Changes do not stick! (read this then)

About a week after I posted the guide (which has very much been a work in progress thanks to questions and suggestions in the comments field) I got a couple complaints that the edits done to files didnt stick.

Its important to alter your methods for saving the changes according to the programs you use.
Im using winrar and its "smart" enough to ask me if I want to update a file inside an open archive (zks) when I have edited a file and saved the file.
From what I gather when you open a *.json file inside a zks archive in 7zip, you must select edit not open or changes will be ignored.
My initial method was to extract the json file I wanted to edit and do it outside the archive then return the file to the archive and update, but I altered this procedure when I noticed winrar being very userfriendly in my activities.

So if you have trouble getting changes to stick, verify that your program is being cooperative and if not, do edits on an extracted file and pack it back into the zks file when done.


MAC:
Additional info for mac users on filenames:

On your Mac, select a file, then choose File > Get Info, or press Command-I.
Click the triangle next to Name & Extension to expand the section.
To show or hide the filename extension, select or deselect “Hide extension.”

Then ensure you have renamed savefile back to a zks extension.

Where to find things:

Your LOCAL savegame is found in the c:\users\*\appdata\locallow\owlcat games\pathfinder kingmaker\saved games\
substitute * for your windowsaccountname
To get to the saves "quickly": open a random folder, type
%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\owlcat games\pathfinder kingmaker\saved games\
in the addressbar.

Path shown below:




If you have steam cloud saves enabled, you also have duplicates in the following location:
c:\program files(x86)\steam\userdata\your steam id\640820\remote\
I suggest disabling cloudsaves, they sit in your very local programfiles folder anyways and more likely than not cause issues when you alter one of the duplicate files.
(this paragraph added july 2019)

The files in savegamefolder will be either autosave files or manual saves.
Filetype is .zks and since we will be editing those files, associate it with your favorite zip program (winrar, winzip, 7zip or similar) by opening it and selecting open with this program always.

Content of the zks files:
useless files (header.json/png)
zonefiles (32 letters named files of type .json/png) - used for item manipulation
player.json - contain kingdom stats, gold
party.json - contain character info: stats, items, alignment
history - used to grab zonename and item codes


Going forward I assume you will use notepad to edit the files inside the savegame(archive).

Player.json

Player.json
Buildpoints, current: search for "BP", line looks like:
"BP":6178,"BPPerTurn":0,"Alignment":"LawfulNeutral"
simply change value right after "BP":

Kingdom stats:
search for"stats" (one occurence), and adjust the lines looking like this:
{"$id":"2057","Type":"Community","Rank":1,"Value":40},
Rank is the bonus to event rolls (2 pts for each rank), value is the stat itself.

Gold:
Search for "Money" or hit CTRL+END, its on the last line in the file. Cant really miss it.

unrest states:
Status ok:
"UnrestOnLastRavenVisit":"Stable"
"Unrest":"Stable"

Status riot:
"UnrestOnLastRavenVisit":"Unrest"
"Unrest":"Unrest"

Gametime:
"GameTime":* (30 less than currentday)
"CurrentDay":*
Edit as needed to get more time for loitering.

Settings that influence some events' execute time:
"REModifierUnclaimed": 0.0,
"REModifierClaimed": -0.5,
"REModifierUpgraded": -1.0,
"ClaimCostModifier": -0.25,
"ClaimTimeModifier": -0.5,
"RankupTimeModifier": -0.5,
"BuildingTimeModifier": 0.0,

Setting "ClaimTimeModifier": -0.95,
"RankupTimeModifier": -0.95,
"BuildingTimeModifier": -0.95,

Would cut time to execute claim region, rankup advisor and complete buildings to 1 day.

This guide is about cheating(and debugging the game where it is bugged) so:
To save time on significant monsters, set flag for cleared lairs to 44 then kill a significant monster
LairsCleared (bee350a000e7ade4da900d475022ba4b): set to 44"

achievement:
Killing lich gives flag LichKulich_Defeated (f3df1f1dd009dd6479ae3b2daacc85e0): set to 1" and achievement Yet another ancient evil

Item duplication/changing: Statistic.json/Zonename.json

Update to this section:
Statistics.json has been split in two files, history (no extension) and statistics.json.
History contain info needed to find itemcodes and mapcodes for duping.

