cross platform save transfer?

[MaGiik]

saw this on gamepass and wanted to give it a go, after playing a few hours ive decided i want to buy it on steam but id rather not lose my game progress, is there a way to transfer saves or local save that i can copy across or anything of the sort?

+1, I think gamepass does not create a gcpf file, is thre anyway to transfer or convert it? I found an uncompressed JSON file.

Depending on how comfortable you are with coding, you can use the python file found here. https://cohost.org/hecate/post/1423013-i-wrote-a-quick-n-sh.

I had the same issue and this packaged the file correctly

With the uncompressed JSON file from the game pass save you can rename it to fileX.json.gz (where X is the slot you want the save file in, ex file1.json.gz).

(Game Pass save is further into this path: C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Packages\RawFury.CassetteBeasts_9s0pnehqffj7t\SystemAppData\wgs\) It will be a file with a long file name of numbers and letters next to a file named container.

Then you have to find a Godot packager that can package it into the .gcpf file. I found a python script online that let me do that but I am not sure I can link that here.

Then you place the save in C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\CassetteBeasts

Where's the uncompressed json file?

Good God in heaven! Thank you zenNation for linking to this brilliant script created by
PandorasFox.

Just to clarify for anyone stumbling onto this form later on. Follow this link to
PandorasFox's github and download their gcpfpack.py script: https://gist.github.com/PandorasFox/0b771e0bc64dfeb2e212437ff1a26b93

Navigate to:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\RawFury.CassetteBeasts_9s0pnehqffj7t\SystemAppData\wgs\
and then click into the 2 folders that follow until you have no more folders to click into.

You should see a file named with random letters and numbers no extension (your uncompressed JSON) and file called like contain.219. Copy and paste the gcpfpack.py script into this folder.

Now open Windows Terminal (or powershell or CMD) and navigate to that folder from earlier using the "cd" command....

EXAMPLE:

cd C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Local\Packages\RawFury.CassetteBeasts_9s0pnehqffj7t\SystemAppData\wgs\0009000002246C04_00000000000000000000000079092G4A\67F77F91B3F8422AB2C72AA7E37H39KK

run the script with the command "python gcpfpack.py repack WHAT_EVER_YOUR_FILE WAS CALLED file1.json.gz.gcpf

Hit enter and let the magic happen. Takes like 1 second. copy that .gcpf file into "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\CassetteBeasts" and you should be golden.

Thank you so much for the tutorial, I was looking exactly this. After this are you playing with your save?

note: use the command "py" instead of "python" for that last bit that is the only thing that worked on Windows10

[Yogourht]

I love you all. thanks for the explanation, I'm a noob in Python and still manage to create the file

[Lokey]

Hey thanks to this thread, I managed to moved my save file from gamepass to steam. I appreciate the help and explanation.

does this work with version 1.5? i see 3 different save file folders. Do I do this 3 times for each?

I just wrangled with this for longer than I really should have, so I figure I'd say that these instructions DO work for me on the current version of the game. The instructions here are a little ambiguous as to which files and folders you need to copy where, so to clarify for other people like myself who need quite precise details:

• I don't know about everyone else running the game, but I also have 3 files that resemble "file1.json.gz.gcpf". One is called that, one is called "file1.json.gz.gcpf1" (the same thing with a 1 at the end), and one is called "file1.json.gz.gcpf2" (the same thing with a 2 at the end). You do not need to replace all three saved files. Replacing only the ".gcpf" file with the one created by the command is enough to transfer your save. You don't need to transfer three different files.
  
• In case it wasn't super clear, when you're running the ".py" script, the file that "WHAT_EVER_YOUR_FILE_WAS_CALLED" refers to is NOT the "container.###" file. Use the file that's a bunch of uppercase numbers and letters as the file after the word "repack". The command that you run will look something like

   py gcpfpack.py repack 897SAD89789F712131 file1.json.gz.gcpf 

  . (Man, my reading comprehension skills feel atrophied)
  
• If the folder inside "AppData\Local\Packages\RawFury.CassetteBeasts_9s0pnehqffj7t\SytemAppData\wgs" has multiple folders directly inside of it, then multiple XBox profiles have run the game. There's a few ways to figure out which one is associated with which profile (you can find them online- I don't know enough to explain it clearly). If you can't do figure it out, you can also try copying and pasting each profile's .json.gz.gcpf file into your "\AppData\Roaming\CassetteBeasts" folder until one of them happens to be your save.

Also, when you load up your save, you get all the Steam achievements that you've earned in your save already! Thank you, Bytten Studio
