tk102 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 If you're able to extract your save game from your XBox, zip all the files up and email them to me. I don't have an XBox. From what I've seen, it looks like KSE won't need much modifcation to work with KotOR2 savegames.
tk102 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 darth makaan queried: Quote ya know how to edit them? Do you know who author of KSE is? Reminds me of this.
darth makaan Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 i meant if you knew how to edit the Xbox version saves
T7nowhere Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 IF you can extract your saves from the xbox version of tsl, then I suggest you send them to DA MAN that gave meaning to savegame editing.
Darkkender Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 You know the potential this could raise goes beyond just KSE with the savegame info off of the XBOX we could forward this on to Fred as well and have KOTOR Tool ready for the update as soon as KOTOR2 hits the stores for PC.
tk102 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 What T7 said. The knowledge-base of this forum is largely PC based so if there are xbox afficianados who want to make a difference in this forum-- we need to know the directory structures on the xbox for one. Tutorials on how to extract files is another need. Then darkkender's idea could come true.
BountyHUNTER12 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 You'll need a mod chip to access the Xbox's internals and all that. If you do that never try to logon to Xbpx Live, for Microsoft has implemented things to that service when Halo 2 came out. So if you do this(get a mod chip and edit stuff)and go to Xbox Live, you'll be banned from that service.
tk102 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Has anyone heard whether or not the Halo 2 Xbox - Live Ban also extends to those who've modded the Xbox w/o using a mod chip... ?
FunSolo Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 i know someone who tried to "softmod" his xbox and he said the same thing, that you shouldnt do that if you wanna use it. which is kinda dumb, cause the xbox got so much potencial.. specially with the link to the internet.
balaco Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 TK, I can get you the saves you need. I have already looked at them and they are set up the exact same way KOTOR 1 was. There is little difference in the main structure of the PC files of kotor and the xbox except for a few files and of course the executable file so that will not be an issue. I used the ERF editor to mod the save to give me lots of xp and money but there are codes you need to resign an xbox save after it has been modified and of course they are not the same codes kotor 1 used. If there is anybody that understands hex real well and can decipher the algorithim used to generate the key I could get them the files they need to break the algorithm so that xbox users can use modded saves. If you want those files TK I will need your email address.
darth makaan Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 i just need a 16-32mb max drive or action replay
tk102 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 It looks to me like the .sig files are HMAC SHA-1 keyed files. They are 160-bit files (an SHA-1 characteristic). The key is probably a registration key that came with the game or is somehow unique to the Xbox in question.
tk102 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Further update: I'm researching what is required to generate the key for re-signing modified savegames. It is not trivial. I'll keep you informed.
tk102 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Last night I tried a brute force tactic against the savegame.sav file using 5 of by best guesses... but to no avail. No results and the numbers keep chugging. This assumes a single keyed hash on straight data (no hashes of hashes).

The service searches for a mod chip so if you don't have one your ok. You should still search google for information about this,Tk.
tk102 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Ok DK, thanks. I don't own an Xbox, so it's all academic to me.
tk102 Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 KSE v2.2.0 now supports limited Xbox savegame editing. Add/delete of feats/powers/classes/inventory not supported. http://www.pcgamemods.com/9170/
Whitebloodcell Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 You can have a switch on the front of the Xbox which turns off the Mod Chip. This obviously means you have to play originals only and can't do any of the other stuff the Mod Enables you to, but you can play Live without risk of your Xbox being blocked from the Service.
reiella Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Hmm, I'm curious here. Would an Action Replay save be salvagable for this exercise? Near as I can tell it should be the same format as on the box hardware itself. ** Add And if they work, I can provide some TSL xbx saves, (there's also a number of XAR saves available from codejunkies.com or gamefaqs.com if those are usable).
StormSinger Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 I've done a few modded test saves for a guy who does my testing. He has no modded xbox and he uses an AR... they work fine. AR saves are completely salvagable. If anyone needs a save with something specific for info purposes, I can do it, no problem.
Montross87 Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 I downloaded the new KSE and did everything it says to do in the README file, but after editing the save and putting back on my Xbox, it says game save is damaged...This may be a pretty dumb question, but do I need to mod my Xbox for it to work? EDIT: Hey StormSinger im looking forword to your new saves FOR KOTOR II, I heard you were able to equip the rocket launcher on the Main PC? Thats awesome.
tk102 Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 @Montross87 -- just wondering what you tried to edit... there are some limitations due to the fact that only 6 of the 7 sig files could be regenerated. PM me with details if you could.
