Is there a Savegame Editor for Items?
Or can you edit somehow the drop rate from weapons and armors?

Surely there is. I think common hexeditor will suffice if you are patient enough.

I never tried it, but there seems to be a tool called "Mad God's Editor". It seems to be quite powerful, all mods for this game (Flamestryke, DeathStalker, Reforged, just to name a few) are built on this tool. Look for more info in gog and postcount.net forums, if you are interested.

yah, I used it to make everything that stacks stack up to 250 items. Much easier to manage potions and ammo now. Also, can use it to fix the double-strike dagger combine.

I cannot find the editor. Does anyone know of a working link?

Yes. Use Cosmic Forge

I don't think the editor works for adding items into your party inventory as I hear many times that mad dog doesn't believe in cheating. I have also been trying to add items into my party using the cosmic forge but cannot becuase I don't think such a feature exist in CF. maybe someone prove me wrong?

OP did you find some way to add items? I have tried most of the the common methods (on top of CF) and nothing is working for me. First I tried the savegame editor from BOTH tk421 and from samurai jack from zimlabs (they seem like the same editor), however, they both wanted the TABCTL32.OCX file, which I downloaded and put it in BOTH the system32 registry and the folder of the editor itself. Still did not work.

Then I tried reading the data using a hex editor but the saved games does not have any string texts, which means, I heard from others, that I have to do a comparison between 2 files and track the changes ??? This is way beyond my ability

Anyone have any pointers like where to put the OCX file, another inventory editor that doesn't need the OCX file, or jsut simply any other editor that works on their computer? Thanks!

Hex editor should suffice but you must prepare equipment slots by placing specific and easy to find items. Split stones/arrows and fill 7 slots with 2/3/4/5/6/7/0/9 pieces. Put something else in the slot preceding the last one (marked with 0). Save the game and edit the file. The string of above values should be easy to find although they will surely be separated by item code. Your task is to locate the position of the above code to change it.

You can add items with Cheat Engine or ArtMoney or similar tool.
Item type is 0xC bytes long:

0x0 (4 bytes, signed) - item ID (can be taken from Cosmic Forge)
0x4 (1 bytes, unsigned) - amount in the stack (0 for unstackable items)
0x5 (1 byte, unsigned) - amount of charges (0 for items withot charges)
0x6 (1 byte, Boolean) - "Identified" flag

Rest are unimportant (there's something like "stolen", "has a legit owner" and such flags), you can savely fill it with
0x7 - 1
0x8 - 1
0x9 - 0
0xA - 0
0xB - 1

Characters are stored at ["Wiz8.exe"+285174]+ PC_index * 1862 where PC_index is a number from 0 to 7 (0 is the first RPC, 1 is the second RPC, 2 is the first PC and so on). Personal inventory starts at Character + 1029

Party inventory starts at 685191 (static).

I did it!!!!! Thank you so very much Kay. I was excited to succeed, not becuase i cheated but I actually hacked a game in real time! It felt so satisfying.

Anyways, I was only able to replace an existing item to an item I wanted (i.e. turn a dagger into the avenger), but I still cannot add to the party inventory even when I turned the FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 right after the last item into what I wanted. Any pointers?

If not, no worries I'll just buy more daggers. =)

AWESOME!

There's the array limit stored at 00686901, it tracks how many inventory slots are used. You have to increment it by 1 for the every added item stack.

Cosmic Forge is really easy to use. One tedious way to get the items you want would be to use Cosmic Forge to make a new item creation formula for the item you want. Say you want an extra Zatoichi Bo, you could make a formula like Scroll of Bless + Bread Roll = Zatoichi Bo (requiring Artifacts 1). Save the changes in Cosmic Forge, load your game, merge the scroll and the bread roll to create a Zatoichi, save again, and go back into Cosmic Forge and remove the formula or change it to a different item you want.

Nice, did not think of that one, will try it. I also tried adding item to a location on the location editor but that ended with disaster (some of the things I did were reverted like the bank elevator to the private security vault closed so i had to add one of the key cards again and the monsters in Arnika stopped spawning.)

I know this post is from June of last year, but I also had this error with the TABCTL32.OCX file. If you have Windows 64 bit, then the "system32" folder isn't the one you need to use. It's the "SysWOW64" folder. You might also need regedit to register the file, though I didn't need to do that.
