actually my save got corrupted again too this time though i did everything correctly and i was not booted out of the game but i actually saved and quit then when i tried to open the save up in the game again it said failed to load so i bet when i check it on the computer my USER_DAT will be erased again...idk why this keeps happening i bout to call it quits on hexing but i really only did souls its getting to the point where if i can load a save twice then its fine but other than that all that progress i finally beat that awesome looking wolf with the sword in its mouth in darkroot garden and this happens ( on a side note that is by far the coolest boss ever its like a giant repede from tales of vesperia ) oh well i back it up shortly before that point.

Edit: yep just checked my save the user_data file we are hexing simply disappeared and it wont let me put in another one ( nor would it work anyway )

Ok try this (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31282351/DRAKS0005)...


this should give you 999999999 souls.


olso i think i know how this game operates :)

To Anyone asking for saves.

In the quote above, click the link download this save rehash and resign and use this save as your toon until the save editor comes out. I suggest using modio for the save it works perfect. No errors, not even the save corrupted error after quitting and saving and loading your game, its a save for a sorcerer, so you get the soul arrow spell, you get max stats so you can wear full armor and wield a giant sword and shield. And it's just fun. Highly recommended.

This should also serve to stop the flooding of please mod my save requests.

So keep this post floating around.

Here is a program that will fix the hash. Just drag an extracted USER_DATA file into it.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but the USER_DATAXX files each correspond to a different character. If you have 3 characters the first is USER_DATA, the second will be in USER_DATA01, the third in USER_DATA02, etc.

I think if you edit when you are in human form and no bloodstains it might keep it from corrupting later on. I used Hex Workshop. I've purposely died like 3 times and exited out the game and reload and no corruption the only downside is that it changes the file size but it doesn't seem to affect the game.

I've watched the tutorial video, I've even followed along with it exactly to a T, the same steps and everything. I've used Modio and Hex Workshop...I even tried using HxD with the same steps and it gives me the same results...

A corrupted save file upon loading.

You can tell it's going to corrupt because the "loading save" box only shows up once if the save file is okay. If it isn't then it will flash on the screen twice then the game will promptly tell you that the save file is corrupted. If you attempt to repair the save it will only suggest that you delete the file and start a new one (sweet ass solution.../sarcasm)

So yeah, even though the tutorial seems okay, there must be something missing somewhere along the lines... I've literally followed it EXACTLY the way he does it. I don't understand why it's not working. I've attempted it 5 times with Hex Workshop and twice with HxD....no dice.

Someone needs to post a new video with better details because something is obviously missing here...maybe version numbers of the programs would help? I dunno....

Here's exactly what I did, just to clarify:

1. Grabbed the DRAKS0005 file off the HDD using Modio.
2. Opened the DRAKS0005 file with Modio.
3. Extracted the USER_DATA file (very top file) from the DRAKS0005 file.
4. Opened USER_DATA with Hex Workshop.
5. Edited the soul value (I used the book mark provided as well to make sure I didn't make a mistake)
6. SAVED THE FILE
7. Highlighted the entire save file (even the crap on the right) EXCEPT for the last 16 groups of digits (which was also bookmarked)
8. Did the checksum thing, clicked the check mark and chose MD5 (128 bit) - it defaults to selection btw.
9. Generated the new checksum.
10. Copy and pasted the new checksum over the bottom 16 groups of digits.
11. SAVED AGAIN.
12. Replaced the USER_DATA file with the newly edited USER_DATA file inside of the DRAKS0005 file.
13. Rehashed and Resigned with Modio.
14. Dragged the edited DRAKS0005 file back on the HDD.
15. Turned on the Xbox 360 and loaded the game up.

Upon loading it, I get a corrupted save file.

Okay, so can someone clarify where I screwed up here because if I did then the guy in the video did too.

Using Hex Workshop with the bookmark. The only step I did different was I deleted/cut the last 16 digits because highlighting it took too long. Chose the entire document when generating the checksum and pasted the generated checksum in where the deleted was suppose to be. I had like a few corruptions when i first started out (without the bookmark) and I just retried using an unedited save. I probably also put in the wrong hex a few times in the beginning.