History
This file is a historylog of the entire game.
I suppose it can become fairly large, my current file is 9 mb so far.
We can use it to find the name of the last map we entered, and item codes on items we dropped.
This is done by going to the bottom of the file (CTRL+END), then CTRL+F and search for loading area, direction up(obviously)
sample line to be found:
"06:08:16 21.07.4710 - [Area] CapitalThroneRoom (173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0): loading area",
Info we get:
173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0.json is the area file where items you drop will be saved.

Nice info to be sure. open that file inside the savegame, move it to the side for now.
To get itemcode of the items you dropped and want to duplicate or spawn new items upon:
search for one item you dropped. If you dropped a longsword, search for that, again from the bottom of the file to find latest instance of the item which is what you dropped in this map.
lets search for the bag of holding we dropped:
search for bag, holding or bagofholding
"10:11:39 18.06.4710 - [Items] BagOfHolding (9ba294466c6090e4dac1c7dfbc158a03): item lost",
"10:11:39 18.06.4710 - [Items] DevourerOfMetal (1d3e5519d0840ed4d96378d6a07cc9d1): item lost",
Lost means you dropped it on the ground.
9ba294466c6090e4dac1c7dfbc158a03 is the itemcode.
switch to the mapfile you opened and search for this.
You should get a return like this:


That is a lot of data but thankfully we can ignore most of it.
The following is what we edit:
"m_Blueprint":"9ba294466c6090e4dac1c7dfbc158a03","m_Count":1,"m_InventorySlotIndex":0,
Short explanation on this line:
m_Blueprint is the itemcode. m_Count is usually 1 unless you have a stack of potions in inventory.
m_InventorySlotIndex is the number the item has in a lootstack, item number 2 has ..index":1, 2 and so on.

This being the bag holding that we want more of, we dont alter it but set "m_Count":20 and have 20 bags of holding to loot as a stack.
As we duplicated an existing item and didnt change it in any way, we receive 20 working bags of holding.

With the next item I dropped, a Devourer of metal (+1 comp longbow with corrosive damage, very useful bow btw) I want to make a longsword with corrosive damage
searching for 1d3e5519d0840ed4d96378d6a07cc9d1 I get:
m_Blueprint":"1d3e5519d0840ed4d96378d6a07cc9d1","m_Count":1,"m_InventorySlotIndex":1,
First off, to spawn new items: you increase the count, and the first looted item will be a dud with original statistics and it is the first looted item which you can discard.
itemcode for longsword +2, acidic: 9476b938dc89a984f90810eb084632b2

new sentence when we're done editing:

"m_Blueprint":"9476b938dc89a984f90810eb084632b2","m_Count":20,"m_InventorySlotIndex":0,
Which gets us 19 good acid longsword and 1 messed up item.

Looting the items:


As the screenshot will show, the first item is actually superior having higher acid damage and downgrading to +1 instead of +2 due to being changed from a bow.





This is the essence of item manipulation. Duplicate or change.
There is some rules though.
All items have an itemclass, and you cant change an item from one class to another.
Classes:
Weapons
Armor
Simple items
Charged items

Basically, if you want a ring or other accessory like boots, cloak, bracer: use same type.
use armor to armor, weapon to weapon, potion to potion/scroll/wand (charged).


One last thing.

Items can be found 2 places: in the party.json file and in zonefile.json

Due to the manner manipulated items work, I have not edited items directly in inventory.
Reason being that changing item id does not confer item enhancements and it is much quicker to simply spawn a stack of items and discard the first item that will be get the item description, but no enhancement. It can easily be used to spawn even more items, its ruined anyways.

Useful zonenames:
Olegs tradingpost (outside)
ead426a6c23d39548a670ee515d77df4.json

Throneroom:
173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0.json

Character editing: Party.json

In the party.json file we find our inventory and character stats.
Stat order, downward:
Hitpoints "Type":"HitPoints"
BAB "Type":"BaseAttackBonus"
Charisma "Type":"Charisma"
Constitution "Type":"Constitution"
Dexterity "Type":"Dexterity"
Intelligence "Type":"Intelligence"
Wisdom "Type":"Wisdom"
Strength "Type":"Strength"
Characterlevel "Characterlevel":
Experience "Experience":
Alignment "Vector":
CustomName "nameofhero/merc"
CustomAsks voice

Sample format for hitpoints:
"Type":"HitPoints","m_BaseValue":687,"m_Dependents":null,"m_DependentFacts":null,"PermanentValue":687,"PersistentModifierList":[{"$ref":"8165"}]},"TemporaryHitPoints":

Basevalue and PermanentValue should match. this is the rolled hitpoints, sans constitution bonus.


