save file imports

[EaterOfThiccPP]

so i used to play this game a lot on Xbox 360 when that was still a thing and i had gotten extremely far. level 200 character and pawn and almost all my gear was goldforged. i just started playing on steam but i really don't want to drag myself through the story just to get to be able to kill gazer. if anyone has a save file they could email to me and how to open it that would be greatly appreciated :))
(this is still a thing right?)

1. What's the point of playing if you have all the gear and levels? Start anew, it will be fun :)

2. You can always use one of the speed leveling exploits. But if you want to use someone else's save you will have to assign the sav file to your profile - generally by editing the file to change the user ID number inside.

If that's the case then know that getting to Gazer will take you 30 minutes, 1 hour tops. Play the game till lvl. 20 to get the feel of combat back, then ask ppl to gift you some better weapons and off you go.

All you need to do is change the file DDDA.sav which should be in this folder:

Steam\userdata\***\367500\remote

Where *** is your account number.

As for the save file, I could give you one for level 200 (either strength or magic built), no problem

Well, why don't you give it a try then.
If the files aren't encrypted then you should be able to play on borrowed save just like that and this tool is pointless

If I'm right you'll get save corruption message ;)

What are you talking about? I changed the save file multiple times between my 2 accounts (and 2 different laptops), and encountered no problems. I anything, the mod is more risky that simply overwriting the file.

I think in ,sav file there is some user identification code included
So convert .sav into text file with some suitable tool then edit ID to your ID then recompile .sav may work or may not work ( i'm not sure )
But i recommend to start brand new start. it is worth it

All you need is unpack a downloaded/shared save file using DDSaveTool.
Open the text file obtained with notepad++, search for the line with the text: <u64 name="mSteamID" value=""/> (just search for mSteamID)
Enter your steam ID instead of the number written here (you can check it by searching into your original game save, on the same line).
Use DDSaveTool to repack the save then drop it into your save folder.

You can find plenty of save file on nexus, either with maxed level character or a level 1 character but with 100 of all existing item in bank, etc...

Another trick in notepad++, if you dont like the look of the character on that save, search the line containing the word "surgery". It should be followed with the number 0. Replace that 0 by 1, for 1 free character relooking (same as using one "Art of metamorphosis), or -1 for infinite access to the relooking (same as using one "Secret of metamorphosis").

You can also use that method with notepad++ and DDsaveTool to port the look of characters between save.
