save, not others

also it keeps corrupting every time I make changes to it, and if I try to open other saves directly in hex workshop I can edit them, but there is no difference in game, and I cannot verify the flags in dai save editor because as I said there is no text in any of the boxes

First - I have to say, ALL THESE YEARS LATER, I LOVE YOU flairtorc

And - for anyone who has tried this and been unsuccessful, do NOT give up.  I am a s/w developer [but have never modded DAI before]...   I thought I knew everything and just breezed through the tutorial.  THREE TIMES, and like the post above, the save editor did not seem to like my save, after  I had made the changes with HEX Workshop.   One thing that always bothered me, in those first three attempts, was that the final blockl-shift-left actions happened instantly  - no waiting.  Odd, right?  Turns out - I was leaving the final value that i had substituted [16-bit value from the looks of it] HIGHLIGHTED after I made the final replace.  So - when I was LEFT-SHIFTING back, it seems like it was probably just left-shifting the selection.  UGH.  IMPORTANT  after making the last replacement, scroll up again and place the cursor at the beginning of the file, THEN do your reverse (LEFT) shifts.  The same number as you had right-shifted.

My save took SEVEN shift-rights and SEVEN shift lefts... a lot of waiting.   Finally - when I saw that the left-shifts were taking a few seconds, I knew it was working finally.  

 

AND - that fixed save file SOFTENED my Leliana!    I am so grateful for this page.  IT DEFINITELY WORKS.  Don't give up too quickly.

I hope that you are happy and doing well - my positive vibes go out to you, flairtorc

Hi I hope it's not too late to seek help, but I understand the guide is only for softening her pre-quest. What about after? I just finished the well of sorrows and starting over from a save before completing her quest would not be ideal. Is there a way to soften her in my situation?