Most stats come with only m_BaseValue and can easily be adjusted.
Racial modifiers add or subtract from basevalue and the m_PermanentValue will be higher or lower, accordingly. Failing to adjust both base and perm value can result in no gain in stats, so hit both where they appear.
The attributes cha-str simply set the attributes to the desired level.


How characterlevel and experience works:
Characterlevel is the levels the game believes the character has trained.
Experience points on the other hand is the numerical value representing the allowed training the character can do. And this we can exploit by setting characterlevel to a lower value, and increasing the experience to permit more levels than the game intends to permit.

Setting characterlevel to 1 and experience to 4000000 will let you level 20 levels.
When you hit level 20 in a class, there can be no more training in that class.
If you still havent trained all the characterlevels, you can level up another class until characterlevel equals the experience.
And after that happens, you can reduce the characterlevel to 1 and repeat the exploit.
When lowering characterlevel, I notice that current characterlevel determine max skill rank on regular skills like mobility, perception and such. There is also some anomalies with how many points you get to spend when training up a second time toward 20, but this should probably not be a concern. Like stats, skills can be edited by setting the permanentvalue to a higher number.
I have come to the conclusion that most things on the characters can be modified, however getting new feats beyond what is granted through levelling is something I have not looked into.
From what I can see, each level up has a log entry with what feat you pick and the game automatically recognize the total level in every class but does not sum them up and throw an error when the levels exceed 20.


To edit your characters:
Save game twice and edit party.json (twice in case you make a mistake and the save is unreadable)

Find your characters:
For the mainchar or mercs, search for the name. Their hitpoints - exp values will be above the name.
For standard companion the game does not have names, but blueprintcode.
Search for "CustomPrefabGuid" - line that will come up:
"CustomPrefabGuid":"","m_Pet":{"m_UniqueId":null},"Blueprint":"5455cd3cd375d7a459ca47ea9ff2de78"
Code in "Blueprint" is the companioncode.

Ah, one final note.
There is 2 experience sums that will correspond to your main characters xp/level:
One is your actual character's XP.
The other is the XP any customcreated mercs get, which also determine hire cost.

Itemcodes, primer.

The itemcodes in the following lists are lifted from the resources.assets file in kingmaker installfolder, a 1.4 gb monster file.
To view the file without crashing my computer I used a hex editor since any normal program that tries to load an entire 1.4 gb file will hang or at least spend half an eternity loading it.

The format the items are listed in the file is internalname, lots of punctuations and then a 32 digit hexvalue in plaintext. That value is frequently followed by more letters starting with $, but the rest is fluff. The item spawning process described earlier in the guide creates one broken item and the rest works, so while I saw the potential for completely creating a new item without bug, it was clear that it took more time to do so than I have patience for. Afterall, cheating is done to make things easier, not to create hard work :)

Sample items:
BastardSwordCorrosivePlus2.................. ...c485d74a439a0b249b14741d621fe322$...794d3833-b283-4a43-8b03-7b69563a39c1........
As mentioned: the first 32 digits are the itemcode. the rest are attached property code, which will appear on the spawned items.
This is what we care about then:
BastardSwordCorrosivePlus2.................. ...c485d74a439a0b249b14741d621fe322

Site with all/most itemcodes, submitted in the comments by omsion°µ:

https://wiki.fireundubh.com/kingmaker
And at the time of this edit, that link no longer works. Keeping it here in case it reappear later.

