dreadylein Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 hexeditor would be the first choice, calc the hex values for your decimal values, search for them should be easy but as far as im aware, there is some kind of crc check in it, thats the important thing you have to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiberseptm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 One question though, what am I supposed to open the save files with? Probably a hex editor like: http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ Basically what you have to do is search for known changes in values corresponding to the things you'd like to it and you have to perform the search in binary (the editor can do a lot of the work for you if you're unfamiliar.) Its similar to what you would have to do with a program like CheatEngine if you were to create your own table. For example you note that you have 300 of something and scan the data for corresponding values of 300 at that time. Later you note you now have 400 for that same value in game and so you rescan the same locations and eliminate the ones that have not changed to 400. Its more time consuming to do with save games though because you have to save the game and load the newer file in the hex editor each time you narrow the search; for changing things with a trainer or active memory editing utility you can just alt tab once you've targetted the exe/process. Its easier with save editing though because sometimes the active memory locations for this may change depending on how a game is programmed (can't use this method with Legend of Grimrock for example) while the structure of save game files tends to be far more consistent regardless of how memory allocation is handled.

Jacstar Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Hello am kind of new here.I like the idea of a save editor to transfer squads between games. I looked into the save game with the above hex editor,fount portion of the save dedicated to soldier names(appearance, skill etc).But couldn't find a definite start or end point for the sections believe it starts/ends with aTraversal Was wondering if there was any other reader which could be used.

GioXmen Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) I need the save game editor for an achievment called edison I have missed the sectoid command and it schould be posible to cheat and make so that you would have every reserch.And playing in a new game for 33 hours would be just devastating,it schould be posible to edit if you have a sectoid commander captive also,the game has everything ....loads of cash and etc... so I wouldnt generaly bother using it for cheating purposes,just that one sectoid commander.
