You Have to Save Edit the Game (WIP)

Useful offset values and general tricks for hacking your save.

Save Editing in General + READ THIS

READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE!

This guide will NOT work on Yolo games, as they do not create saves (If I'm wrong please correct me). If you corrupt your save YHtWtG will probably fail to load. I am not responsible to any damaged saves. Always back up your save before editing. I recommend using a hex editor (I use HxD).

In general, save editing is the act of modifying the saves in your game to change your progress, e.g. changing the number of an item, or adding a new item. For YHtWtG, it is quite simple and does not change the size of the save.

Actually Editing Your Save

Now you have read my "readme" section, we can begin. Locate your save in "[drive name]:\[your folder]\My Games\You Have to Win the Game\Saves". It will likely be named Autosave.vsg. Open it in your hex editor. You can now start editing.You should see an image like that. Some things you may notice are the use of 0x18 to 0x2A as the mission in progress. 0x30 is used to count your deaths (Editing this will help with cat mode, I promise)
According to "Dave" (http://steamcommunity.com/id/djtaylor), 0x2C to 0x2F are the game time, this may help with the "Places to go, people to see" achievement
Other values I do not currently know, but if I figure them out, or somebody tells me, I will add them to this guide (eventually). For now, happy experimenting! (And seriously, remember to backup your save every time you edit)

The dword (4 bytes) at 0x2C is the game time.