Another item ID source for the game here:

Xurker submitted a blueprintlibrary that can be found at https://github.com/spacehamster/KingmakerDataminer/releases/tag/blueprints
As far as I can see this list items with the guid as filename, making it easy to spawn said items.
It also gives blueprints that can be used to try tracking down hung quests.
At rootlevel the file has a simple blueprint.txt file with the following setup:

Fixing alignment changes

While checking the forums for somewhere to dump my cheat tricks, before I figured out I cheat so much that a guide is the proper form, I noticed some complaints about alignment and question on how to fix it back to the original.
Paladins, lawfull/nonlawful classes can get in trouble if they stray.
So since I was making a cheating guide, I took a look at how alignment works and to see if I could fix it.
Turns out I could.
The information is stored in the party.json file.
To find the alignment info, the main characters is at the very end of the file.
My character in this playthrough is Lawful Neutral.
Searching up for LawfulNeutral (no spaces, and neutral is TrueNeutral not Neutral) i find this line:

{"$id":"12520","Position":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08},"Direction":"LawfulNeutral","Provider":"0554e6a5e0685c14b8ef54d3748e287f"}],"Vector":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08}},"Master":{"m_UniqueId":null},"CustomGender":"Male","LeftHandedOverride":false,"CustomName":"YOURCHARACTERNAMEHERE","

This is the bottom of the alignment change block.
Scrolling up, you will see many entries for aligment changes that got you in trouble.
and many that are unused yet at the top, like this:
{"x":0.0,"y":0.0},"Direction":"TrueNeutral","Provider":null},{"$id":"12471","Position":{"x":0.0,"y":0.0},"Direction":"TrueNeutral","Provider":null},{"$id":"12472","Position":

So, working like a cancer surgeon, we go to the last trueneutral entry above, and mark the entire section starting with

{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08},"Direction":"LawfulNeutral","Provider":null},{"$id":"12473","Position":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08},"Direction":"LawfulNeutral","Provider":"4a908f0283d457c48b87e9bd33ac6a74"},{"$id":"12474","Position":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08},"Direction":"LawfulNeutral","Provider":"a3daf282d4106414fb88e52441406df2"},{"$id":"12520","Position":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08},"Direction":"LawfulNeutral","Provider":"0554e6a5e0685c14b8ef54d3748e287f"}],"Vector"

Do not remove anything after }
],"Vector is required to make the savefile stay intact.
I have omitted lots of entries here, it is probably a long block of text you need to delete.

At the very minimum, you want the block to read this afterwards:
"Direction":"TrueNeutral","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08}},"Master":

Update, and answer to one comment below:
The text around vector/master is the base alignment and should be like this:

"Direction":"LawfulGood","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":-0.707106769,"y":0.707106769}},"Master"
"Direction":"LawfulNeutral","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":-1.0,"y":-8.742278E-08}},"Master"
"Direction":"LawfulEvil","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":-0.7071068,"y":-0.7071067}},"Master"
"Direction":"NeutralGood","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":-4.371139E-08,"y":1.0}},"Master"
"Direction":"TrueNeutral","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":0.0,"y":0.0}},"Master"
"Direction":"NeutralEvil","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":1.19248806E-08,"y":-1.0}},"Master"
"Direction":"ChaoticGood","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":0.707106769,"y":0.707106769}},"Master"
"Direction":"ChaoticNeutral","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":1.0,"y":0.0}},"Master"
"Direction":"ChaoticEvil","Provider":null}],"Vector":{"x":0.70710665,"y":-0.7071069}},"Master"

Tool for finding more itemcodes

For some reason I suspect the lack of a complete list of items in this guide will result in more requests.
While Im happy to help, not every question will be answered fast, and once Im done playing this game I will probably not be looking at this guide. Afterall, its my own tool.

So, how to solve the issue with abandoned guide support and availability of the itemcodes?

Turns out one program I use, agent ransack, will deliver what is needed.

It can be found at https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/download/

What you do to find itemcodes:
fire up the program.
browse down to the gamefolder in the steamlibrary and the kingmaker_data folder
set filename to: resources.assets assets (file has been split up recently into several sharedassets*.assets files)
and containing text to whatever item you want to find.
limit the text you search for as greatswordplus will result in only vanilla greatswords with +1 - +5
searching instead for greatsword will yield a complete list of anything containing that word. And as can be seen by the attached screenshot, the weapons generally come in a row.
To grab the itemcode:
Right after each item there is a 32digit value. Some are longer, but everything above 32 is trash (and it is as far as I have seen separated in the digit sequence by a $)



I took the liberty of highlighting the itemcode part of one such overly long string.

I guess what remains to say is, have fun looking for your favorite stuff in the resource file :)

No, actually: to get the itemcodes in a handy way, rightclick on the results in the right pan, select export results, either to a file or clipboard.
If clipboard, just paste it into a notepad or something and presto, itemcodes easily accessed.

