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. Make sure you find your name with your stats above the name (there should be 3 of your name in the DRAKS0005 file).
9. Copy/Paste the edited info from USER_DATA to DRAKS0005.
10. Go back to USER_DATA and copy the Checksum and search for it in the DRAKS0005 file.
11. Calculate the Checksum of USER_DATA and replace the old Checksum in DRAKS0005 with the new one.
12. Save, Rehash and Resign the save and replace it back on your USB (DON'T ADD THE USER_DATA BACK INTO THE DRAKS0005 FILE).
EDIT: @Turk lol that's awesome :P
Can you explain part 7-9 in a bit more detail? how do we find our character names on the drake file w/o having to scroll down looking for it? and it is possible to copy and paste character data from a previous edited file thats hasn't been corrupted yet? i have a backup save thats not corrupted yet but once i beat a boss or run around in the game it gets corrupted. im hoping its possible to just copy my char data to a fresh file cause i really don't want to start over in recollecting all my armor and items.

I have been using this method except I use hash block calculator to rehash/resign as it doesn't change the size of the file. Everything else I use changes the filesize to 4.5mb. Thanks Idle

Also would love to know how to add items to my user data. Anyone able to help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it.
I´d like to know that too...I know i have read that somewhere around here, but i can´t find it anymore.
What do i have to change to change the quantity of an item and how can i add a new item (i´d like to add some humanity items to my inventory)?
EDIT: Ok i found the thing with the quantity on page 15. Now i´m just looking for how to add items :)

Your items are kept in the inventory in sequential order as you obtain them. To add an item, find the last item in your inventory and add the new item after that, replacing the placeholder FFFFF...000000....FFFFFF....etc.
For example, items in your inventory in HexWorkshop will look something like this:
400000000000046A00000063000000450100000000000000000000004000000000
00046A0000000100000046010000000000000000000000400000000000046A0000
000300000047010000000000000000000000400000000000046A0000006300000
048010000000000000000000000FFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFFFF0 00000000FFFFFFF
0000000FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF000000000FFFFFFFF00 000000FFFFFFFF00000
where the BLUE is the item quantity and the RED is the inventory sequence number. Since 48 is the last item in your inventory sequence, if you want to add something, you would give it sequence number 49.
So, if you want to add 99 humanity you would replace the first sequence of placeholder FFFFF00000FFFFFF00000...etc. with 40000000000001F40000006300000049010000000000000000 000000.
I added a bunch of stuff last night and it worked fine. Just be sure your quantity and inventory sequence numbers are in HEX. I'm no expert by any means so I hope this makes sense.
Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
I updated my post on the first page with a structure viewer that has all the item IDs i had on my compter. I will update it with what's all on the list after work. :P Yay for dropdown boxes.
Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
Thank you guys, but it seems that i can only mod stats.
As soon as i touch the items the save is corrupt.
Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
Just a quick question hopefully someone will read this. When you guys who get corrupted saves pull your save to your pc are you using the same old container from a previous DRAK005 or pulling a new one each time?
