Valkyrie Edit Issues

[NightReaver43321]

Hey there, so I've attempted to make some changes with VE, and while I got it to export an MXE file, when I try to use the -t or -s arg afterwards the program simply closes and nothing happens.


I copied the MXE and VE to a separate folder to work on. To extract, I simply typed in the file name, in this case game_info_field.mxe. The CSVs extract and I did my bit of editing. Then I opened VE again and typed game_info_field.mxe -t. Program closed and did nothing. Did the same thing with -s, program closed and did nothing.

These 2 topics should cover your most likely issue and one possible less likely issue.

Thanks for the quick reply! As for the first link....idk, something about code vein DLC? I'm just trying to modify the A rank turn limits. I saw the 2nd link already, but everything is in the proper columns in spreadsheet form, though I did the editing in notepad++. I don't even get an error like that guy, it literally just closes the program after hitting enter. Would a screenshot of something help?

Oh about code vein probably wrong thing stuck in the buffer, apologies. Copying from steam's browser address line sometimes fails :)

But yea the 2nd thread had everything.

Yes a screenshot or something would help. Along with what your unpacked data looks like.

Here ya go. Extracted files, and edited file in both spreadsheet and text editor form:

Okay then, silly question time. How exactly (step by step) are you invoking VE?

[NightReaver43321]

I've tried 2 ways. Directly running the exe, typing in game_info_field.mxe, editing, running the exe again, then typing game_info_field.mxe -s.

The other way was with cmd prompt. Navigate to the valkyrieedit.exe, run the exe, then game_info_field.mxe. That extracts it. Then I edit the CSV and run the exe again with cmd prompt. Upon entering game_info_field.mxe -s, I get an error that the file "game_info_field.mxe -s" does not exist. I don't use cmd prompt very much, so I'm probably messing something up.

Should I be using a .bat?

Through cmd is the only right way, but you got it wrong on command options.

There are 2 ways to use it. First is to specify a full path to the file you want. That is, something like D:\mxe_files\game_info_field.mxe, assuming D:\mxe_files is where you copied the file (don't work on the game folder, it will spam a .bak for every sync you do).

But, ValkEdit remembers the last file you used in cache (see target.txt next to the executable), so if you're working on the same file you can just omit the file path, or edit it directly in the txt and then run it like so:
ValkyrieEdit.exe -S
ValkyrieEdit.exe -T
ValkyrieEdit.exe -R

It will operate on the file from target.txt without typing it in every time.

Last but not least, if you feel lost, you can invoke
ValkyrieEdit.exe --help
for the builtin tutorial.

Ah ha! I'll give that a shot in a few hours after work. Thanks!