Cheesing problem/opportunity timers

My newest trick:
1 day problemsolving and opportunity knocks.

first, put your advisors on the projects/events you want to do. save the game.
open savefile as always, and open player.json

alt tab back to game, note the name of the probs/opportunities/projects and search for them verbatim in the player.json file. Also: note how many days there is left before your advisore is done ( Ends in xx days on the card when it has been started).

Example: I picked the "Fey magic" problem. It has 14 days left before it ends.

search yields the following:


{"$id":"2546","Event":"70209f93a8faa0249ba2d7dc60298dbc","TriggeredOn":267,"Solver":null,"SolverLeader":"Regent","SolutionCheck":0,"SolvedInDays":0,"Region":"caacbcf9f6d6561459f526e584ded703","IsShow":true,"IsUserClick":false,"SolveResults":[],"SolveResultsFinal":[],"TotalChanges":{"$id":"2547","m_Changes":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"BPPerTurn":0,"BPOneTime":0},"Type":"FinishedEvent","WasIgnored":false},"SourceDeck":"3088e16da275cc648ae10ee50a94f829","DCModifier":0,"IsFinished":false,"ContinueRecurrentSolution":false,"IgnoredOn":0,"CheckTriggerOnStart":false},"AssignedLeader":{"$ref":"2542"},"StartedOn":272,"Name":"Fey Magic","Description":"A fey magician visited a settlement, and made everyday things come to life! The people seem to be more frightened than amused by the minor and generally harmless anomaly.","Region":{"$ref":"2311"},"IsStarted":true},"SpecificBonuses":[]},

I have set several points in bold in the extracted text:
"Event":"70209f93a8faa0249ba2d7dc60298dbc" - eventid which can be changed to something else (have a care doing this)

"TriggeredOn":267 - the day the event appeared in kingdom management

"SolveResults":[] - i suspect this to be the diceroll. a [20] would mean a 20 roll. Not tested but I saw numerical values inside events I havent touched.

"IsFinished":false - setting this to true cleanly ends the event without having it effect the game.
It could also break the game if the event sets a flag, so we should probably not do this unless we happen on a situation where we get spammed with eventcards all doing the same, over and over (ie, you got severely bugged and want to try to get out of it without reverting to older save)

"StartedOn" - the day you gave the task to an advisor. The big one for reducing time to wait for event/advisor being freed for other tasks.

Name":"Fey Magic" - eventcard header. description following this is the extrapolation on the card. This is what we can search for normally.

First off: there is actually 2 $ID's for one event. In first ID we find triggertime (when event popped on the kingdom board)
In the second ID we find what we need, which I marked in bold.
The number in underscore need to be reduced with the number of days left. Just to not make problems I add +1 to that number so the project ends one day after I reload my savefile (problem being that completiontime is passed, which might make the completion not fire when you pass time).
Reducing 272 by (14-1) gets me 259 which I plot in.
Fey magic is done one day later.
"Currentday" in player.json file states what day your game is on for the purpose of projects.
Best practice to make this eventtimer changing easy is to save the game right after assigning tasks to advisors, alt tab out when save is done and immediately edit the save.
Tab back and forth to edit the events, take note of days left and subtract that time (minus one) from "startedon":x

Caution: It should be obvious but when your maincharacter support an advisor you will still be locked to do that action and 14 days passes in short order.

One last note: You can get rid of an eventcard by setting "IsFinished":true, which is placed about one line above the card text (example: "Name":"A High Society Wedding"). Just search up for that setting from "Name"
Note. Some events does not have a description. If you cant find the description, then you have one of these.

Claim/Advisor rankuptime modifier:
In player.json, there is some settings that will adjust time to rankup advisors and claim regions.
setting those to -0.95 would set those to about 1 day and free you up for more action.
"REModifierUnclaimed": 0.0,
"REModifierClaimed": -0.5,
"REModifierUpgraded": -1.0,
"ClaimCostModifier": -0.25,
"ClaimTimeModifier": -0.5,
"RankupTimeModifier": -0.5,
"BuildingTimeModifier": 0.0,
Im not sure what the REmodifiers do but timemodifier should be selfevident.

Crisis points: "ConsumableEventBonus"
Added this from comments section when a user answered their own question on where to find this.