Edit: I was also in human form with no blood splatters and a few souls. And I edited after blighttown.

Okay so basically, DON'T use the hex workshop bookmark, make sure I'm in Human Form with no blood stains around me and highlight the entire document after cutting the last 16 digits out of it...alright here I go.

Yeah bud, I did use the book mark...I explained that in the ridiculously long step by step rant I created. Sorry if you didn't see it in the wall of text...I tried my best.

But yeah, none of what you suggested worked....also I noticed every time I edit the stupid file it lowers the file size by damn near half. It goes from being 8.50 megs to 4.42 megs...why this occurs? Beyond me....it's not like I'm not replacing the user data file again. This just doesn't make any sense really and I think some of these know it all's on this board are just holding back vital information to make us noobs get all flustered in waits for the almighty mod tool.

Whatever, sleep awaits me. Screw this shit, guess I'll just have to do things the hard way and actually play the game legit for a bit longer. I just wanted about 200K worth of souls so I wouldn't have to sit around grinding shit out so I can buy a bunch of crap off the merchants NOW so I don't have to back track 10 hours later on...but hey, whadyagonnado?

Honestly I'm not sure either. When I did everything in Horizon I received a byte length error, doing the exact same thing with modio for all my extracts/replacements and it worked though.

Right after that I went to modify my friends save though, did exactly what I did when mine worked as his ended up corrupted... I have a feeling there's a value or a specific state in the game that changes something in the hex which is affecting the save when he get the new checksum. Maybe its being dead/human or playing in offline mode/online mode, like we generate a new checksum and its relative for that save in offline mode and then the game attempts to load in online mode and believes its corrupted? Taking a shot out the dark at this though, not sure if this is actually the issue. I know I did 90% of my modding while I was in a party (offline mode).

Edit: Got him. You need to time your soul arrows just right so he doesn't dodge them, and right before he swings his sword at you its a good idea to dodge, otherwise if you dodge too soon or too late he will hit you anyway.

I'm been using the bookmark for my stat values, I can check once I get back home and tell you the number of bytes from the souls, It should be very close to souls Though. I Know it goes through every other stat, then level,souls. I would say find the value but 0 or 1 isn't a discrete enough number to search for within the entire document.

Yeah, you may have seen I posted that I'd followed all the steps (and threw up my unmodded save) a few pages back, I had the same result as Neorizer, and I was also using the same programs as you (Modio, Hex Workshop, etc.). Not blaming you though, it was very considerate of you to post the video. I posted each step I did because I didn't want to give anyone the impression that the save was getting corrupted because I'm just... retarded or something. I loaded the unmodded just in case there's something fundamentally wrong with my game.

This isn't the first time I've hex-edited and hashed a save manually. I did that for Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins back when there weren't editors for either. This is the first time I've managed to get a corrupt save while following pretty simple instructions though. Not sure what that's about.

Me, earlier:


I just tried following along with the video that was made.

I opened the drive, extracted the save. Used Modio to extract the user_data from that. I open that file in Hex workshop. I found my level/souls by noting the in game amounts (level 6, 332 souls). I used the windows calculator to get the hex value for a few million souls (didn't want to go too too crazy), altered that part of the file. Then I found the checksum at the bottom. I counted off 16 pairs, selected the block before that, and wrote down the address. I used the select function to highlight everything from the beginning to that address. I made sure it everything BUT the checksum highlighted. I used the create checksum (MD5 128bit) and generated a new one. I copied that, pasted it over the old one. Saved the file. Replaced the original with modio. Rehash & resign in modio. Erase the original from the drive, replace it with the new edited version. Showed up as corrupted both when looking at the memory card from the dashboard, and when the game tried to load it.

I was going to give myself 99 humanity to go along with the souls, but since I failed at that.... eh...

This was my backup, since the edited one is hosed apparently:

I'm actually going to look into the corruptions tonight, all I said in the post was that I have a feeling that game state is affecting the save, i.e. you save in offline mode, go to dashboard, reload your save and game and it puts you back into online mode, and the save doesn't look valid. I'll be doing some testing with it tonight so hopefully I can figure out whats causing all the corruptions.

