Before playing with your savegames, it is ALWAYS a good idea to BACK THEM
UP! The savegames in Battlespire are organized in the SAVE(x)
subdirectories, where x is a number from 0 to 9. Save0 is the first savegame
displayed, Save1 is the 2nd, etc. Figure out which savegame you want to
modify. Using a hex editor, you will need to edit 2 files: SAVEVARS.DAT and
SAVETREE.DAT. Both are found in the Save(x) dir; do NOT edit either
IMAGE.RAW or SAVENAME.DAT. Open each file and goto the Offsets (Dec) listed
below. At each offset, enter the HEX value that you want that stat to be;
0-00h and 99-63h; these are the min and max values for these locations,
respectively. Make sure you change ALL 4 locations (2 in SAVEVARS.DAT and 2
in SAVETREE.DAT) per attribute.
Disclaimer:
While the savegames seem to all follow the same format, it is possible that
it may change. Before using these savegame hex locations, make sure that the
savegames you are working with were created with Battlespire *v1.3* (in
other words, if you haven't applied the v1.3 patch yet, DO IT BEFORE
CREATING THE SAVEGAMES YOU WANT TO MODIFY!!! I have found these locations
after lots of hex comparisons and they seem to consistently work, but I will
NOT be held responsible for any damages incurred in this procedure.
NOTE: Offsets are in DEC!!
