Armored Core: For Answer save editor

[Emerald Lance]

HEY!

I no longer own a 360, nor do I have the source code for this editor anymore. I also will no longer be (nor have I been for some time) working on or releasing any mods for the 360. Therefor, all of my editors are on permanent hiatus, including this one. I know I made a lot of grand promises with this editor, and now they will not be fulfilled, and for that I apologize.

To clarify, I am not leaving the modding scene entirely, as I plan to move on to modding the PS4 (quite possibly for this website if the scene is good for it). However, I will not be returning to the 360 modding scene in any large part. I am grateful for the admins for allowing me to remain a member despite my long absences, and I will continue to use that membership to help the community from time to time. Otherwise, I will no longer be working with the 360.

Please PM me with any questions or concerns, and I will do my best to address them as quickly as possible. Thank you for understanding, and I apologize for the inconvenience.



Armored Core FA Save Editor.zip

This tool mods the main save file for Armored Core: For Answer. During initial release, it mods Coam (money) and FRS. However, I plan to take it MUCH further: it will mod Coam, FRS, tuning, campaign ranks, order matches, which parts your mech has equipped, and more (refer to the changelog to see what the tool can currently do). This tool will be the end-all for AC:FA tools!

I'm still developing this thing, so please let me know if you run into any errors. Expect regular updates.

v2.0
*Added ability to S Rank every mission (giving player a total SS Rank).
*Added spaces for equipped parts. Will make minor revisions as parts are added.

v1.2
*Refined tuning options.
*Restricted FRS options to allow for greater stability.
*Cleared garbage code for cleaner filesize.

v1.1
*Added ability to mod tuning to 255 on all stats. Will refine later.
*Fixed bugs with Coam due to use of unsigned Int32. Now write to signed Int32.

v1.0
*First release. Simple editor that mods FRS and money. Nothing special. (yet...)

*** NOTE: The "unlock everything" option does NOT unlock everything yet. At this point in time, it will up the rank of all levels to S, as well as complete all ordered matches. I will add the ability to actually unlock everything once I find where the unlocked parts are stored. It will be in my next update. Also note, if you haven't at least completed every mission legit (rank doesn't matter) then your rank won't go to SS until you do: this tool gives you the S rank for each stage, but I haven't located where the "completion" flags are, so you still actually have to beat the level for that S rank to take effect. And finally, the equipped parts section doesn't do anything, even if you choose to equip the parts. That section is still very much a work in progress and will be updated regularly. ***

As always, special thanks to feudalnate for PackageIO.
Thanks, Idlehands88, for the initial screenshot.

Excellent editor, Emerald.

Thanks guys. The idea for this editor came from a conversation I had in another thread. In that thread, I said something to the effect of me being able to make a better AC:FA editor than the ones that are out there. Then I wondered why I just didn't do that? As it is now, it really is more or less only as good as those other editors. But give it some time, and you'll see it really start to take off. Next I'll be adding individual tuning modding. After that, I'll start the slow process of letting you mod the parts your mech has equipped.

EDIT: Also, this is my lucky post. Number 777!
