(of course it doesn't the md5 hash isn't right and probably need to be rehashed/resigned as well)

that's weird...
i can open it just fine...

I too am also having problems with my file. I am just starting out after the tutorial. Have not done anything yet and it keeps saying my file is corrupt. Could it be that i am myaking stats to large and that is why it is corrupting the file?

ok it looks like my ftp program uploaded the file as a ascii... instead of a binary file type...
fixed... can you guys download your files again ?!

ok, opened in editor, added 20 Souls, and SAAADLY corrupted save file.... and now?

cybersam
10-09-2011, 08:30 AM
ok... this is totally *****up....

it looks like it has something to do with where the USER_DATA is located... no matter if you're human or Hollow...
and both of you can't modify your files... because both of your USER_DATA are saved at the same place...

I recently just downloaded this editor and idk if im doing something wrong but.. when i mod my stats it all says 99 but when i go to the bonfire my stats read 9999(what i thought it would be) and my health dosent mod either it shows up as 5500/65500 even though i put 65500/65500.. so my question is.. Why does my stats show it modded when i rest at a bonfire but not on my character? .. Also, when i try to upgrade.. because im already 99 everything it wont let me accept my level up as 9999 stats and 65500 health.. PLEASE HELP?!?! Thank you.

i got myself to mod twice, as i know everyother times where corrupted :E, i expirenced and i can tell it does not matter the ammount of souls put on your saves, also tried fix, rehashed resign with modio, and it still corrups :( i hope you guys gets a fix soon :)

well that's how it works... ^-^
try fighting... then you can see the effects...
i modded my hp way higher than then... are it shouts only the last 4 numbers...
but its actual the numbers you've set... you will notice this...

just try fighting...


and of course you can upgrade stats that are already over their actual limit ^-^'''

in other words you modded your save without corrupting it... be happy about it ^-^
never the less... don't forget to always make backups before you edit your save files

@se7en Raven
well--- can you uplaod the file you tried editing a 2nd time ?!... (not the corrupted one)

Thats what my research made me determine. You can shift the positions by dying and collecting bloodstains but if the save is damaged already it will need to be transfused before continuing.
in terms of transfusion if your User_Data is @ E000 you're probably in a bad place, especially for modding, to transfer over when like this you also need to send the User_Data0a file as i believe when the files are in this order the game is feeding off the 'a' file as master which is why assaulting the original file isn't a good idea until you force the order to shift by dying and whatnot. my personal transfusion only took the User_Data as mine was at 43C000 at the time.
I'm gonna do some more work with Azul who managed to take what i did and make it actually work so hooray, hopefully if need be we can come out with an empty shell for recovery purposes.

Edited max souls 999 on every stat except for one health at 100000 stam at 9000 lvl 63 and the save still stands strong, just beat the 4 kings

Oh ok so your saying it is modded but it only shows a certain amount?
sorry for sounding like a noob but this is my actual first game ive modded myself, so i just wanted to make sure.
but i was just asking because when i sit at the bonfire it shows my stats at 9999,
but when i leave the bonfire and look at my stats it just shows them all at 99.
thanks a lot thought for your help now i can not worry anymore =]

ok finally it works .... if u updated the game on xbl the game will be corrupted always,
1. go offline
2. delete the cache in the xbox hd
3. start a new game ,save in the fire
4. mod and enjoy

this has worked for me hope it help some of you
thx for the editor great work :D
You don't have to remove cache.
All I did was make a new guy, go a min into the game, save at the first bonfire and then just hooked up my HD to my comp. modded it, put HD back in, and it worked flawlessly.
If you want my save you can have it, i have OK armor and really good weapons,I am a thief named iSneak, I have everything completely maxed out alsoI am also running Windows 7 if you need that. Next updates should be 1)Character selection, in case of more than one character. 2)A max everything button
So if you want save PM me :)

Hi to all..

Its look like a lot of ppl here having problem using this editor and giving you a corrupt save file.. well i might be able to help u bcoz i had same problem b4 but now i found out what causing this.. it was the humanity when you edit it , you can only edit it once and when u try editing it again it will corrupt your save 100%. so when you FIRST edit your game save don’t go crazy and putting 9999999 or something , the stat only up to 99 so don’t go over it and for the hp/stam for me I just try it on 9999 its ok it work great.. so everything is working and can be edit again as long u don’t touch the Humanity again …
well I hope this help you solve your problem


Anyway thanks a lot for the people who work hard on making this editor.. (Jappi88 , cybersam , magnus hydra and turk645) this is awesome !! :bigsmile:

Is there anyone, who can post a past tutorial-save game with maxed out stats that works? Maybe Warrior or Knight class...?
We could rehash&resign it to use till the editor works stable....

10-09-2011, 11:29 AM
Sorry about my frustration earlier guys.

As you can see, it was in no way directed at any of you, but rather at the game and its willingness to *bleep* up, as well as the editor with the save corruption issue.

I have no doubt the editor will be stable eventually, but with this cluster*bleep* going on, it might take a while.

