Character save Editing Research and help

[狐神｜Kitsugami]

I'm researching information required to edit ones character info in the save files, so you can have more control over your character's characteristics and stuff.

So far I have identified some Key areas in the save file when it comes to editing things about your character, I will cover what i know of the first and easiest area to work with, making notes in bold if it works, this area can be easily found by using ctrl+F and searching ""E": {".
Before I begin its worth noting that with in a save you will come across ""$id": "x"" entires everywhere they are useless for finding anything unless you already know the number you want, every entry has one they never repeat, starting for 1 at the top of the save and counting up as you progress down, basically only denoting where that entry is located in in the save and not corresponding with any specific entry, the value will be different for each person when it comes to finding things and will also change as you play and the save file grows making it useless to reference them with in your own save as after playing a bit it will be different, it appears that "E": { is only ever used for this one function within the save, that I will now cover:
"E": {
"$id": "253", will be a number, useless to us ignore it
"ints": [
1, Character Sex
0, Unknown, Always "0"
50, Weight
100, Height
5, Birth Day
12, Birth Month
400, Birth Year
501, Birth Place 2, #500-521
386, Father 2, #300-388
339, Mother 2, #300-388
716, Birth Place 1, #700-751
154, Father 1, #100-238
237, Mother1, #100-238
152, Unknown, would be nice to know
74, Unknown, would be nice to know
33, Unknown, would be nice to know
26, Unknown, would be nice to know
43, Unknown, would be nice to know
41, Unknown, would be nice to know
3 Unknown, would be nice to know
],
now if you directly copied that your would be an 85 year old, obese midget born in toilet in the void to horrible parents.
anyways the one issue to looking for "E": { entries is there are multiple and they all like similar, from my experience your character will be the first one though, and you can also double check by comparing the values to your characters current values in various area.
I have a list for what all the values are for parents and birth places though i wont post them here at the moment as they would take up too much room, if I find all the info i need i may make a steam guide where you can find everything, but for now this post is to help me compile information needed for character customisation.

The next area to note is the is the can usually be found as the top most entry that comes up when you search "T3", it will look like this"
"T3": [
49 hobby, #1-52
],
"T4": [
28 work. #1-52
],
this areas controls the hobby and work of a character, and it often located close above the following area nearby a variable amount as more or less may be located between them on a save, it may also be part of the the start of a character entry, though I'm not totally sure:
"8": [
"White Hair Fox",
"eyth",
"home",
null,
null
],
This section does I would not edit for my purposes as its stuff you change in game and have a lot of control over, its useful however for locating your character info to verify you have the right entry for one of the prior mentioned ones, this entry is usually below the T3 entry previously mentioned and pardon the disorganisation I'm still figuring things out as i go a bit, the following type of section:
"Z": {
"$id": "255",
"4": "witch",
"21": "depended",
"9": "foxfolk_f-59",
"1": "Name Here",
"22": "default",
"3": "mifu"
}
},
usually marks the end of a specific characters entry
with in this type of entry
1 is always name, 3 is Race, 4 is class, 9 is the picture used for them, 21 is personality and 22 witch only shows up for the player and a small handful of characters like fiama and ashland witch I believe is character speak quirks, and maany characters do not have all types aside from the player the following is Ashland for example:
"Z": {
"$id": "328",
"21": "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥",
"22": "friendly|私|君"
Vs. a random adventurer:
"Z": {
"$id": "605",
"3": "snail",
"4": "tourist",
"21": "depended",
"1": "Dam"
In the cases of unique npc they will have a "B": "x" entry with their name, well many others will just be called adv, like Dam the snail from above, if you scroll up, though its usually faster to scroll down from the previous "Z": { entry, also its worth noting the ""B":" is used a lot its the top one in characters section you want for their alias or whatever.
For option 22, "friendly|私|君" in the Z section above it actuality seems to be broken down in to 3 parts:
The first party "witch seems to have 3 variants "friendly, "polite, and "rude but could have more being their overall speech pattern, so being like ashland who's personally is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is still talks in a friendly manor, well adv_gaki is cheerful but talks rude,
the 2ed part is how they refer to themselves there are 2 variations as far as i can tell from looking at my own save, 私 (watashi) and アタシ (atashi) watashi is more proper being the normal way to refer to ones self, well Atashi is a less proper feminine way to refer to ones self, Gaki is the only one to refer to them self as atashi, though i have not met them it helps give a good image of their character and fits with the fact they are cheerful and rude, i am assuming they are a young woman or girl who is very informal and maybe tries to act cute or seductive anyways. the 3ed part is how they address others and has 4 variations from what I can see on my save:
あなた (anata) 貴方 (anata), 君(kimi), お前 (omae)
I'm not sure why they have an option for anata written in both hiragana and kanji, the only one withe the hiragana version is Fiama, they mean the same thing maybe the Hiragana one is meant to be less formal, but if it was spoken there would be no difference, all the polite characters and one of the 4 friendly characters use the kanji version, Faima who is also friendly uses the Hiragana.
Kimi is less formal is more endearing its used by 2 of the 4 friendly characters.
Omae, is the most rude version only used by Gaki who as previously mentioned has a rude speech and uses the informal atashi, they sound like a gyaru or something to me will their characteristics.

anyways the player also has a 22 option but its unique simply called "default" witch makes me wonder are the other options? can the player have different options with out save editing?


anyways what i really need help with as I'm totally clueless to is how to change favourites/favourite foods if anyone has info that could help please share.

If you're willing to gift a copy of the game, I could fill in the blanks for you. I do this kind of thing a lot (data mining/modding games I guess?), but I only downloaded the demo so far and will probably wait for a sale.

I don't expect a response to the above post ^^ but I did some digging anyway... and spent waay too much time looking around and figuring out how food preference works since that's what you mentioned. It turned out to be a bit more complicated than everything else to find lol.

anyways what i really need help with as I'm totally clueless to is how to change favourites/favourite foods if anyone has info that could help please share.

Anyway, the food preference is actually tied to the "seed" property in the save file and is generated randomly each load using that rather than being saved to the file.

For example, in the demo version my original seed was "9961", my character liked bodies and sauteed fish, but when I changed it to "8571" my character now likes stew and something else.

This sucks if you want to change your food preference, but modders can figure it out and add an option to character creation or something.



...now I can finally try playing the game