Hmm, well, it was saved in online mode, and attempted to load again in online mode. The character was hollow with 0 humanity. Master key using cleric, in the undead burg at the first bonfire inside. I did some suicide runs for items after starting the game (because doing suicide runs after modding your save to give you souls/humanity would be stupid) - to get items like the Astora Straight Sword and Dragon Shield from the Valley of Wyrverns. I was thinking that grabbing additional items has to be saved/change the world state to a degree (the game would have to note that X items are no longer present in the Valley of W's for instance), but I wouldn't think that would be enough to make saving basic stats go awry.

If you think having an ungathered bloodstain is a problem (not sure if I have one or not), then it would be easy to suicide near the current bonfire to make grabbing it/not having one easy. Being in human form costs humanity though, and there's a side problem that it makes it possible for you to be invaded. I was going to try to stay hollow with my 6million souls or whatever and 99 humanity, so as not to appear obviously modded if someone were to invade (since they can't if I'm hollow).

Oh, and I also noticed my saves were winding up different sizes (going from 8mb to 4mb-ish) from the whole modio/hex-workshop process. However, I don't think that's the issue. That happens all the time with other saves I've edited in the same way (Borderlands, Darksiders, etc.), it's never resulted in a corrupt save.

There now. You have to ring both bells. Then climb Sen's Fortress. You remember/seen the fat guy in white onion looking armor who is just standing by a gate? He's waiting for it to open. Once you hit the top of Sen's, you fight a boss then head to Anor.

I'm not sure if blood stains would have anything to do with it cause I know I don't pick up half of mine. I know the save size shouldn't matter either since its happened before and still works. Online/Offline mode is the only thing I can think off TBH. I know earlier today I was changing all kinds of stuff in my save and I was offline and then after moving it over I went online and everything worked fine. My friends emailed me his save to change though and he was in online when he transfer the save to his USB, i changed exactly the same values as I did in mine and his ended up corrupted so perhaps you need to transfer the save in offline mode? Even then it seems like it shouldn't matter. I'll be testing it in a little bit so I'll make sure to get some answers to the community if I figure it out. It seems really 50/50 atm with a lot of peoples saves ending up corrupted so hopefully we find the solution soon.

no i dont know of any work around but at least your save did not get corrupted when you quit id rather it not save and get the chance to do it again than to have it save and corrupt and have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN.

I agree with Azul on this one...I'm all for helping people and we all by now that you can expect to get lost and have no idea what to do with the lack of map and/or story direction but I also feel this thread is the wrong place for it. I've been keeping a pretty close eye on the thread as I work on my hexing so I can update with new developments and ask for advice but when pages start to fill up with tips for playing the actual game it defeats the purpose of the thread itself. There's more than enough places people can go and seek advice or give it but in a thread made for information about a trainer and/or hexing within dark souls I feel it would be best to keep game tips out so that the people trying to hex aren't reading through pages of garbage that has no relevance...

To Anyone asking for saves.

In the quote above, click the link download this save rehash and resign and use this save as your toon until the save editor comes out. I suggest using modio for the save it works perfect. No errors, not even the save corrupted error after quitting and saving and loading your game, its a save for a sorcerer, so you get the soul arrow spell, you get max stats so you can wear full armor and wield a giant sword and shield. And it's just fun. Highly recommended.

This should also serve to stop the flooding of please mod my save requests.

So keep this post floating around.

WORKED LIKE A CHARM! I just rehashed and resigned using modio, dropped it into my DS folder (there were no other save games present, I backed up mine to a folder and deleted mine off 360HDD), loaded game and BAM! You_are_the_stuff, my good sir :D

It does seem like the hexing has been very hit or miss as far as causing errors and data corruption. Obviously, it worked in the video posted, and it's working for some people. I'm assuming most people that are uploading their saves to be edited are getting working ones back? There's been so many requests, and I don't know how many have come back to say "it's not working" or what have you.

So, perhaps to be more systematic, we could get the programs (with version #) that people are using when it works, and the same when they're not. I'm guessing most people are editing saves that are very early in the game (since it hasn't been out long).

