I got it working but it's not showing my craft items just my weapons
Like I said in my original post, upload your save and send it to me so I can take a look at it.
Here is a preview of v1.6

I think I love you, man. My main issue is the fact that I don't have many online friends and when i want to transfer something from say my Logan file who has a level 50 gabe's hammer to my Sam B file... It becomes a pain. :( All in all it looks very good and I'll be happy to toy with it once you toss out the update and see if I can find any issues.
Good work fella on the editor, great wee tool! i've just started playthru 2 and i'm well bored with jumping about the resort, can i change the chapter i'm on with this or not? if you can, what the trick to it?
thanks again brother
Looking forward to v 1.6. Thanks for the efforts and time :D
1.6 looks great! Are you going to have the ability to change what color the weapon is? (purple, orange, etc)
Also, how are you able to edit the damage that a weapon does? I didn't think that was stored in the savegame.
When ever you edit a weapon it will instantly be changed to orange. Adding all the colors will take way to long to code.
It's stored in the saves but not the exact value, you'll have to play around with it first.
I haven't looked at the damage 100% yet because I'm not finished with the levels.
OK tried this editor out and it wasn't really working for me it would load my save but wouldn't let me save my changes. This has been fixed by me downloading it from the first mirror instead of the second.
Anyway it works now and I love it. I wish I knew how to do this stuff lol. And to those asking that didn't get a response. Yes if you edit your level to 50 use your points then want to edit back down. This editor lets you edit back down and keeps you back down.
That was the same issue I was having... I thought it was just on my end. Here try this, it seemed to work for me. Instead of just hitting 'save' when you overwrite your old save file on your computer during the extract proccess. Actually click on the old save and overwrite it that way. Not just the name, but make sure the icon is highlighed etc. When I started saving like that I had no issues with the editor at all.
Note that you will not get more skill points for releveling. 49 is where it caps. You'll also gain exp normally so if you want to stay at a low level you'll need to downlevel again every so often.
Ah yes..thank you for adding that.
Thanks buddy. Your version allows you to do the "unlimited" ammo and your item max outs actually work. Thanks again cheers!
Version 1.6 is now available to download.
First to test it out! W00t.
Some things I noticed. When upgrading things to orange it upgraded everything even my bombs and my craft items.
It seems to lower the level of items. My level 50 tesla hammer became level 1, my level 50 pistol became level 12, my level 50 heavy hammer became level 14. This was a test run and the one's I set to level 50 are level 50 but the damage changed. My white shotgun had 1080 damage and actually dropped to 841. (this might just be number value though which people who've tested say don't mater.)
Other then that I had no corruptions, I was able to alter my ammo etc still and it seems to be working.
Maybe a 'Max All' for item levels would help? Or a 'set all' function where you can set all items that can be levled up to a certain level. Not NOW by any means but something to consider if/when you go for 1.7!
Yeeeea, wupload sucks (from past experiences), haven't tried it for this tho.
If someone times-out due to the server's high-traffic for free downloading, you have come back after a while because if you try to re-download it it says 1 download at a time.
I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before people start posting about that.
Mediafire, never failed me personally as both.
As far as the app goes,
Keep up the good work seth. Looks great so far, man.
Your updating way faster than Japi's editor, and it works better than japi's, so keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback. The reason why it makes all your weapons change to 1 is because the values are not consistent amongst all weapons, so I have to set them to the real value for each level. As for all the Damage, I don't have a clue why it's changing like that. It could be because there are more values for the levels and not just the ones I have set. I'm still researching everything concerning the levels, but haven't reached the damage yet.
I think that it might be randomizing the items when they're brought back up to 50. My guns all went down in damage, but my Zed's Demise whent up in damage when I brought it back to 50. It was 1994 before and it's 2060 after. I'll play with it a little bit and lower the level and raise it back up to see if it's kicking out the random stats that items get. (Which you can alter if you go through a loading screen and back before picking up the quest reward. I tested it with Gabe's Hammer to see how high I could get it.) Now that it's not 6 am I'll play with it. Might be a little while before I post since I gotta run errands today, but I shall test it!
just tryin to help everyone who has trouble moddin link to my new saves.. (people who need it will search for it)
No Thread Hijacking
Edit: PureIso
Okay. I havn't done an extensive test with every item in my inventory but it doesn't -seem- to be random at all.
Zed's Demise at level 50 does 2016 damage.
Zed's Demise at level 1 does 157 damage.
Zed's Demise taken back to level 50 does 2016 damage.
Pride Short Shotgun at level 50 does 841 damage.
Pride Short Shotgun at level 18 (wont go to level 1) does 357 damage.