I have faith in Cybersam, Jappi and the others, though. These guys KNOW their stuff.

Eventually. Just have faith and be patient. If we rush these guys, it could end up even worse and buggier than before. So we want them to take their time so they can work out ALL the kinks and solve ALL of the issues.

They're far more skilled than we are. Let it be and eventually we shall attain what we seek.

This game is truly broken, No matter what you hex edit you're save will ALWAYS get corrupted later down the line. So there for... This game is just simply pointless to modify.

10-09-2011, 01:29 PM
This Editor works great - but only for one time!

You can edit your save game one time, if you want to edit it a second time your savefile will be corrupt. So go trough the tutorial an mod it like you want it (i did evere stat on 9999 and the stamina and life on 9999 / humanity on 99) so you get invincible because you have 9999 stamina and your sats are perfect. oh and you have to edit your souls! 999.999 are not much in this game >_<

The save editor wasn,t working me at first so what i did was edit the souls with the save editor then saved then used modio to rehash and resign.
Now that i have enough souls i maxed out my stats ingame then saved and exit game.
Then i took my save and edit the health to 99999 and done the same above which worked.
Well in the end i edited all my stats to 999 and stamina to 9999 and not once did it corrupt.
Just make sure you backup your save far better to be safe than sorry.
Don,t know if this will work for you but worth a try.

1. The first modding you do to a save (In Most Cases) will leave your file in tact and you should be able to play.
2. Any modding to any character after your first mod attempt, WILL be corrupted upon loading.
3. Stats vary from person to person as far as the modding goes, I simply put in 175 and ended up with only 75 on each stat. Others claim to have the "9999+".
4. Humanity (given it's under a certain value) plays little to no factor in whether or not a save will be corrupted upon loading.
5. To address 8ball's most recent post; the dying and such (to my knowledge) has/will change nothing in the overall User_data reading. I've played to various places in the game and experimented with the amount of deaths and alas, no change in reading.
6. Soul count/amount also plays little to no factor in whether or not a save will be corrupted upon loading. My first save (knight) I played around with the soul count to see where the limit was before It was corrupted and It never became corrupted, leading me to believe that the soul count didn't matter. Additionally, seems to me that the majority here also claim it doesn't matter.

I'll keep posting/editing as I come across problems/solutions.
Waiting patiently for the next release.
Though I doubt what I've posted will help much, Figured I'd do what I could for now.
Great work nonetheless.

@ArsisThesis
Good points but i must disagree with your second one as i am on my 12-13th (i forget) mod trip, it might be because i do it myself in hex workshop and i only mess with the con, it might be because i promise the game delicious treats if it works again or a severe unwarranted deletion if it doesn't, all i know is, i'm making return trips.

To support your point however, i did have to transfuse my save into a fresh container, which was around the 4th time, but since then its been a very good boy, perhaps in the future it might be worth doing this from the start, after the first modding but before the console even sees it.

In any event could these problems with the con structure be highlighting flaws in the communities collective knowledge of STFS?
My hash block calculator for instance has a restraining order in place on the gamesaves and they are to remain 2 folders away at all times yet they clearly work.

Could break my pad...
Used a downloaded Savegame to edit and it loaded just fine with maxed stats.
After a hole afternoon of playing, it passes the first loading when selecting the MU but fails to load the char in the loading menu with the message:
"Save could not be loaded"
After restarting with the backup, i could load fine until i rested at the undead burg. Then, again, not loading...
Any suggestions? Whats this bout moving save file into new package? Replace the files with Horizon...?
Pleeaaase someone have an idea, i'm close just deleting the game and probably miss one of the finest games of the last years...

This editor is really helpful so u guys can play it offline and get some achievements that you would be getting them in 1 year but when it comes to re-edit it gets corrupt!
I only wish the editor had the choice to fix the level at more then 700 since you cannot have all your stats at 99 and ur level at 99 as well! It seems wrong if you wanna play it online!
They will notice and probably ban you! (not sure tho)
Btw does anyone know how to go to crystal cave??? I'm sick of searching everywhere and finding nothing! If anyone knows please send me a message with details on where to start from!

A good trick for this one ist to set your stats to 9924 - ingame it will only show the last 2 numbers! 24!

No matter what I do my save corrupts. The weird thing is I can still open the corrupted save with the editor and edit it again if I want to. I thought the editor wouldn't open the save if it was corrupt. Maybe that means there is some way to still fix them.

So how many users on here tried getting through the tutorial without dying and wait for the first bon fire and talked to the guy by the fire then grabbed and used the humanity to become human then leveled up once but saves some then edited and successfully been able to reload the edited mod back in the game?

No I use modio. When I used saves that people hex edited it works. And i still use modio. It's got something to do with the editor. Something isnt adding up. Works for some but not for others. Maybe If someone could grab one of my saves and mod it (whoever can get the editor to work) and let me know what happens it might narrow the issue down.

Exactly, people. Get it right, people. (I mean that with respect, of course.) It's NOT Modio, it's NOT Horizon or any other programs, it's the editor. Cybersam and Jappi just need some time to work on the editor and figure out the issues before the next update.