I used XTAF Gui v.26, Modio 2.4, and Hex workshop v6.

With the exception of... may be infinite undiscovery (I think I had to use a different tool to resign that), and the games I've had to use offzip with, I've been able to move files off the drive, extract specific folders, and edit them and resign them with those programs for every game I've messed with on the 360. In the posted video I could see he did the file move, extraction, resign with modio, and edits with hex workshop.

I doubt the issue is with the hex editing it self. Finding the specific values (once helpful people have pointed them out) is pretty easy. Redoing the MD5 is also very straightforward. There's either a disconnect with some of the software people are using, or a random element in the saves themselves that's getting messed up for some people.

If it's save/circumstance related, then regardless of who edits my save, it'll be corrupt, right? If it's program related, then some people are just using the wrong program or the program is messing up the save.

:|

If anyone would like to attempt the same edit I did on mine (just a few mill souls), it might be nice to know if it'll just... always be corrupt or whatever:

The bugs are infinite. Don't think you can hang out and kill them all with the bow or some such. There's a bunch of continuous spawns in the swamp, and each can have three of those mosquitoes out at a time. They will slowly fly to wherever you are and attack you. So... yeah - constant nuisance. They also give no souls, and have no drops (that I'm aware of anyway). Just try to go about your business, and keep an eye out. If you get surrounded while doing something else, you're in for a world of pain.

Nah theres no attitude people wants game tips theres other forums (like the one most of you came from). Period , you want your saves edited make a saves request thread. This is a community for having fun with YOUR game not a place where you can come and spam a thread with off topic chatter, thats what the off topic is for don't like it? leave. Most of you came here looking to benefit from someone else so until you contribute to this already established community in some way dont bother yourselves with my attitude. chances are all these requesters wont bother being active until the next dream release. Follow the posting and thread rules or leave I'm in this thread to learn about how this games inards work and to follow progress about the editor not some newcomer lost in a maze. This will be my last post about this if it doesnt change ill have to nab someones attention to clean this mess up if no one has done it before then.

Alright after countless times of trying to hex edit this stupid thing I'm under the impression that someone isn't telling us something very important to the whole process.

I've literally tried doing everything I possibly can to edit JUST my souls...and nothing. I'm using the bookmark, made a save file offline, made sure there were no bloodstains around me, have my soul collected, been in human form...none of this shit matters, it still corrupts the file.

There's something in the editing process that just isn't working properly and it's corrupting the file EVERY TIME. I've edited Dead Island and countless other games, first go...this one is being a total fucking cunt.

I've even tried NOT rehashing the file, same shit...I've tried rehashing with modio, hash block calculator and concept...still nothing. Some guy posted a specific "Dark Souls resigner tool" but I'm not sure if it's a virus or what...any one care to test it out? Why would some one just randomly make a specific resigner tool for this game?

This is leading me to believe someone isn't telling us something we need to know. Now I heard there's a rumor that no one is even making a mod tool for the game any more...is this true?

EDIT: Yeah, once the file size goes down from 8.5 to 4.4, you're basically fucked. There's something that's keeping the save file at 8.5 megs for the people that know the trick because every save file I download that's hacked is the full size. Bullshit is what I say to that.

OK I think I've found the solution...I need more people in the community to test it themselves but I believe that when you move you save to your USB, make sure the save occurred in OFFLINE mode. When my hexing was successful I was in a live party in offline mode...When I went to modify my friends save, I modified the same values, sent it back to him and it was corrupted. I had him re-send me the file while, but making sure he was in offline mode, and sure enough it worked... May just be a coincidence but try it out people.

well i thought the offline state was the issue but if that didn't work for you then probably not... at the same time there isn't any information that you don't have that the rest of us have. there's a number of people who were able to mod their saves correctly on their own, me being one of them. the whole idea of a conspiracy is outrageous so just drop the idea now... obviously there is something that is affecting a number of saves that people are attempting to mod, even early when Idle was modding saves there was 2 that ended up corrupted while the other 10-15 were fine. Until whats directly affecting the save corruption is discovered though you can either keep attempting yourself or just take one of the saves that's already been uploaded.

in terms of a rumor involving a mod tool i haven't heard any such thing but i feel that whatever is affecting saves and resulting in corrupts will have to be resolved before an editor can be released. the game just came out, just give it some time and chill out.

btw my modded save and my friends were both 4.4 when we put them back onto the 360 and their working perfectly fine so that has no impact.