ADD:

Bugged advisorcards

This info is now somewhat outdated, the advisor events after rankups has largely been fixed.
Im leaving it here for posterity ofr new players/playthroughs.

There is a RankUpsCounter in player.json that keeps track of how many kingdomrankups you have. That flag/key is: a1793d1ca81308945a30c98028ceb0de
That value is checked for quests and so on from time to time so its useful to keep it updated if you ever skip rankups. Setting it to a value below a threshold for a quest, say the 100 rankups quest: set it to 99 before running a rankup project to both set the flag to 100 legit and also make the game naturally update quests.

Main reason to skip rankups before was to avoid the 14 days spent paralyzed and also avoid the bugged advisor chats after the events.
To reduce the drag with time:

in player.json, find and set the following values:
"ClaimTimeModifier": -0.95,
"RankupTimeModifier": -0.95,
"BuildingTimeModifier": -0.95,

This change all associated events to one day. When you get the project to halve rankup/claim time, remember to adjust the values if they become bogus.
---------------------------
Old entry:

Im including some blueprintcodes for problematic eventcards for advisors.
They are currently being bugged, but its possible to bypass them by firing the next rank.
The problem is with the rank 6 event, which will not fire.

Looking up items with resources.assets and localization file

We have a fairly comprehensive list of itemcodes listed on https://wiki.fireundubh.com/kingmaker.
However. Not all names are easy giveaways for what the item is called ingame nor what it does.
In instances where you want to find a particular item and its name/id code eludes you by being named something wickedly obvious like LegendItem (yes, looking at you Bloodhound!) yet not really giving up its identity. This is where some deep digging through localization file (that is, the file with text in various languages applied to ingame items) and crossreferencing this in resources.assets come in handy.

English localization text file: enGB.json
Pathfinder Kingmaker\Kingmaker_Data\StreamingAssets\Localization\enGB.json

In loc file you find things pretty much in clear text.

Format is:

enGB.json

 "Key": "00a00c57-dea2-4040-8620-1f1c84a6c3f4",
      "Value": "Bloodhound"
    },
    {
      "Key": "30357432-891c-4b96-9c9c-5f61657585fb",
      "Value": "This +5 speed agile dueling sword has a 18-20 critical range. Each successful hit it lands on an enemy grants its wielder a stacking +2 bonus to all subsequent damage rolls with Bloodhound against this enemy."
    },
    {
      "Key": "cb319704-80d1-49af-a0b6-b6ba4e1e5d2c",
      "Value": "Bloodhound"
    },
    {
      "Key": "2fffd6c6-5ab0-458a-a5d4-de175119e642",
      "Value": "Once this blade has tasted an enemy's blood, it will crave for more."
    },

Key takeaways from this:
each item entry seem to have at least 2 parts, sometimes more. In this case, it appears to be 4 entries.

Key is the string found in resources.assets
value is the name or text for an item or effect

Most useful code to search for in the resorces.assets file would be the itemname, which would hopefully find us the Bloodhound item. We have 2 entries with that name so looking for both in the resources file, we score 2 results:
LegendItemBuff.................. ...0fefc3549186ef94081305fcbf9b41d7....$...00a00c57-dea2-4040-8620-1f1c84a6c3f4
LegendItem.................. ...44a13c66284fac9499eba8b4b5489441$...cb319704-80d1-49af-a0b6-b6ba4e1e5d2c

Right, we're not lookin for a buff, so its the item. Weird name, but spawning 44a13c66284fac9499eba8b4b5489441 yields Bloodhound.

One thing before doing such a involved procedure to find something:
If you want more of an item you already have one item of, dont do this.
Just drop the item on the ground, save, check what the last item dropped is in history, open the zonefile you are in (search up for "loading area" to see its 32digit code) and increase the amount of items in the stack you dropped. No sense in overcomplicating things.

Inconsequent debates

Unintended exchange on paper scissor rock, adding this since I have a space to do so and the outcome was rather hilarious with that dragon kobold (deekin!) in the mix:

Itemswapping for dummies.

Very short guide for itemswap.

1. Savefile is in %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\owlcat games\pathfinder kingmaker\saved games\
refer to section at start, where to find things. Open this folder now.