Pride Short Shotgun brought back to level 50 does 841 damage.
But there are some variations.
Original Orange Pistol (no first name modifier like Feeble, Weak, etc) does 452 damage after being upgraded to level 50. This lost roughly 100 damage from it's original damage when using the editor.
Feeble Pistol upgraded to level 50 and modded to be orange does 507 damage.
I also found a low end white Wakizashi that I took from 549 damage at level 45 to 2026 damage at level 50 and orange.
So what I'm thinking is that damage is actually tied directly to whatever the 'name' is. Even if it doesn't seem like it in game because the numbers are so minor at your level range, taking them to orange level 50 items will show the differences. I'd imagine that a 'spiteful' pistol, which has the top damage that Iv'e seen, when taken to level 50 orange will have higher damage then a non-named pistol or something like Feeble or Weak.
I obviously can't test every name, but as a general idea from what I've seen in my testing this -should- be accurate. Either way it's not randomized because a level 50 Zed's Demise taken back down to level 1 and reupped to level 50 has the same stats as the originally modded level 50.
Your damage and such WILL vary and change when you first mod though. Keep that in mind if you have a high level high damage/force weapon. If you open the save editor it will drop it to level 1 and you'll end up with randomized stats instead of the one's you originally had. In the long run though it doesn't seem to lower damage, save for guns and people are under the impression that an orange gun will always do max damage for that level regardless of what the numbers say.
When I tested it I saw that when you raise the level the damage raises with it.
Then, when you change the color the worth value raises with it.
For example, a white level 1 weapon would be worth $150, and the same weapon changed to orange would be worth $850.
I believe there is still more values for the level that could result in higher damage, but I haven't been able to look yet.
I got some school work I need to take care of first, but once I'm done I'll be sure to check it out.
Also, just to confirm what I was talking about when I said, "values are not consistent amongst all weapons," I meant the corresponding Hex values which are in the gamesave.
Thanks i want for my save game lvl 50 lol :bigsmile:
I'm really impressed with this weapon modifier. Looking forward to playing with it when I get back home. :)
I like you editor but for some reason I'm in Act 1 and it only reads my weapons not my craftable materials until I get to Act 2
Thanks for this! After loosing real saves to corruption, it's nice to know that I can get back some of my time.
mabey downloading the new version?
Hey Kill_Seth. was wondering what my problem could be. I saw that you say to upload our saves for you if we are having a problem but, before I ask you to do that I would really like to use your program. Everything seems to work until I hit save and then it says Unable to save. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance
this link isn't working for me at all
such a great editor but a problem hit my save. so i found this short shotgun which blue (im level 50 btw) that has over 1k dmg. i wanted to put lots of ammo on it. i forgot that your editor turns everything orange right w/o clicking change color. and now my blue short shotgun is ruined. went from 1k dmg to a mere 775 dmg thank god for the back up. same with my pink auto rifle that does over 500+ dmg that went down to 452 >.<
edit: it doesn't really bother me since i got that blue shotgun from an npc hehehe. im sure i can get another one "btw this was in the prison area. "
Can someone please help me! I can't figure out why I can't save anything . As soon as I press save it says "Unable to save". I would really like to use this awesome program. thanks
Try downloading it from the other source. When I first tried this editor it would not allow me to save my changes until I re-downloaded it from the original source.
i use your 1.5 all the time but your new one looks even better can you put it on mega upload or something like that or send it to me thanks for the good work on dead island this game is the best
works great just hate that my zed demise went from lvl 50 2072 damage to lvl 50 1937 damage other then that thanx & keep up the good work.
Not sure as to where the original source is. If you mean at the its on the first page of this thread I have tried that twice. Still says unable to save.
@ kill_Seth , I appreciate you getting back to me. I can upload the save for you but again I would rather use your program so I don't have to bother you everytime I get new stuff. If you or someone can upload the program that you are actually using that would be great or a link. Your program loads my save fine, and lets me change everything but can't save. Guess i will have to upload , I just hope it gives you some insight as to why I can't save changes done by program

I was able to save it without a problem.
Hmmm I am not sure then, guess a while back there were two download links. One did not work for me. Still not getting it to work? Maybe just do it as use as admin?
If nothing ill try saving it too tomorrow to see if it works on my end.
Thanks. Yeah on vista I always use the run as admin. I can't figure out why it won't save for me. Weird.
@Kill_Seth Well im glad my save is fine. Just wish I could figure out why it won't save for me. I downloaded it again and still nothing. Well I appreciate you trying to help. Thank you
Try running as admin and don't delete any files that show up after opening your save.
