Modifying Save

[ciderrss]

Im on a Mac (don't crucify me) and I'm trying to edit a save on my game so I can try out all of the specials and things like that but I can't find a way to open Gibbed Borderlands 2 Save Editor, I'm using different file extractors but none of them open to the screen you are supposed to see, please help. I've also tried BorderTool2 and can't find the files I need to use it.

You're not the only person who likes Macs or who plays games on them. Don't take any crap from the Mac haters.

Gibbed is Windows only.

What you want is Bordertool2: [see below]

Bordertool2 is actually better than Gibbed, because it includes a Profile editor too.

Obligatory comment #1: Always back up your save folder BEFORE attempting any file edits.

Obligatory comment #2: It's better to play the game for yourself. That isn't to say that having a Save Editor can't sometimes be useful, but don't rush to max level. This is an ARPG, not an MMO. The fun starts at level one, there is some end game content, but it's only a small percentage of the game and you'll miss a lot if you try to rush there.

Sharing links to cheating programs in the forums? That's a no-no.

Just for you, I'll change it. However ...

So's back seat moderating (which is what you just did).

And Steam's position on Save Editors isn't actually the same a their policy on actual hacking/cheating programs.

And ... Borderlands 2 isn't VAC enabled.

Recheck backseat moderating.

Press-and-hold Option. Mouse up to the Go menu. With Option depressed, you should see Library on the list, select it.

You want: HD->Users->[your user name]->Library->Application Support->Borderlands 2->WillowGame->SaveData->[folder with a really, really long number]

That folder with the long number is your save folder.

Back it up BEFORE you try anything with the editor.

Did you search for it? Or did you navigate to it manually following the path I listed?

In the modern versions of the Mac OS the Library is hidden so that people (who don't know better) don't mess up stuff they shouldn't be touching. I don't think it was a wise decision on Apple's part, but maybe it paid off in less tech support calls for them.

Regardless, don't try to search, go look manually.

I checked the package contents and all thats in it is a text file called info.plist, a MacOS folder that only has a text file named run.sh and a resources folder that has a shortcut named shortcut.icns