Alright sorry for getting so crazy. I didn't see the other tutorial video and that guy Rubbers, he uses Horizon. That's the key (for me anyway)...I dunno what it is but Windows is a pile of garbage sometimes...it's weird because certain programs work for some people and others don't.

My friend for example can NOT for the life of him use Hexworkshop, he HAS to use HxD. Everytime he tries to hex with workshop, it corrupts...HxD works fine for him though, both work for me however (except in this instance). Sometimes Modio is better for rehashing stuff and sometimes Concept is better for specific things. This is the first time Modio hasn't worked for me...which is surprising.

Either way, if anyone is having problems, I just hexed my file proper like 5 minutes ago. USE HORIZON FOR EVERYTHING! Follow that video to a God damn T! Do EXACTLY what he does and it will work. All I used was Hexworkshop and Horizon...that's it. It worked.

After I rehashed the file in Horizon I checked the file size and it was no longer 4.42...it was 4.60...which lead me to believe that was a good sign...and it definitely was. IT WORKED! My souls are maxed and so is my humanity. Here's something weird though, upon loading my save file my curse bar was at like 80% O_o....don't know why that happened because I'm literally sitting at the Bonfire at FireLink...so yeah...weird little glitch there but the bar went down and all is well.

Don't ask people to edit your saves any more, if you wanna experiment with any little aspect of the game, download that Horizon program....it's a pain in the ass to load (takes like almost a minute for me) but once it's up and running, use it exclusively for extracting / replacing the file, rehashing and resigning and pulling and loading the file on and off the HD.

All that crap everyone was talking about (being human...etc.) has nothing to do with why the save file corrupts...it's the program your using to rehash and resign. I tried them all except for Horizon and luckily that was the ticket because that was the last option I had.

Good Luck to all! Enjoy.

Yeah! I've experienced the same thing... If I've tried to Mod my save while online it gives me corrupted datas... If I try with an offline save all works well... Don't know if it is a case, but I totally agree with you...

On the other side, I think we need to make some cleaning on the tread... To many save modding requests, and the tread is compoletely unreadable. I think we have to split it in 3 way, the part concerning the Editor here, save request in the appropriate scetion and a wolktrough and hint in another tread... Anyway people have to understand that thay cannot spam requests... They have to wait for the editor. And if they aren't able to mod their save by themselves it's not our matter. Just wait. I don't giva a fuck reading tons of request one after another... Laso because most of them came from users that have 1 to 5 posts... That's mean that the just get this site accidentally and they will disappear from the community as long they have their save modded...

One last thing, the size of the save isn't a problem... I mod mine about 10 times, and always with a cut in size (from 8 to 4mb) ans the save work fine.. Also after many tryes..

I do have one question though. I've hexed my HP values to 65535 (FF), and if I try to level up, I immediately die. If I get cursed by a frog, I immediately die. Anyway around this? Perhaps hex my HP down a bit? Any ideas?

This editing lark is getting more annoying by the hour, i've hit the wall in my save after dying and failing to retreive my bloodstain because its in some hardass area of the tomb leaving me hung out to dry when modding.

i'm trying to navigate the 'a' save but this thing is an absolute trainwreck. i even scrubbed my stain by dying twice without retreival. oh well, back into the depths, for science!

EDIT: another triumph for science. die twice and pick up the leftover stain, you need to have regained souls so anything above 0 in the bloodstain is fine. then get more souls however you wish without dying and quit using the quit option.
To check your save is moddable run a search for your current souls inside your 'a' save file, it shouldnt be in there but it will be in your real save file, this shows which file is currently the master (a saves have a lot of ascii cleartext in them huh)

Ok I'm not sure if this will help people or not. Heres a little bit what i've figured out aboout the saves. Preface: I may be wrong correct me if I am. I had my first corrupt save but i could still pull the User data file out just not change it and the save would'nt load so i had an idea. Backup my user data file delete the save make a fresh one and insert well it seemed to work fine at first but when i reloaded it was missing. Something i noticed while doing this if you make a character the stats you see when loading are saved in the User data 0a because when i replaced my throwaway character to try this it still showed aaaaa the throwaway toon i made until i loaded my character. Also i seemed to have no issue until i started playing around with stats. IE i deleveled myself so i could lvl stats cheaply and tryed some other things. The point of this all being if you want to try what i did backup both the User Data and User Data 0a. I dont know if ny of this info is useful but i figured id put it out there.