2. In game: drop items of the type you want on the ground. multiple items are ok. do this in ONE go for reasons.
make sure you only swap itemcodes to a similar item when you get to that point, or itemtemplate will be wrong and item does not work/invisible

3. Save game. Feel free to save twice so you have a backup

4. Open the savefile you created in savegame folder with a zip/rar program, it will be named manual_15_blablabla.ZKS
This file can be opened directly by winrar and edits promt you for accepting changes, so I recommend that app.

5. Open HISTORY in savefile. Notepad can be used as default, or notepad++.
Go to bottom of file. search upwards for: item lost"
The items dropped will be listed in sequence if you drop them at the same time in step 2.
Between itemname and item lost is a 32digit code in parantheisi. that is the itemcode you need.

6. Still in HISTORY: search from bottom upwards for: loading area
results will give a line like this:
"06:08:16 21.07.4710 - [Area] CapitalThroneRoom (173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0): loading area",
173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0 is the zonename, its full name in savefile will be
173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0.JSON

7. Open 173c1547502bb7243ad94ef8eec980d0.JSON in savefile
Search for itemcodes found in step 5. Result will be like this:
m_Blueprint":"1d3e5519d0840ed4d96378d6a07cc9d1","m_Count":1,"m_InventorySlotIndex":1
You want to change 1d3e5519d0840ed4d96378d6a07cc9d1 to a new and better item, and you need to change
m_Count":1 to more items. Change value to how many items you want of it, and add +1.

8. Get itemcodes either from the item lists in the rest of the guide, or from https://wiki.fireundubh.com/kingmaker

Fixed Blood Calling quest state

In player.json: This is the completed quest without timefail. Timefail is saved in id $874 with a m_State I believe. Be sure to alter the IDs in the code to correspond with your own IDs before copying it into your player.json file.

Deleted old paste

I may have extracted extra code from other quests, so replacing it with a hopefully better "cut" that doesnt alter other quests.
Important: you cant copy it in as it is, it must of course replace the the same entries in the savefile. Also change IDs to match your own. From what I can see in the savefile, using json format, there is 5 IDs in the quest not 7 as I earlier posted.

Advisors and their skills

Advisor section in player.json can look like this, when the advisors are assigned their mission appears in the "AssignedTask" entry and sort of break up the stats.
NPC leaders list appear after the spymaster entry.

Oh, before you go off tangent with "hey, why not make this companion/npc general or councillor.."
Tried that. Placing nonintended npcs into roles really mess up the kingdom management, they get listed as busy and its obvious something is missing ("can_be_advisortype_x" setting, I assume)

So lets look into the HighPriest.

c8d4913edee594749b706de35924617e is Jhod Kavken.
"SpecificBonuses":[{"Key":"c8d4913edee594749b706de35924617e","Value":20}] gives him skill +20 to rolls. The other is Harrim, who has no bonus beyond his stats.

Learning from this, all we need to add bonuses to advisors is to set them up with a

Adding this info due to some troubleshooting by Starless:

leadersection starts with:
"Leaders":[{"$id":"3673","Type":"Regent"
and ends with:

the "Leaders":[{ must terminate with an additional }] after spymaster entry. The other previous 9 advisor roles do not have this termination.

List miss some advisors, chiefly because I currently dont have them. This means advisors like Kassil, Tsanna etc arent on my list. This shouldnt really be a problem. The npc you want to buff would be your appointed advisor right. So just going to the advisor position (search player.json for Leaderselection, there is only the 10 entries, one for each appointed advisor) and either modify the advisors specific bonus or create the entry for it.

Companion availability

If you for some reason miss some dialogue options and as a result dont get a companion, all the story companions including Tartuccio is listed in a section at the very end of player.json.

Every character has an unique ID for each playthrough, but it shouldnt be too hard to figure out which companion is the one you are missing.

To make a character available for use, move it from ExCompanion to the "RemoteCompanion" section. Id recommend not taking in Tartuccio unless you are ok with possibly messing up the game or you couldnt care less about estetichs.


The following is an example from my save where Tartuccio is ExCompanion.
"PartyCharacters" is your standard party picks
"DetachedPartyCharacters" - Not quite sure on this setting, it is possibly used in the endgame
"RemoteCompanions" is the slackers resting in the capital

Wrath of the Righteous

Wrath character class and level editing.

