How to edit the amount of scraps/money you have?

[TracyJackson]

So I'm using the save editor to try and increase my squad's money, but I don't seem to be able to find where the money amount is in the save file. I've tried searching for "scrap" or "money", and neither of them are showing anything when I search through my save file. I'd like to properly equip my guys before they leave the Citadel for the first time.

Increase Weaponsmithing to 10 either directly or through more skill points. Create some characters with 1 rank of each weapon type and/or Medic/Surgeon. Maybe give them some extra points to make up for the otherwise wasted skill points. ??? profit.

yeah....he just wants to save edit the scrap.

what I'm going to do is since I have a certain amount of scrap on my save file, I'm going to search that number and see what comes up.

Yeah I don't readily see it. I got plenty of scrap legit in the game though.

The party's currency amount is a world state variable, and all those are saved in the BIN file.

Stand beside a vendor, save, and edit the quantity of something to insane amounts and sell them all. If selling at the citadel, an easy one is scrap weapon parts - worth 15 scrap each when sold to Tobias Melson.

As red255 stated though, there is plenty of scrap without cheating - loot everything, sell often. Can also invest in perks which increase the amount of scrap found, or increase sale prices.

Are you the Executor on the Wasteland 2 modding forum?

[Executor]

Yes, that would be moi.

Could I, perhaps, commission you to make a hardcore mod for me? I'd make it worth your while.

Depending on what it entails, sure. My email is [e-mail]

Gotta go to class, but I'll email you later with details.

Per whatever you can edit the player gun stats pretty easily if you know the names of them just make a file and put it in the folder. Probably could do the same thing for enemies if you wanted to rebalance everything.

the one I saw was done horribly for balance though.

i mean, you could always try to use cheat engine, as soon as you sell something, put the new value in till theres only 1 or 2 results. thats what i do for other single player games and it works most of the time.
else, copy the party inventory when your at the starting area and sell the stuff, then buy bigger things.

Check your email, Executor.

Money is in .bin file. I compared two savefiles which had different money amount. I found the bytes and changed them to FF FF.

you can also get a save modifyer, and just copy a bunch of weapons and sell them.

I hope that 65,535 is not the maximum, because that is far too close for comfort when I've had over 20K at least twice, before going to Rail Nomads Camp to spend everything but 10K on 7.62 mm ammo and Sabot Rockets. So apparently I made over 30,000 during the Arizona part of the game. What if I had dawdled even longer, and made even more money, but not spent it on a semi-regular basis? Would I have bumped into the limit, and maybe rolled over? Surely not?

Maybe try FF FF FF FF? 4,294,967,295 seems like a much safer limit. 4.3 billion is chump change is this day and age, isn't it? And it looks like there are plenty of 00 00 to the left in that bin file, so they probably weren't changed into anything else due to the amount of money being small enough, right? (I don't know exactly how that program, or the game, works.)
