ELEX 2 savegame modifier

You can choose from almost all items available in the game.

(Didn't check them all so do replacements with a little sense of logic, please.)

##########################################################

There is a certain risk that the E2-SG-modifier could spoil a savegame when modifying it.

So if you can't restore spoiled savegames (if any) because you were too lazy to create backups BEFORE

then        DON'T BLAME ME

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tested on Win 10 successfully. Added search items/NPCs and apply user mapmarkers to them.

- added a short "search dead" html tutorial

For Win 7 ELEX2 savegames are usually to be found here: :\Users\YourAccount\Saved Games\ELEX2\SaveGames

--- ELEX 2 savegame modifier (.save) ---

----------------------------------------------------------

- First of all: I wouldn't recommend to use this tool before

you've finished ELEX 2 one time at least.

- Secondly it's not intended to be a cheat tool.

I strongly recommend NOT to cheat XPs to increase your level

in your first playthrough.

Especially don't try to gain higher faction ranks this way.

But I can't (and won't) prevent you from spoiling your game.

So it's up to you to improve your gaming experience instead...

btw:  you shouldn't modify the savegame you just loaded in ELEX2!

This could cause a loss of data integrity!

Seems to be safe when the game is paused - no problems so far.

---------------------------------------------------

Change of attribs, soul (destruction), XP and players inventory.

You <can't> expand the inventory, though, just overwrite existing items.

(That's why it's called 'modifier', not 'editor'.)

--- SO BE CAREFUL which items to overwrite! ---

v 1. 4: introduced setting of UMMs (user mapmarkers) after having searched for NPCs

or items (after having looted such items remove their markers manually to avoid confusion!)

v 1. 51: introduced a Quest logging. Results may be used for finishing "hanging" quests.

Three log files are being created (where xx= save number):

ObjPos_list-SaveData_00xx.txt, GEv_list_SaveData_00xx.txt and

Quests_log-SaveData_00xx.txt

Read Elex2_change_quest_status.jpg to understand how to set a quest to "success".

Use this feature with care!

v 1. 52: can create a savegame list which shows parameters, playtime, stats, level

Menue point Misc\"log save dir" is available after at least one savegame opening.

Well, I thought of a sorting by time, level, STR, whatever parameter but

I need more playing time rather than wasting it with coding...

So feel free to feed the lines from E2_save_dir.txt to a csv file for further treatment.

v 1. 53a: reworked UMM feature, including reset of mapmarker list

html tutorial how to mark the dead on the map via skull

It_Ammo_xxx Use with care! Can give 150 of them.

Replacing certain items with NO SENSE OF LOGIG might

cause the game to go bogus.   You have been warned.

So, don't replace

your jetpack

Quest Items, see list below (not all are Q-items, though)

And better don't replace an item by another jetpack (it won't be usable, either).

Most items are untested, especially the 'extra' ones.

known bugs up to version 1. 1: offset of one line with item amount;

could cause your 99999 Elexit to be replaced by some cheap weapon, sorry

- v 1. 5. 2: UMMarker feature accidentially "overwritten" by posList feature (fixed with 1. 52b)

- v 1. 5. 2b: DON'T use it!

- v 1. 5. 3: When there's NO mapmarker in a savegame the message "Error: wrong UMM addr!" appears.