All we gotta do is wait.

Right now, it's in their hands and I trust them, as should you all. Let's take it easy and be grateful we even got anything.

For everyone having problems, please try the following:
- you must not have 0 souls
- after you mod your separate skills, add them all up. That is your total level. If the sum of the skills doesn't = total level it corrupts.

Incorrect. I modded my save by using 200,000,000 souls, NOT modifying the level in any way, and leaving my HP and STAM alone. I set most of my stats to any arbitrary number below 100, and then loaded the save just fine. I leveled up a couple times and any stats that were not capped by Endurance or Vitality (like HP and Stamina) automatically hit the cap after I leveled.

I've modded the same save on several occasions because I lost my 200M souls and 99 humanity.. I've never had any trouble when leaving the level or HP/STAM alone.

10-09-2011, 09:42 PM
strangely enough. i tried re-modding my already modded file and it corrupted. not really surprised. so i restarted and tried to mod again using every stipulation posted. and every time since then its been corrupted. so i decided i would try something new and create a new offline profile and try to mod a game there. and lo and behold. it worked. drawing me to the conclusion that a person can only mod once per-profile. which is clearly not true since there are people here saying they have modded a few times without problems. but this is what has worked for me.
i recommend trying it yourself if you arent super attached to using that profile.
side note: im waiting until all of the bugs are worked out before i use my actual gaming profile.

That's not quite right either. You could set your level back to level 1 if you really want and keep your maxed stats and I've modded from 0 souls before with no issue.

I've found that as long as you don't have a glowing green bloodstain lying around before you mod it then it generally works. Making backups is still a really good idea regardless though.

Ok well i had a character on the internal hd and one on the mem stick, 2 different toons.
i took the one from the mem stick and modded it, all worked great.
second time i tried to mod the mem stick toon save was corrupt and it also deleted the other char from the internal save!

still messing around with the saves tho ill let you know if i make any progress!



no i think thats what corrupted my save.... putting health over 9999/9999

stamina 99999/9999 <after those stats the second (9999) gains a extra 9 from nowhere could this be part of the problem?

Alright. To update; I somehow managed to get a secondary and third character working with the modding. However, I don't exactly have it down to a science yet. It does include playing around with the mods on other gamertags however. How this works I'm not sure. It could just be shutting off the xbox and trying to reload the save.
I will re-up as soon as I get the method down (as ridiculous as it may or may not be).
I know it isn't a permanent solution because it is incredibly tedious work to do to get to working condition. However, everyone might enjoy a temporary solution until Cybersam and Jappi can get it up and running perfectly.

I didn't create the editor, but thanks for having the patience guys. Having people breathing down your neck while you're trying to work isn't fun.

To address this issue, the thief I had gotten working yesterday has 685000 hp and stamina and the save has been working just fine after the initial "corruption" with the mods in tact.

Please tell me how you did that with 685000 hp because I tried doing 99999/99999 and although my save is not corrupt in game my health is still 9999 but its out of 99999 but if i go to a bonfire the number doesn't go higher than 9999 and still counts as 9999 as it goes down with damage, any help please. :D

The game itself will only allow a 4 digit value in your menu. So ultimately, even if you do have say the 685000 like I do, It will only show up with a 4 digit number so for example 5000/685000 is what mine looks like at all times.

Ok SOLVED it
STEPS
1. Create another character so you have two characters! save one to internal drive and one to mem stick!
2. Take the one from mem stick and "mod with editor" it should work,
3. Put it in the xbox load it up from the mem stick.
4. play away until u save the game NOTE* save game to mem stick and it should merged the 2 characters on to the mem stick including the one from internal.

now this is where the problem is!

5. if you want to mod the character again for a second time it requires you to load up the other character the non modded one play and save at bonfire quit game.
6. take the mem stick bk to pc and mod the save,
7. go back plug in mem stick to xbox and select the modded character and it should load fine!

When unplugging the mem stick make sure your on your dashboard same for plugging in*

Ok,here is what's working every time.Open the tool,load your save,(the con file works fine) "0" out the "souls" and "humanity" save and close tool.Open tool back up,load save and mod what you want,save it, and stuff your save back on your device.This has been working well,no corruption.

I will try and verify this as quickly as I can. I'm actually cleaning right now and just watching the board fill up with posts, but as soon as I get done cleaning I'll throw it in and give it a shot.
If it does work you'll have my thanks.

@MST246 - I will try the same for yours as soon as I get the chance.

Additionally, If these two work, they'd be alot easier than what I went through. Definitely more efficient.

Hey Arsis with your 5000/586000 hp did the hp actually work like when the 5000 went down to 0 did you die or does your health stay up because its supposed to be 586000, I'm asking because with my 9999/99999 the 9999 will go down like normal I just don't know what happens when its hits 0.

