Devanstator Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 --------- Edit tk102: If you are looking at this thread, you may want to look here instead. --------- Hey, everyone. I recently finished programming a modding application that automatically alters your save files. It's quite versatile and can change any feats, force powers, skills, attributes, experience or credits. Also, there are some feats that you can't get in-game but that they used for NPCs. It's nothing really fancy, but I made it from scratch. You can check it out at http://www.kmu.web1000.com . Just make sure you read the readme.

eidospsogos Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 My friend you are a GOD!!!! i haven't tried it out yet, but my thanks, and everyone else's is already given you for even attempting this!! No more hex-editing!!!! woohoo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 would there be anything for you to gain in knowing the way to hex-edit your savegame files? because if this would help you in figuring out how things are stored at all then here is a link going over some pretty basic stuff. this may be of no help at all, but i thought it couldn't hurt. http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=3379&topic=11597572 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devanstator Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 Yes, I was just taking a look at that, thanks. There's some interesting stuff there; I'll keep it in mind when I'm writing the full (non-beta) version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Can't wait to try this out in a few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Baster Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 The Devanstator Good job. Maybe you will create util fro erxtract *.rim files. This is very necessary for modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontlikegeorge Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Does anyone have problems accessing the site? The Flash "movie" won't load... I have Flash Player 5 and a cable modem connection... am I just unlucky enough to try and access the site when it doesn't want to use bandwidth? Would you happen to have a non-flash site to go to, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 i don't have any trouble with it myself. not really a flash movie, as much as maybe a flash interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devanstator Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 I made the site using flash 6, that's why. Just a minute, I'll add some more html pretty quick here. Or you could get the latest flash player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devanstator Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 There, it's not a whole html site, but you can still download the application if you don't have and can't get flash player 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 hey, devan.....having a little trouble with ingame feat recognition. i'm in the ebon hawk as stated in the readme. the program recognizes the feat i say i have. i swap out the one's i don't want with one's that i do want. but when i load the game nothing has changed at all feat wise. when i re-load your program it tells mke i have the feats just as i modified them with the program last, but the game will not show them. just thought i'd let you know. i should probably email this though.

Devanstator Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 Eidospsogos, I think I may see your problem here. I replied to your email about it. Hope it works now, but if not then you can write me back. I'm sure it's a problem in the save directories... Anyways, let me know how it works out.

krauterian Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Please post the possible fix here, Dev. I'm having the same problem as eidos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 well the possible fix mentioned, is not possible in my case. it was merely suggested that i had put the kmu exe file into one savegame folder and was loading a game from a different folder. but that's not possible because i have only one savegame.

Urazhil Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I'm getting redirected from http://www.kmu.web1000.com to http://www.web1000.com everytime I try to access the site! Does anyone know why? Or must I realy sign up to access the Page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 i could not tell you as i have no idea why that would happen. i have never had that happen to me. i would not think you should have to sign up for anything, but i do not know.

Urazhil Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Anything about that im not from the US or something? Could somebody mail me the file to webmaster@veirus.de plz ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 sure, i'll mail it to you. let me know if you get the feat thing working. because i can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phönix Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Hi, I'd also be very interested in trying your editor out (after playing the game through twice, I think some experimentation is in order ), but regrettably, I have got the same problem accessing the website, as Urazhil has. I've tried accessing it roughly twenty times and only once was not relayed, but even then the page would not load. It could indeed have something to do with nationality, but I do not know. I would really appreaciate it, if somebody could mail me the programm, as well (pretty frustrating to know the programm has to be there, but being unable to access the website). My mail adress is: e-mail removed Thanks in advance! With best regards, Lars Wolfrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devanstator Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 The zip file is in your inbox now phoenix. I'm not sure why some people can't access the site, but I know that web1000 have their pages rigged so that you are jumped to their homepage if your browser can't find index.html and it seems to jump the gun sometimes. What can I expect for free web hosting? I'm not sure why location would affect it, I'm from Canada and it seems to work for most people. About the feats problem, I'm working all night on that now. I'm getting lots of great feedback, which is what I need to figure this out. Obviously, the game is capable of creating more diversities than I thought as it works for some people, but not for others. Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming.

Phönix Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Hi IG-64! Thanks for the welcome! I've observed the forum for a while, but have followed my usual behavior of lurking, until this tool came along and it proved impossible to download .

Phönix Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Hi Devanstator! Thank you for the file-per-mail! I'll let you know, if I come across any strange effects. With best regards, Lars Wolfrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I was only briefly a lurker, I just couldn't help but reply to some of the threads, and it turnes out I really liked it and am almost to 1000 posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devanstator Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 Ok, I think I see what's going on for some of you. When I wrote the program I did it solely from my own findings from messing around with the save files. I know that there are several reoccurrences of the same data in the file, almost like it repeats. For instance, the thread at http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genm...&topic=11597572 that was mentioned earlier. I read it, but I don't think it would work all the time because there are quite a few places in the save file where your experience value is kept. However, only one of them will actually change your experience, and all the other ones don't really do anything. It is the same with the feats. Also there are certain constants that are in the files to indicate certain values. For instance, a feat is always preceeded by an 8B or 8F depending on whether you have been to dantooine or not. This is the reason for the question about jedi training. For no apparent reason, the file format just switches up after Taris. I have 4 or 5 different saved games on which I tested the program, all in different stages of the game even to the star forge and all of them worked. I thought I had made algorihms that would work for Every saved game, but I guess not. It would help greatly if I could see your save files. If a few people like Eidospsogos who are having that problem with feats could compress thier SAVEGAME.sav (unmodified) into a zip or rar file and send it as an attachment to removed! (which should allow the large file size) I would be most grateful. I see now that I'm going to have to write a few more robust algorithms and I'd need those files. Yes, we shall get to the bottom of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
