Can I change my hova model?

[TaliaKuznetsova]

I got a new hova and is there any way i can change my model after i make a decision? As well as get my old model back as tbh it was kinda nice. I dont want a how to guide just want to know if i can so i find the secret way myself.

You can edit the slot0.sav file with a hex editor to change the model. i'm in no way responsible for your file if you mess it up.

Within the game, no. You chose one as you did later on and you have it until the end.

Can i get my original model back with this method or no? It kinda had a nice aesthetic to it.

Yes you can get the original model back. There is also another technique with a tool. Google it ;-)

You can hex edit your save and adjust a certain line in the code to select a different HOVA. It’s as simple as changing the specific value between 1 and 7, depending on the model you want.

I made an artwork post that pictures the HOVA model designs along with its designated number should you wish to see before making any changes yourself.

Remember to back up your save!

Thank you very much this is a big help as I won't be editing blindly now.

I'm a little confused, it's been a while since i've done hex editing, how do i know what to edit? what atribute does what? I'm finding HovaModel but then it's just a load of dots in the decoded text. what am I missing?

• Firstly make a copy of your save file, then open it up in a hex editor (I use HxD for example).
  
• Scroll down and find the Offset value of 00003A70 (it may seem overwhelming, but it's an easy find as all the offsets follow a number/value structure)
  
• On this Offset will be a string of letters and numbers. Mine looks like this '00 00 00 00 00 01 CD CC CC 3E 01 00 01 00 00 00'
  
• Change the 01 towards the end (before the set of three 00's) to a number value corresponding to the HOVA you want ie. '00 00 00 00 00 01 CD CC CC 3E 01 00 09 00 00 00' for the Taxi Hova
  
• Refer to my image guide above for a detailed list of which number corresoponds to what HOVA

In the base game I had chosen #2. Thought it looked kinda cool but I ended up hitting every building, vehicle, roadpost in Nivalis.

Can you please tell me which HEX offset I need to change?
The offset you mentioned does not correspond. I am using HxD.

Here is what I have in my HEX 00003A70 offset: 4B 4F 20 33 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 14 F6 78

When searching for the decoded text, I did find a "Hova model", but again it does not correspond.

00003790 00 00 09 48 6F 76 61 4D 6F 64 65 6C 03 00 00 00 ...HovaModel....

If we look at the last 4 set of characters, it can be seen that I am using 03, however my model is 08 from the HOVA list.

Btw, I am pretty far in the story from the point I chose my HOVA. So, I believe the offset changes as you progress, but I am not sure why the number with HOVA model does not correspond. If looking at the decoded text, it does say "...HovaModel...."

The next line 00003A80 should start with 3E 00 00, the two numbers after that are the hova model value. If you want hova model 2, then the first four lines of 00003A80 should look like 3E 00 00 02

Is there a difference in stats or are they the same? I chose #5 by the way and I'm happy with it. The others look like cars, but that one looks like a small spaceship.