It will look like it's going down, and it is; you are losing hp, however, the digits are just going to the next 4 values after it reaches zero. Just pay attention to the bar in your HUD. That will show a rough estimate of how much hp you have left. If it's looking low, your hp is low.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the tool and the information from that other thread. Very interesting stuff. I tried to use Snuggly to mod my game save, but upon loading all the stats and souls, etc. was 0. When I modded them, hit save and plugged the save back in nothing had changed. At all. My souls, stats, and humanity were the same, but my save was not corrupted. If anyone wants the original and the "modded" game save for refrence I'll upload them.

p.s: if I'm trying to hex-edit my game save which user-data file do I edit?


Thanks in advance,

Each time I try and mod my save using the editor, the save corrupts. I have tried it about 5 or 6 times and each time, my save corrupts. Here is my save, its at the start of the game, Im using the warrior

http://www.wupload.com/file/355774397/tudorbluesave.rar

Even if someone tells me where Im going wrong, maybe that will help. I have various values, from totally maxing out everything to increasing my levels by a few hundred and still I get a corrupted save. I am using the latest version of Horizon to extract my save and I am on win 7 if that helps. Any help with this will be very much appreciated (as always)

Is there a way to fix corrupted saves? On my console the save worked, but for some reason the back up of it was corrupted, even though it was a direct copy of the working one. I had to delete the working one and replaced it with a new modded one, but that was corrupted, too, so I lost all good working saves aside from a previous back up (which isn't TOO far behind, but still).

Anywho, is there a lining of code that deals with the corruption, or something you can swap out that would fix the corruption issues yet? I know in Dead Island, if you had a corrupted save, you could remove items and the save was fixed...not sure if there's a way to fix Dark Souls, but I thought I'd ask.

Not sure but might of worked out away round corrupt saves here,s how
Load up your save ingame and rest at the bonfire which will save then exit straight to xbox dash.
Then use your save on the save editor to edit what you want and save i use modio rehash and resign just in case.

Well, unfortunately this is still a work in progress. Firstly, simply try restarting your xbox and loading the modded save again. If that doesn't work, upload it and I'll take a look and see what I can do. Please and thanks in advance.

I'll give it a try as soon as I get a shot. This'll be the third method besides my own that I have to try. I promise I'll get it all updated on what I found worked and didn't work. I will end up writing a guide that is efficient and easy to use. At least until the editor is worked around the corrupt saved. Please be patient and I'll get it done within the hour.

I have edited 3 characters now & they all worked just fine. W/ each char. i did a speed run through tutorial, got to firelink shrine bonfire, touched it saw that it autosaved, stepped away from bonfire, & then I PRESSED HOME BUTTON & WENT TO DASHBOARD. I'm not totally sure what difference it makes but if i save by selecting quit from the game menu & try to edit the save it will corrupt it. I gave my first char 35 on all stats & 9,999,999 souls & 99 humanity. Second char i set stats to 60, 99 humanity, & 999,999 souls. Third char i set all stats to 50, gave 99,999,999 souls, & 99 Humanity. So all were different classes, different stats, different souls, all had 99 humanity added. Other than the humanity the only thing they all had in common was that i stood at the firelink shrine bonfire & exiting by going to the dashboard. Oh & i used modio each time.

Ok I should have included this n my first post, here are the steps i took with all I took w/ all 3 of my character that worked after modding...
1. open modio, click explore device, find your save from here & extract it to your desktop (make a back up because the mod tool does not do it for you yet, just put the back up in another folder).
2. now right click on the save inside" explore device" window & delete the save. DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW!!! MINIMIZE IT!
3. open Snuggly the Barter mod tool, mod your save you saved to the desktop to your liking. Click save.
4. using modio click "open save" & open the save from your desktop that you modded
5. when you open your save w/ modio click "save to device" select the same save device/ location (i.e. i was using a flash drive) u extracted it from earlier then click save
6. Bring up the "explore device" window i said to minimize earlier, click on the dark souls fold in the directory just to make sure it saved it in there.
7. not sure if this matters but i went back to the modded save i still had open w/ modio that i just put on my flash drive & pressed rehash/ resign twice. Thats all!

i dont know if this will work for anyone else but has for me several times now. Also i am playing online w/ the update & have successfuly joined other people's games

ok i just tried to mod a modded save i did using the method i listed above & not so much luck. My save got corrupted. So i loaded up my backup & ran to another bonfire ( the character was still sitting @ the firelink shrine) got to the next bonfire allowed it to autosave & then i went to the dashboard instead of using the save and quit option in the menu. I then modded the save again using the method i used before that worked for me & still the save got corrupted : ( GRRRRRRRRR!!! So i then loaded my backup again and did the let yourself die thing that other people had said to do & then modded the save again... & said damn it when i saw it was corrupted too! So it seems that i was only able to mod the save once then upon 2nd mod it got corrupted. Also of note, i saw that when i exit the game using the save & quit option in the game menu then mod the save the save goes from being 4.7mb to just over 9mb, however if i mod a save where i went to the dashboard instead of using the save & quit method it stayed around the 4.7mb area until i leveled my character up to around level 60, now my save is sitting at exactly 9mb?????????

no prob vicious.
i have managed to ring the first bell w/ 2 of my modded characters now, i have joined other peoples games, had people join mine, died, collected my souls (except my first character because i died then went rolling down an elevator shaft, because i'm a tard, before i could collect them again... sigh 18 million souls gone), i quit & loaded the saves several times, & my saves never got corrupted. So for me at least this method works, hopefully it will for others to, at least until the editor gets fixed.