For those having issues with saves even using the earlier guides posted I have edited my save several times and had the same problem but found a work-a-round of sorts. Use modio to open the Draak file and extract USER_DATA. mod USER_DATA and use modio to replace the file, DO NOT rehash. now open up Horizon and open the Draaak file, Save rehash and close. Now use whatever program to inject it back into your profile and load up your game. I've not had any problems loading saves since using this method. Hope this helps. Also make sure you use the method posted earlier for hex editing using the generate checksum Md5.

Use the search thread function and search for inventory and you will find what you need.

In an effort to make things a bit easier im Going to start making a list of values for items that ive found starting with the easy ones like arrows and other purchasable items. as i make it ill keep updating it in text file which ill organise by item type if anyone wants to Help by PMing me interesting item values go ahead the first list should be up sometime tommorow after ive had some time to play around with it.

1E90380000038C7A31405F01 is 908 fire arrow
to restate an earlier post by Mr Rouseau for what some of these values are

1E9038 is the item type i think all arrows start with 1E illfigue this out later

038C is my amount of arrows


A31405F is more to do with the specific item id? maybe i have no clue

Edit
It occured to me that somewhere in that value might be whether its in the bottomless chest or not
also i have a bunch of gear on one of my characters so what im going to do if anyone else wants to knwo my method is make a deprived then add in the items from my other character one by one until i know what they all are.

How did you go about tracking down the items or numbers? I would love to find the value for the Ring of Sacrifice. I believe that the max you can carry is ten not to mention if you can throw them in to the chest and have them stacked there. Also I was curious about something. my gamer tag is stored inside 00034bd8 is this the same for everyone?

Someone else tracked them down and posted some infor earlier like where they start in your save and as for how to identify items i can think of 2 ways
the first is to tke an item like arrows give it an odd value like 684 and then search for that value within the section you know is items if your lucky only that item will show up
The second way is to actualy have a character with items then tart moving items one value at a time to a newly made character so you can identify what value goes to what item

This is my save with some inventory items edited to 99 such as soul flasks, and several of the crystals. Maybe will help anyone figure out what to edit.
Its real easy to find your usable items they will have 0 as the durability. Most anything you can equip will have a durability stat and you can search for that number converted to hex to find individual armor pieces.

this should give you 999999999 souls.


olso i think i know how this game operates :)

Ok since no one seems to want to keep this up and I know people don't want to keep going through pages, I will keep this going.

Please note, there is a seperate thread for save game mod requests. So to keep people from getting cranky I would suggest you try your luck in that other thread if requesting your personal save game to be modded. That being said, the above save works PERFECTLY in modio, and is everything you need to fool around until an editor is released. Rehash and resign with your id's and yer good to go.

Thanks to Jappi for this save btw.

Has anyone located the values for crafting items? Because in all honesty...that's probably the most important aspect of the inventory, it saves on a whole bunch of grinding and crap. I found only one Dragon Scale in a chest deep in Blight Town but I used it to upgrade my Drake Sword...kind of wish someone knew how the edit the values of these things cause I could've had 99 of 'em right now.

Either way, let me know if anyone actually has a location or a book mark of where the inventory stuff starts.

Either way, let me know if anyone actually has a location or a book mark of where the inventory stuff starts.

