I have largely moved on from this project, so no new features are planned, no major updates are in the pipeline, and only simple bug fixes will be performed. You are welcome to fork and continue the project on your own, just give credit.

Requirements

Windows 7 (or compatibility mode)
???

Installation

Download the DRG Save Editor.zip file and extract the zip file and start the editor using the "start editor.cmd" batch file.

Known Issues

Due to a change in how overclocks are stored adding overclocks is broken and will completely reset your save if you try it. As such, adding OCs has been disabled and will not happen, even if you somehow manage to add some to the "Acquired but unforged" section.
The editor works by looking for specific values in the raw data of the save, it doesn't decode the data into a nice, neat python object. As a result if certain things aren't present in the save (e.g., >0 forged overclocks, certain resources) the editor will malfunction and give nonsensical results. The solution is to acquire at least one of the resources in game then use the editor.

Troubleshooting

If the editor fails to start, please add a second line to the "start editor.cmd" that's just "pause". This will let you see any error messages that will be necessary for bug fixes.

If the editor opens but doesn't edit your save properly (i.e., values not being read properly, changes not being reflected in-game, etc) please open an issue, describe the problem as thoroughly as you can, and attach a copy of your save file from BEFORE any edits were attempted.

Usage

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SAVE FILE!

The editor will make a backup of the save file you open in the same folder as the save file with the extension of .old. The editor makes this backup at the moment you open the save file.

The editor should be pretty self-explanatory, see the screenshot below.

Some notes:

There is a context menu in the overclock tree listing to add overclocks to the inventory
You can CTRL+Click on overclocks to select more than one
Changing XP values will update the other relevant fields when the focus changes (i.e., click on a different part of the program or another program entirely)
If you have promotions beyond Legendary 3 those promotions will be preserved as long as the drop-down is set to "Legendary 3+". If you don't have enough promotions for a specific dwarf and set them to "Legendary 3+" it will keep whatever the original value was.

Changelog

v1.5
- Updated editor for Season 2
- Can adjust season xp and scrip
- Can edit amount of phazyonite
- Disabled adding OCs as it's currently broken and it's more effort than I'm willing to put in to figure it out. See the comments in main.py (line 767) if you're interested.
- Missing data for the new overclocks (for the new secondary weapons)
v1.4.4
- Added option to select all files when opening save files
v1.4.3

v1.3.7