Kinda offtopic (still about Dark Souls tho). I found out how to get the Dragon Head and/or Torso for your characters model :P It's the model you get for using the items that turn you into a dragon from the Dragon Covenant. If you just want the Dragon Head, only add the Dragon head (durr lol)

Yee dude, every bonfire already lite up for me corrupts every time, i got lucky on the firelink one it worked when already lite up, but thats weird could be luck.

EDIT: cyber you should put the level cap to 700 as it is max level i beleive and if youn pass 99 you cannot edit anymore because modding the level will currupts unless you get lucky :l

10-10-2011, 07:19 AM
It may have something to do with the deaths or using the same bonfire twice. My first save corrupted no matter what I did. I had already died a few times and used the same bonfire multiple times before I found the mod tool. I started an new character and modded it as soon as I hit the first bonfire in the training area. I only added max souls and some hp and I didn't do anything else until I left the training area. After I got out I leveled up and it reset my hp but I haven't had any problems with the save since. I will try to mod it again after I hit another bonfire and see if it corrupts, but I don't really need to mod it because I only wanted to boost my character a bit. I still have way too many souls left and I don't want to make the game too easy.

It's not the editor.The same things happen when hex editing.The problem is how the game handles save data.

Maybe you could be right, due to the fact that it autosaves and normally, you're not suppose to mess with autosaves. Or so I have been told in the past.

That or it could be that Dark Souls coding is a clusterfuck.

well here is a little something you guys can try till we find a way to fix this issue....

start a new character... (preferably by deleting the CON file first)
then the moment you can control him/her quit the game (in-game menu then quit game)
after that try to mod you new character
i tried this a lot of times and it worked for me in 11 out of 13 times i tried

some of those test i couldn't always edit later on... but at some points it was possible...
but at least you guys will have some fun till we can fix this...

one more thing... i don't know if this works for every one...

so try it a few times if it doesn't right away...

BREAKING NEWS!!!

It's looks like some one in this thread was right and lighting as well as using a bonfire tends to corrupt the save.

I tried it without lighting the bonfire at the beginning of the game and not using and just save and quit right away and that works better.

So now perhaps it is the bonfire causing these issues? I'll have to check and test it a second time to be sure.

We'll also try what you said, Cybersam. But please keep the above information in mind!

I have now edited my save 15 times now some right after the other and still have no problem with editing the save, maybe you guys should try to not add the extract the USER_DATA from the file when the person opens it in the Editor.

Here is my process for manually modding the save:

1. Rest at a bonfire, then Quit the game.
2. Extract your DRAKS0005 file from your USB.
3. Open the DRAKS0005 file in Horizon or Modio and click the Contents tab.
4. Extract the USER_DATA that your character is stored in, then close your DRAKS0005 file.
5. Open both the USER_DATA and DRAKS0005 in Hex Workshop.
6. Edit the USER_DATA first (DON'T FIX THE CHECKSUM YET).
7. Go to your DRAKS0005 and Search for your characters name (make sure to click the Unicode String box).
8. Copy/Paste the edited info from USER_DATA to DRAKS0005.
9. Go back to USER_DATA and copy the Checksum and search for it in the DRAKS0005 file.
10. Calculate the Checksum of USER_DATA and replace the old Checksum in DRAKS0005 with the new one.
11. Save, Rehash and Resign the save and replace it back on your USB (DON'T ADD THE USER_DATA BACK INTO THE DRAKS0005 FILE).

Try that and tell me what you think :P

I have now edited my save 15 times now some right after the other and still have no problem with editing the save, maybe you guys should try to not add the extract the USER_DATA from the file when the person opens it in the Editor.

Here is my process for manually modding the save:

1. Rest at a bonfire, then Quit the game.
2. Extract your DRAKS0005 file from your USB.
3. Open the DRAKS0005 file in Horizon or Modio and click the Contents tab.
4. Extract the USER_DATA that your character is stored in, then close your DRAKS0005 file.
5. Open both the USER_DATA and DRAKS0005 in Hex Workshop.
6. Edit the USER_DATA first (DON'T FIX THE CHECKSUM YET).
7. Go to your DRAKS0005 and Search for your characters name (make sure to click the Unicode String box).
8. Copy/Paste the edited info from USER_DATA to DRAKS0005.
9. Go back to USER_DATA and copy the Checksum and search for it in the DRAKS0005 file.
10. Calculate the Checksum of USER_DATA and replace the old Checksum in DRAKS0005 with the new one.
11. Save, Rehash and Resign the save and replace it back on your USB (DON'T ADD THE USER_DATA BACK INTO THE DRAKS0005 FILE).