Here are item codes I've figured out so far:

Materials:

03E8: Titanite shard
03F2: Large titanite shard
03FC: Green titanite shard
0406: Titanite Chunk
0410: Blue titanite chunk
041A: White titanite chunk
0424: Red titanite chunk
0456: Dragon scale
0460: Demon titanite
046a: Twinkling titanite

Consumables:

01F4: Humanity
01F5: Twin humanity

Arrows:

1E8868: Large arrow
1E9808: Moonlight arrow
1E9FD8: Dragonslayer arrow

As for the location of the inventory, for my save it's approximately between 000009D0 and 000021F0 (basically between two groups of long F strings)

Inventory location always starts at the same place but just gets bigger as you get more items so itll end at different places in different saves.

Someone else with more knowledge might have a different answer than me but I wouldn't go crazy changing the amounts to anything that won't stack in the save. I don't think armor or weapons stack so I wouldn't mess with the quantity of those items.

The easiest way I find the consumable items is to look for 0 durability.

there are a few tricks to editng multiple items to get IDs. For items i tend to change the quantity of everything and increaste each one by one. So humanity would have 1, estus wouls have 2, a bomb would have 3, etc. I make note of the ID and the quantity i set it to. Then it's just a matter of comparing ingame and easily writing down as you figure it out.

Was wondering if anybody else is having problems with the save editor corrupting their saves or if I might be doing something wrong. I edit the save it gives me the pop up saying it's done and rehashed and resigned and when I try to use it it always gives me save is corrupted

Sorry posted this in the wrong thread

10-07-2011, 11:45 PM
Red-well 08 seems to mean equipped items also this looks to be the end of the item
Blue-I think this is the beginning of the item, i think 10 means equipment and 40 means consumable items, not sure what 20 means
Black-These are the sequential order of the items in the inventory
Hope this helps3271

Tell me if I am wrong.

I hate to say this but every one trying to mod this game or find item I.D.'s ....you're all just wasting your time. The dev's included a fail safe in the file if you mod your save and at some point (seems to just randomly happen) your save file either becomes corrupt or you won't be able to load it, even if you can see the character data on the character select screen.

Basically once you rehash and resign the file, you've already condemned yourself to a random corruption. The file size is supposed to be 8.5 - 9 megs large. After you rehash & resign with ANY program, doesn't matter which one, the file size shrinks to 5 megs.

It definitely has something to do with the corruption because if you try to re-edit the existing 5 meg save file, it won't even let you inject your USER_DATA file back in to it. The work around to this was to delete the 5 meg save and create a fresh 8.5 meg one by starting a new character.

You can then inject the old USER_DATA and USER_DATA0a file back in to the 8.5 meg file, but guess what? After you rehash and resign the file again, the file size goes back down to 5 megs. At some point, the game WILL corrupt your file again or the file just won't load up.

So basically, stop wasting your time with item I.D's and crap because you guys can't even get the fucking save file to rehash & resign properly. Until this is fixed, you're running the risk of wasting 10-20 hours of your life only to have to start the entire game over again...and play LEGIT.

I have a save file about 50% of the way through the game and I'm basically going to have to beat the last half of the game in a single sitting JUST so I can see the ending...it's not gonna happen. I've already given up on this game, it's way too fucking hard to play legit and if you cheat you get fucked in the end any way with corrupted save files.

So yeah, give up on making item I.D's or whatever because you can't edit your shit any way without corrupting your save file. This game is so sadistic it knows when you're cheating....pretty fucked up shit if you ask me.

only had to perform 1 transfusion and i know why, thats why i do everything manually now.
I'm now on new game plus and im about to go top myself up with souls and humanity so i can rebuy the bonfire related equipment the game removes off you, asylum demon got such a bitchslap haha.

I need to see a list of endings because mine just sucked, i collected the flame and the game ends, arguably worse then rage, which at least gave you a cutscene.

I have used the save editor and I planned on using it to get all the miracles and such, but it doesn't seem to be working. I set all values of spells to 99 except for one each of a spell, miracle and pyromancy. I then purchased the remaining spell, etc and was disappointed to find that the achievements didn't pop. Does each spell collection only count toward the achievement if you pick it up in the actual game?

There is another thread with saves for these achievements but they're all corrupted. I know what I'm doing, I'm rehashing/resigning them in every single form possible (did them with all different title updates, manually creating the file directory through Xtaf, with different methods and orders of resigning, etc) and nothing worked, it's still always corrupted.
