Fallout 2 Savegame Editor

[Felipefpl]

I added the changes, but in the future you should make changes to the Brazilian Portuguese.lng, which is in the archive with the latest version of the editor.

oops, sorry about that, btw, do you intend when you have some free time in the future to add support for fallout tactics savegames or will you just stay with fallout 1 and 2?

1) sfall global variables
2) sfall arrays
3) fake perks and fake traits

All this stuff is usefull if you stuck in the game due to some bug. Or for testing sfall-based mods.

Any ideas where to get names for all this variables, perks and traits?

Also seems restoration project doesn't use all this features. What mod can I use to test the changing all these things?

I will stay with Fallout 1 and 2. Tactics is a different game with a different formats of all files.

RP surely using it. If you get

Spoiler

slot jinxer perk in EPA

for example, it will be saved in sfallgv.sav. Also barter mod and weapon drop mod use global variables. If you know how to script, It's easy to spam your savegame with various stuff. You can get file structure from sfall source codes (LoadGameHook.cpp, SaveGame2() method). This is given you're interested in so much work

Anyone can tell me what value I have to enter to set an ebony female character ? thx

I can't help.

Why in the first place my message deleted in what sake ? This really does not make any sense.
I asked a normal question, why you can not help with it, it IS your mod ! So it would be dumb not to ask you but anyone.

What the heck? Your post is still there at #176. vad can't delete your post because he's not a moderator or admin. And it's not a MOD, it's only a program for editing saves. It doesn't support sfall data yet, and hero appearance mod is part of sfall. BTW, you can change your appearance and sex when you enter EPA.

Seriously, stop saying your posts got deleted. Try reload or refresh your browser window, the cause is probably your ISP (with forced proxy) or system/browser settings.

Man, will you stop making assumptions ? If I say my post got deleted ! Then it is ! You are not a moderator then how come you can talk as if you can view history I lol'ed that hard. My deleted post was afterwards #176. So this means it got deleted anyway. The one with wiki was from my end probably the reason you mentioned, but not this.

OP did not even care to explain the question I've asked.

@vad, what is a "script descriptor"?

Thank you


EDIT: Oops another question, when you update F12se do you update F1se as well? In other words, I always want to make sure I'm using the very newest version of your software, but I only use for Fallout, but I'm not sure if F12se and F1se always get updated together. EDIT EDIT: Looks like I should use F12se since the other one hasn't been udpated in a while

There is no value, because animations don't exist for a black chick player character. This save editor can't do that anyway.

Now I am very busy and have some free time only on Saturday and Sunday.

what is a "script descriptor"?

In MAP File Format "script descriptor" is known as "PID : PID of the script.". In this translated version some information from the original is missing.

They connect scripts to objects in the map(AFAIR for items they match with 0x44 offset for items in inventory). They have format 0M00NNNN, where 0M - type, NNNN - unique ID in this sequence.

Types	from SeaWolf	from Mapper2.exe
0x00	-	s_system
0x01	spatial	s_spatial
0x02	items	s_time
0x03	scenery	s_item
0x04	critters	s_critter

"WARNING The number of script descriptors used do not match. xx vs 16" is almost the same as "if (check != count) {" in C code in MAP File Format documentation.

Along that question, is there anything that can be done about this kind of issue strictly in Fallout not Fallout 2:

Script type = 0 has never met in Fallout 2, so there are ERRORs in the log, because I even don't know size for it.
If Fallout loads these maps, upload them and those with script descriptor warning somewhere. I will look at them.

Looks like I should use F12se since the other one hasn't been udpated in a while

Yes, I do not update F1se and F2se. Back-porting changes would be difficult.

 

[Sduibek]

Okay thank you, I'll provide you some files later.

I don't understand, there is nothing in .MAP file about music for map and whether map is saved when visited... I know this is in .txt files in Fallout 2, I guess that means it's stored in Falloutw.exe in Fallout

 

[Felipefpl]

Updated translation, i used notepad.

 

[SevenBlueSeven]

Thank you!

This is the perfect tool I was looking for.

I will use it with the 1.2 patch before I try out the RP update.

hey, i have problems with the Saveeditor, and try'd finding if other have same problem and if they solved it, i have a few save files in a 7zip archive, and sent to vad's email, according to this site, but i gotten no reply at all... um... the problem

i edit the savefile (whatever i edit, within limits or not, does not seem to change what happens)
load it up in Fallout 2, no problems
Save it in Fallout 2, no problem
reloading the save, Crash...

 

[phobos2077]

I see you have added ability to edit Sfall global variables, but did not write about it. Hope it will not brake my savegames
That's really cool, thanks!

I didn't receive any mail. Whatever, crash can be caused by editor or not.
Long ago I found out that with Megamod(some old version) loading will crash if you start new game, save in starting location, exit game, launch game and try to load saved game. And thats after few hours I spent to find bug in my editor.
To fix problem crash should be reproducible and it must be caused by editor. In Fallout saved games can become corrupt by themselves, without editing. (rare case of course, but more often with some mods installed)

I see you have added ability to edit Sfall global variables, but did not write about it. Hope it will not brake my savegames
That's really cool, thanks!

I did not write about it because I have not finished tab with editing sfall files, because could not think of a convenient way to show and edit perks and arrays.

Я не написал, поскольку не закончил вкладку для редактирования sfall'овских файлов. А не закончил её потому, что не смог придумать как это сделать удобным отображение и редактирование перков и массивов.

Where do I go to get the absolute newest version of this save editor? I am playing Fallout 2 using Killap's Fallout 2 Restoration Project version 2.3.3. I have not tried out this save editor yet because I want to make sure that I am using the absolute newest version. Thank you.

 

[vad]

On the first page of the topic.

Universal Fallout & Fallout 2 savegame editor - direct link. (this is latest version)

I dropped the development of the editor a few months ago and do not plan to do it in the near future. However I will fix bugs if they are found.

Will you consider sharing source code with community (to fix bugs, etc.)? Yours are the best save editor ever and it will be great shame if you disappear and the project dies.

Bug: sometimes when I open the editor, it's window gets minimized to a tiny size so I can barely notice it on my screen. Setting minimum width/height for the main window should help, I think.
I know I'm not the only one who experienced this.