Try that and tell me what you think :P

This work, IDLE. I'm using this way of modding since the game came out... What i find strange is that the editor won't work for me. Beginning with the same save... Editing the exact same value... If I mod it the save works and with the SE don't... What I have to check, but no time at the moment, is to ocmpare the result DRAKS0005 and see which are the differences...

As a user of Idles method since i got it into my head replacing is stupid, i fully endorse the method, only time you will fail is when you accidently edit the wrong offsets.
I'm working on a bookmark updater like I mentioned before, mostly it'll update the offsets for things like inventory by scanning a userdata file but if i learn how to read stfs file tables i can adapt it further, i also made it as comical a dark and serious game like this can get, yes gentlemen, with boobies.

Yeah, after testing a few times, I can safely say the bonfire is fucking things up. It's somehow being linked to the stats or whatever.

Also, I don't know if anyone noticed, but for some WEIRD reason after editing the stats and loading the game, these weird bars bars pop up (Status Effect bars, I think? Like Poison, Curse and etc.) and start draining or something like that. May want to do something about that part. Doesn't really seem to affect anything, though.

But yeah, at least now we know the problem, amongst other things.

I'll be putting up some saves in a while that Cybersam requested.

Edit: Did someone say boobies?!

I beleive this is what is corrupting the saves/con or whatever lol.. because after passing 99 the game now gets a block on the level wich shouldnt exist, i would have to look and do some testing to confirm, will get to it in a sec or so :O

After suffering many corrupted saves I re-downloaded the editor put it into a different directory to where I was storing my extracted save and ran the editor from within the rar file (without extracting) ever since I have not had a single corrupted save.

Hope this helps all who are having corruption issues

well here is a little something you guys can try till we find a way to fix this issue....

start a new character... (preferably by deleting the CON file first)
then the moment you can control him/her quit the game (in-game menu then quit game)
after that try to mod you new character
i tried this a lot of times and it worked for me in 11 out of 13 times i tried

some of those test i couldn't always edit later on... but at some points it was possible...
but at least you guys will have some fun till we can fix this...

one more thing... i don't know if this works for every one...

so try it a few times if it doesn't right away...

Tried it, it work very well. Don't know why the editor doesn't work after certain point of the game, but it indeed works when used on a brand new save and is at beginning of the game. Thanks!

This method does not work FOR ME. I'm not new to hex editing either. The only issue I'm having is My DRAK0005 con changes size after I mod it, before I mod it's 8.71mb after I mod it's 4.60mb . There are more than 1 instance of my name too in the DRAK0005 con, Which 1 should I be focusing on? I had better luck replacing the User_Data....I just can't save without it corrupting.

the editor is works fine

here what u should do

1- load the game and make sure to retrieve your lost souls or kill another enemy and then let anyone kill you

2- go back where you died before and collect your souls

3- get back to bonfire save the game AND MAKE SURE!!! to use the quit game option

4-mod your save with editor and done

Ok,NeoRizer posted this elsewhere.Itried this with a modded save and it works,at least on this attempt.Obviously,I had to hex it,but I think it will still work with the tool.We should be able to edit normally than extract the 2 files we need,and inject into fresh save.I am getting busy,and will not be able to test multiple edit attempts,hope someone can.

Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
I know this has probably been discussed before but in order to not corrupt your save you need to extract the USER_DATA and USER_DATA0a files. Make a back up of these two files, then edit the copy of the USER_DATA file in hex workshop and then swap your HD back on your Xbox. (WITHOUT INJECTING IT)

Delete your save data off the hard drive (because it's going to get corrupted if you try to inject anything back in to it due to the small files size) then make a fresh character from scratch, as soon as the game starts up, just quit out of the game. DO NOT DASH, just hold the middle button and turn the console off after the publisher's names start popping up at the start of the game.

After that go back on your PC and inject the modded USER_DATA and USER_DATA0a files back in to the newly created 8.5 meg file. It will turn to 4.99 megs and it won't corrupt on load up. I've done this several times now and it's the only way to NOT corrupt your file when you mod it...I played the game for 3 hours straight and went to go do this...works like a charm. Also you have a nice back up in case something does happen.

Scratch what I said before about this not working. I figured out what to edit and what not to edit so that it works(Loads without saying corrupt). First you need to make sure your User_data file has the checksum at the very bottom(No checksum means you need to make a different save until it appears). When you look up and find your characters name you need need to make sure it's the only instance with your stats near by. I had multiple hits when searching my characters name and must have edited the wrong offset. But i can turn off my xbox and load the file just fine after manually hex editing. Thanks to Idlehands88

I cant hex edit, but I tried something similar using the editor and get error failed to load or access save device. at least its not saying corrupted. I defeated the demon thing got the demon hammer but I cant give myself souls. /sadpanda.

You have to check where the checksum is in the DRAK0005 con when you look your name up in a search(search unicode for instances of you characters name). Only mod below the offset of the checksum,if the checksum is something like 0049722 and you found your stats at 0050345 do not mod, if it's below 0049722 like 0043704 then it's okay to edit. Basically if the offset of the checksum is more than where your stats are located do not edit them, only the instance that appears before the end of the checksum. pretty simple once you grasp the concept. Modio act funny after you edit your save the 1st time, but Horizon works better than modio in my opinion.I use Horizon all day for this type of editing.