If you expected a redo of my previous guide with info on how to search party.json for values to hack, sorry.
Until now I have done my level and class cheats by hand but as far as I can tell the toybox mod on nexus does what I do, on the fly, and only require reload after you setup for a level change by reducing character level.

The downside of relying on a mod that works in memory of the game and not on a static savefile is that when wrath updates it problably breaks toybox or at least alterations are unreliable (which could very well be worse). Its abviously possible to edit the game without toybox but it takes so much more time than the mod does that I wont write that guide. Instead, here is a quick primer on how to operate in wrath like kingmaker, using toy box.

Toybox menu for char edits:
party -> party (heh)
click on a characters arrow for classes and you see the following:

character level
experience
---------------------
mythic level
regular class 1
mythic hero
regular class 2
regular class 3
mythic path class


What you do is reduce your characterlevel and you will force a levelup on reload as charlevel is matched with exp and a discrepansy enables level gain.
I am unsure if the game let you have a higher casterlevel than characterlevel but having multiple class picks in excess of 20 will let you have the stats from those levelups. like BAB, saves, statgains but not skills (seems locked to the level you first assigned those points, cant redo on levelups later. but you can directly add skillpoints in the menu stats to the right of classes so no worry)

Thats it for toybox and charlevels.

Toybox also lets you add feats directly to a character, which ease the process if you want to have the same feats on multiple companions.
After picking the feat from the menu search'n pick you can click on the active companions, add the feat to them and done. Feats are stored under the feature header btw.

[Haruka]

hey so was wondering if you could help I have a duplicated animal companion that I can't get rid of where in the save editing would I go to jsut rip it out like whats the first line that appears for a character and the last one?

[dkerensky]

Thats a new one.
googled the stuff (future you: google this yourself) and found those linkshttps://oxidemod.org/threads/couldnt-write-save-file-we-got-an-exception-system-io-ioexception.24147/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_Kingmaker/comments/une5el/cant_load_anything/

Check if you have space on the disk and google more if that doesnt solve your problem.
Might be our backups on systemdisk that has bloated up. Or something else.
Best of luck!

OK, soooo... I have a problem.
I did change the unrest status of my kingdom (changing it from "Unrest" to "Stable") and my money.
It did work. But then, after advancing a bit, quitting the game, and then loading the game... The loads didn't work anymore. All the loads of my character (even those previous to the change) and the loads of my other characters... I tried to uninstall/reinstall the game, and to do the Steam check of files, and neither of these worked.
The error message is :
"
Error : Win32 IO returned 112. Path : C:/Users/(blablabla)/Saved Games/DotNetZip-lkl09bx8.tmp at System.IO.FileStream.WriteInternal(System.Byte[] src, System.Int32 offset, System.Int32 count) [0x00077] in <7ba(blablabla, series of caracters)>:0
"

... Any ideas how to repair this ?

[Fuo]

Hi, can I ask how to view/improve the relationship with the characters? If this is written in the guide, then I apologize...it is very difficult to navigate when English is not my native language....

[JDoe]

Thank you DK, I actually figured it out.

[dkerensky]

If you see my comment below yours, I have included a link to the bag of tricks mod.
I would suggest you use that instead of using my hacks as it has more convenience of use and is updated unlike my guide.
I stopped playing the game about 6 months after release and that is well... a while ago.
Changes to files in save, like splitoff of several of the files and format has happened and the guide does not account for that at all.

[JDoe]

I opened my save file after disabling cloud saves. I opened with 7zip, then I saw player.json. I also selected edit with 7zip, then edtted my BP and then hit save. When i went to exit it said "do you want to save in the archive" i hit yes.

I opened the json again to ensure the change took. When i loaded the game i had the same BP again. So apparently it didn't work.

[dkerensky]

I'd check bag of tricks mod to find that.
Fairly sure I found those in memory with a memory editor and altered numbers on the fly so I didnt have to look in savefile and reload after changing numbers.
Anyways, Bag of Tricks should fix that and is way more up to date than this guide which was relevant about one year into release really.

[rex le massacreur]

hello small question how do I increase the number of Camping supplies that we have in inventory?

[dkerensky]

Been ages since I played the game so I dont have details in my memory anymore.
However:
Finding and changing the event will be tricky work.
I suggest either using the bag of tricks mod to alter the tax effect if possible or scanning the player.json file for tax or similar and see if altering the taxes in either way rectify the problem.
