Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
Hey guys just started to try and hex edit my items. And i get the amount of the items i want but once they are used in the game my user_data disappears form my save and it makes it so i get a failed to load message. is there a way to make it so the game doesn't delete your user data?

I've posted how to twice now (Magnus you should add to the first post)
Code:
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. 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).
Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
this thread is quickly turning into the previous one...not to sound rude but way to many people that have no idea what they're doing asking for help. this thread is NOT for asking for help with your corrupted, lost, destroyed, or non-working save. also if you're having trouble editing whether its your souls, weapons, items, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. There's a number of mini-guides that have been posted and even a few tutorials, so sick of every other post it being someone that joined 2 days ago saying "i tried to load my save and didn't re-hash or checksum and now its not working whyyyyyyy???"
have some goddamn common sense and try to search for an answer to your problem. with that being said, if you don't have any hexing experience, i.e. you don't know what a checksum is or how to convert a decimal to hex or locate a variable (3 extremely basic things with hex), you don't need to be trying to hex your save. end of point.
some of us here are trying to actually accomplish something, like mapping out all the data in the save and get a full item library built and it doesn't help when I go to check for updates and its a whole page of people crying about bunked saves. if you don't know wtf you're doing then gtfo and wait until a derp-friendly item editor is released.
/end rant

I just decided to come look now and I already agree.
Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
Very simple solution to your problem, stop giving a fuck. Also your post is entirely pointless because you just posted something that has nothing AT ALL to do with this thread. Let the mods to their job if they see posts unfit.
I managed to edit some quantity on items with the structure, and the save worked ingame but there were no changes, I still had the same amount of items that I had before I started to edit.

I tried this out next, but steps 8-9 are realllly vague, as in why should we search for our names and where do we paste the edited info? directly inside DRAKS0005? at the top/bottom?

The mods... Magnus IS a mod and he asked for people to stay on topic with just posting things related to modding the game, not for help with modding the game for new people.
for step 8 you HAVE to search for your name because that is the easiest way to find your user data in the full save. for step 9 you have to copy/paste the exact info you edited in the USER_DATA into the full save (for the checksum to be correct). If you still need help use the search or make a new topic, stop spamming this one...
NOW PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC!!!!
Re: Dark Souls Modding Discussion Only!
The structure file is coming along nicely. Thanks to the info earlier i was able to get the spells section added and i also found the equpied gesture list. I havent found out how to change what gestures you have unlocked yet though. That should come soon after i find another npc to learn a gesture from. I found a value that adds the curse skull to your humanity counter but not the curse effect itself oddly so i get to have fun trying to find the status ailments. I will update the file in the second post at some point.
Edit: How many people actually find my structure file usefull?

I load the bookmark file usually, just because it makes doing the checksum much quicker. I dl'ed your structure file, and loaded it into Hex Workshop, but it wasn't clear to me exactly what to do after that. There's those two items in structure window, but there didn't seem to be anyway to use them or do something with them. I say this as a person capable of hex editing, but not someone who would say.. write an editor. So, it's possible their use or that part of Hex Workshop is just over my head.
I just finished clearing out the world of the painting. Sadly, Priscilla died while invisible, and so I couldn't cut off her tail... no Priscilla's dagger for me (I'm phenomenally frustrated and pissed off about that.. my attacks stats aren't hacked at all either, no OHKO to bosses. I just kept swinging at her when I could tell where she was.. waiting for her to go visible so I could get the tail... *sigh*
Anyway, if I can figure out how one identifies the items in your inventory, I'll be set to add a bunch of as-yet unlisted items.