So you used the save editor but did not light any bonfires? also did you rehash with modio or with horizon? horizon doesnt save my ids so i tend not to use it plus the bad luck i had with it.....

EDIT: Another thing down the drain. Attempted using the above mentioned trick about not using bonfires, still could not load save from device. Even tried using updated horizon, no go. One thing I noticed about the snuggly save editor, it changes your profile ID and your console ID. Just checking to see if anyone else noticed that.

So if anyone can give me a save I can rehash and resign using modio I would appreciate it. I'd like max souls at firelink shrine, with the demon hammer. Any martial class is fine, would prefer a monk or some other caster though. Thanks.

Yep don't rehash & resign it, don't use bonfires at tutorial until the 1 where the bird drops you ( there's a corpse near with humanity , pick up it and use it , go to bonfire and make yourself a human) , after you became human logg off with start option quit game and after that go to dashboard and then move save to pc and edit it with this editor ( humanity max 99 ) and save it, move back it to xbox 360 ... I swear it worked for me :D

10-10-2011, 10:28 PM

Ok I will try this then and see what happens.

I became human then quit. removed save from device with modio, backed up save. used save to give humanity and souls. did not rehash and resign in modio. got error unable to access selected storage device. it took me back to the start screen, i chose load again, and it worked. I was fully almost fully cursed but it worked. never save and quit next to a bonfire get as far away from the bonfire as you possibly can before you save and go to edit your save game.

EDIT: This works every single time I try it now. got 44000 health 2000 stamina the whole shebang. Keep away from bonfires for the love of god!!!!

No, you can save at any bonfire you want. But before you hit start and quit the game you cant be ANYWHERE near a bonfire. at the firelink shrine i run up the hill to where that fat guy was, up the stairs by the elevator and stand there, hit start and quit, then use the save editor on my save. it works!

EDIT: I just started a new save, did not leave my cell. used editor and it works im laughing now hehehe

Brand new here; awesome site! So what values do you use to make it essentially god mode? Or is this game so hard you can't possibly achieve that?! What are the maximum working values for everything? And you're sure you don't rehash/resign? We're all so conditioned to do that with save editing I can't believe it doesn't come up corrupt.

I found out the issue the issue is you need to

1. Have 1 Humanity [ Proven ]
2. Be away from a bon fire [ Not tested ]

try it out

im guessing it has to do with the checksum or somthing because Humanity is staying zero thus adding more Hex so it might Write over the humanity you don't have and corrupt the save or somthing in that matter.

wrong and wrong, if you take the time to read over what has been found out, you can see what some of the issues are.

I can mod humanity and anything without fail, regardless of where and when I do it. The USER_DATA0a overwrites USER_DATA01 depending on the offset. Which in turn either shows corrupt message or or you get the message "failed to load saved data." it's because it doesn't exists, try it out if you doubt this but I guarantee it's 100% accurate :)

i figured out that each time before you edit the save, you need to be at a new bonfire.
If you keep editing saves at the same bonfire, you will corrupt your save.

I found out the issue the issue is you need to

1. Have 1 Humanity [NOT TESTED]
2. Be away from a bon fire [ Not tested ]

try it out



im guessing it has to do with the checksum or somthing because Humanity is staying zero thus adding more Hex so it might Write over the humanity you don't have and corrupt the save or somthing in that matter.

lol fix i never had any humanity when modding and i was always at bon fire.

works 5/7

start game in : ONLINE MODE, Get to a : NEW BONFIRE, save you quit game in menu.
load in the editor edit souls or what ever..

Load in : OFFLINE MODE. (as in party chat)

Can anyone confirm ?


EDIT: i sincerly appologies i didnt notice i made a double post, ill edit next time i promise :)

Sooooooo...can people see if you have a modded character?

10-11-2011, 06:16 AM
The corruption is pretty random and is probably just something messed up with the USER_DATA files. I don't think it matters where you stand or how much humanity you have. I have edited the same save over and over by doing only one thing at a time and check it to make sure it works before I change anything else. Right now I can not edit my health or it will corrupt, last time it was something different. I can still change lots of other things with no problems, I just can't touch my health (I haven't tried everything). I am usually at the Firelink bonfire where the crow drops u off. For now, until they get it fixed, just edit as little as possible to give yourself an edge in the game and always make sure you back it up.

Two things that may make a difference, or not, is that I always stay offline with this character and it is the only one I have in the save file. My first save corrupted just by changing the souls and it was an online save with two characters in the file.

