Saving Character Appearance

[Austherus]

Is there any file I can copy/paste to save a character's appearance?

After several hours of fine tuning to find the perfect character/pawn combination, I would like to use it again on a new character without having to recreate from scratch.

Well you could unpack the save file and copypaste your parameters from there to the new save.
But you're better off simply writing down these few parameters (buy Art of Metamorphosis to see them or start Hard Mode), entering in the new char creator and you're set to go. It's really not that big of a deal IMO

several apps, most are on the nexus.

Use DDsavetool to convert your save file into a text file. open it in notepad++.

Character appearance datas start with a line looking like this:
<u8 name="mGender" value="x"/>

And end up at a line looking like this:
<u8 name="mBeardNo" value="y"/>

x and y figure numerical values

Just copy everything between those two lines and save it in a text file or paste it over the data you wanna replace.
Just use Ctrl+F in notepad ++ and type mGender and launch a search from the top to the bottom, The first find will be the datas of your arisen. If you search again from there, the second find will be your main pawn, then the first hired pawn and lastly the second hired pawn.

Thanks, I'll try that next time.

It's a lot faster than the silly "use the DDDA savetool to convert my save to .xml to copy&paste data to my new .xml and save it".

You're really bad at this.

This works, but I'd recommend not using mGender. Instead, search for the mNickname string which has your player value uniquely set. Mine was 608. It showed up 3 times in the save file. You have to change everything as said in the quoted comment for each of the 3 locations for this to work.
