[Remake][PC/Xbox360] Dark Souls Save editor V3.0.7.0

[Mr Nukealizer]

Jappi, I've been a LONG time user of your DS Editors. Is this one updated for use with the DLC?

-Update-

Read through some of the post, seems a lot of you are having a LOT of trouble with this new editor. Version 3.0.5.1

Here's some tips
-DON'T use Modio. At all. Not the Beta 4 not Modio 3. Modio is known for corrupting saves. Use Horizon. Horizon, unlike Modio CONSTANTLY updates their tool. I need to get Diamond on Horizon myself.
-Always create a back up, and create a double back up. It pays to be prepared, it's the first rule of modding anything. For me, I don't backup anymore since I generally know what I am doing. But don't be stupid like me.
-Always create a test save. This means, if you have your main save, create a double of it and rename it to whatever you want to make sure you know it's different. Then run test on that save and see how far you can push it before it breaks. I do this with a lot of my Dark Soul saves and they turn out the way I need them to.
-Be smart about your modding, if you go buck wild like I do, expect to get a lot of hate mail and people reporting you for mods. I change my gamertag every three weeks, so Microsoft ends up going "Wait a minute? Is it this guy? We can't tell...." I always use about 3 different XBL accounts which are managed and I change them so often. Each of them have a 12 Month Membership. That's how I keep off the radar.
-If you need help with the mod tool's functions, ask Jappi or one of the people who work with the source and you can also ask me as well. I've been around since the first version of the Dark Souls editor (which I still think is better) was released. I was Jappi's guinea pig.




Hm. Does anyone know how to do this with the new editor? I'm still trying to figure this bit out.

Modio 4 Beta works just fine for simply getting the save from the device to the computer, and back to the device. However, replacing files or rehashing/resigning can often be a different story... When using this program, there is no need to resign a save before putting it back on the device.


Changing your gamertag will NOT make Microsoft think "Wait a minute? Is it this guy? We can't tell....", because reports go against your actual account, which stays the same when you change your gamertag.

I'm pretty sure that changing your gamertag and having multiple accounts is not helping you avoid bans either. I have kept a list of the people that say they have reported me, and over 850 people say they have reported me for cheating, on several different games. I'm sure the real number is quite a bit higher than that too. Even with all those reports, and only one name change, I have only been suspended once in 6 years, and that was for having the word "crap" in my bio.

As for adding items/magic and having them not work properly, I explained what can go wrong multiple times in the last 2-3 pages. If it doesn't work right, just buy or pick up a new item that doesn't stack with anything you already have.

Regarding the adding of gestures, they appear to be stored right after the last slot of your inventory. For the first save slot, offset 2C400 seems to be the right area. The gestures are padded by three bytes, after which a 00 or 80 determines whether or not you have them. I was able to give myself "proper bow" and "hurrah" by editing the highlighted locations to 80.

Thanks for the information. I can't quite figure out where you are though, because "right after the last slot of your inventory" are the attunement slots and usable items. Maybe that's after the bottomless box contents.

In any case, here's version 3.0.6.0.
EDIT: 3.0.6.1 I fixed a couple issues people noticed.


Known Issues:
*Still doesn't work for legit PC saves.
*The equipment selection lists don't update when inventory/database is changed. You will need to save and reload the file to update them.
*There are no icons for the Copy Slot and Swap Slots buttons.
*After copying a character, the game will not allow you to load it if the destination slot was originally empty. Make a new character and overwrite it.
*Heavy Arrows and Standard Arrows may or may not be switched in the database.

I think you're right. Well for specific's sake: The section can be found at these offsets

DRAKS0005
0x0002C400

USER_DATA
0x0001E400


Now just some choppy questions/observations.

The heavy crossbow bolts and standard crossbow bolts IDs do indeed seem to have swapped.

What happened to the bonfire warp unlock option?

Item Adder search doesn't seem to work for me, it says it finds items, but they never show up.


Karmic Justice Explosion* (∞ MA) shows up twice in the attunement section.

I removed the warp destination option, because the patch that added many new warp points also broke that option.

Thanks for mentioning the search problem. What's going wrong is that it now only searches within the selected category, and there is nothing in the "Ammo" category that contains "thorns". I'm not sure why the message says the wrong number though.

That's because there are two different IDs that both appear to be the exact same spell. Thanks for bringing that up though, because I forgot to explain what "∞ MA" means. It means it has unlimited uses, but must be manually attuned, meaning it can't be attuned ingame. The only way to attune it is to use the equipment tab in this editor. There is also no point in adding it to your inventory, because it never shows up anywhere.

I dont believe it was broken by the patch, I was able to use it (although it is missing darkmoon tomb, and obviously the dlc spots) by adding the lordvessel to my inventory then enabling it.

Gotcha


On a slightly unrelated note, I must express the joys of setting all armor slots to a helmet and becoming a floating head on xbox.

Book of the Guilty is already filling up with modded indictments ;/
I'd say remove that part of the editor, but other than that, this update is great! good job there.

So does anyone have the values for weapons that can be +15 that normally couldn't so I can add them to the database? Like the +15 crystal greatsword someone mentioned back a few posts.

Just got invaded on xbox by someone who obviously used this editor, he had no legs and arms, put sunlight blade on some weapon and was hitting for 1000+!! I asked him what weapon he was using but he blocked me when I called him out on the mods :/