My char:

First mod: 99,999,999 souls--->okie
Level up to SL318 :-) running around to mid game....
When i run ot of soul, i decide to mod again.... For safety sake, i extracted 3 copies of savegame....
2nd mod corrupted :-(
Then, I injected 1st mode savegame, but 2 of the copies is also corrupted, only 1 worked, lucky me :-)

So, i think not only the save editor problem; it;s also the savegame extract program could make the file corrupted... I have tried both Modio and Xplorer360 xtreme 2...
Just got a Xbox memory card to test more... :-)

PS: sorry for my poor English

Hi, i have mod 20 times my savegames, different characters, bonfire souls ecc. All are corrupted
so i try to find the error between the original savegame and the modded, whith the editor i open a copy of my original savegame and without touch anything a click save
so, in my idea, whit an Hexcmp there'll be the same file, whith no differents but the file ARE DIFFERNT many line of each file are different!why?...

If you need the 2 savegame, the original and the edited tell me

Even if you edit your stats the game barely gets any easier. Editing Souls is about the best thing you can do. Being a low level with high stats will get you band if spotted. Humanity and Souls should be the only thing you get.

Yeah, but what if you edit your health? Or has that been too buggy for you?

Also, I heard that health and stamina reset down if you level up after editing. How do you avoid this and keep those 2 attributes suped?

10-11-2011, 04:11 PM
Dont know what the fuss is about but the editor works fine for me. The only weird thing is the stats. I put 8999 and the thing only shows up 99. Also the fact that I'm doing the same amount of damage when i had 12 stat to when I have 99. LOL.

Great editor. Superb mate.

I restarted and didn't edit my stats. I played 3 hours in my first game with all the mods and I didn't have a problem. The only thing that really bugged me is that my level wasn't proportional to my stats. Little things like that bug me.

Strangely enough, after it corrupting about 16 times...following the 1 humanity and be away from a bonfire actually friggin worked. I don't know how, I don't know why, but it did.

So, to test if it would still work, I took my backup save, spent that humanity kindling a fire, and then ran back to the same spot. Tried editing it. Corrupted file. Took backup file again, kept humanity, sat at bonfire. Corrupted file.

Pretty interesting. I wonder what causes it to save differently when you have a humanity point and aren't near a bonfire.

Vulnavia
10-11-2011, 08:27 PM
I not actually played it (but have the Game here and will start it today or tomorrow) but looked at the saves released and found at least one Backupcopy of the Stats for one Class and also one MD5 was not updated properly for one Class but that is probably a mistake of the Person that edited the save.

The Interesting Part is the Backupcopy of the Stats for one Class, there was even 2 Copy of the Stats i found that differed from the one that was edited only for the edited part.

So its possible that Backupcopies are made for the Class that is actually played and who knows if they are not compared somewhere and if they differ some nasty Things happens, you never know.

Because i only found these for one Class and not for the others in the save i suppose they are only made for the one actually played, also i looked at the whole Savefile not the single Userdata, so i don't know if they are located in one Userdata or if they are spreaded over the whole File somehow, will check it later.

But i think only the existence of such double and tripple Backups of the same Data is a bit suspicious...

For all of those who are having problems. Try to load your original. Take everything off of your character. Than hack it again. Also i have noticed that sometimes it will just corrupt it on that save while if you open it and resave it and than try it, it'll than work. At least for the version I have of it which is 1.0.1

I somehow glitched my file on my Xbox so I was able to copy. The picture that normally shows up in memory was gone, but when I clicked on it it still said "Dark Souls". Anyways, I'll gotten this to work over 20 times now, I'll explain exactly what I did, from the beginning.

0. Started a file as a thief, and finished the tutorial. Went and killed self once spawned at the Fire Link Shrine. Quit at bonfire, MAKING SURE, I was Undead, and not in human.

1. Moved my Dark Souls save onto my USB 4Gb Flashdrive.

2. Backed out of all menus until I was at the "My Xbox" section, thus to reduce chance of USB un-formatting.

3. Plugged the USB into my computer.

4. Opened up Horizon (I have a Diamond subscription I don't want to waste).

5. Clicked on the side bar to open up attached hard drives. (Xbox Hard drive, USB Flash drive, etc).

6. Opened it up to "Games" and dragged the "Draks0005" to my desktop.

7. Created a folder named "Dark Souls" and copied my "Draks0005" file into it.

8. Opened up the save editor, and changed stats to 9999, while putting health at 45000/45000 and stamina to 3000/3000.

9. Saved the file and opened up Horizon again.

10. Selected the attached Hard Drives again, and deleted "Dark Souls" from the game menu, while dragging the newly modded file onto games.

11. Closed Horizon, AND! Looked to the bottom right part of my screen, to detected USB drive. Right clicked, and selected "Safely Remove Hardware" thus making sure, all files are not corrupted.

It's worked everytime.

Damage is as easily increased, making stats max, they will scale perfectly. Look for any weapons with a rating of B-A in Dexterity or Strength. Although, Faith works as well with some weapons.

Shutdown Xbox.
New game got to 1st fire,
went to dashboard moved save to usb (wouldn't let me copy)
Extracted with Modio to desktop
edited all stats to 89, Humanity to 2 lol and Souls to 999,999 left LVL alone.
replaced the save and loaded game from usb (not moving it back to HD).
And the rest, as they say is History!

2: go on computer anad put the usb
