How to change savegame policy [ ENG / SVK ]

[ENG] Here I found a way how to change a M&B's saving policy from Realisitc! to Quit without saving..
[SVK] Tu je spôsob ako zmeniť nastavenie ukladania hry z Realisitckej na Ukončenie bez uloženia

[ENG] Introduction

We will use a HEX editor, which can be downloaded HERE[mh-nexus.de]. The reason why we use HEX editor is because it's easier to navigate and edit in it and you'll see why. It should work with mods and other modules also as well as M&B Wfas however I'm not sure if it works with original M&B cuz I haven't tested it yet.

[ENG] Opening the file

Okay so when you install the HEX editor, open it and choose file/open in the upper left corner
Now locate you save game. Default path is computer/documents/Mount&Blade Warband Savegames/Native/sg00-08. When you open the file you should see something like this

[ENG] Locating the right value and editing it

Ok so now what we need to understand is this: In the middle (green) we can see letters, symbols and other stuff, on the left (red) a lot of numbers/letters
Now we need to locate the right value to edit and here is how:

Step 1.) locate you characters name (it doesn't need to be literal as the HEX editor can't recognize some symbols)










Step 2.) after your character's name you should see some dots, than symbols, again dots,......










Ste 3.) now there should be a large amount of dots, take 3rd dot, select and it










You can see that In the line there are 2 symbols and then dots.. You can see that HEX value for
Ş = AA
] = 5D
after theese two symbols are dots with HEX = 00. Now what you do is this!
locate the 3rd (selected) dot










and change value of it depending on what save game system you want:
"00" for "Realistic! No quiting without saving"
"01" for "Allow to quit without saving"









The edited value and dot should become red and if so, SAVE the file and enyoj.

[SVK] Úvod

Použijeme editor HEX, ktorý si môžete stiahnuť TU[mh-nexus.de]. Dôvod, prečo používame editor HEX, je ten, že je jednoduchšie
sa v ňom navigovať a editovať v ňom. Uvidíte prečo. Malo by to fungovať aj s módmi a inými modulmi ako aj s M&B Wfas. Napriek tomu si nie som ale istý či to bude fungovať aj v originálnom M&B keďže som to na tom ešte neoskúšal.

[SVK] Otváranie súbora

Ak máte nainštalovaný HEX editor, otvorte ho a choďte na file/open v hornom ľavom rohu
Teraz musíte nájsť uloženú hru ktorú chcete editovať. Normálna cesta k uloženej hre je počítač/dokumenty/Mount&Blade Warband Savegames/Native/sg00-08. Keď to otvoríte mali by ste vidieť niečo takéto

[SVK] Vyhľadanie správnej hodnoty a jej úprava

Najprv musíme pochopiť toto: V strede (zelená) môžeme vidieť písmená, symboly a ďalšie veci. V ľavo (červená) veľa čísel a písmen
Teraz musíme nájsť správnu hodnotu a tu je postup ako na to:

Krok 1.) Nájdi meno svojej postavy (nemusí byť od písmena do písmena pretože HEX editor nevie rozpoznať podaktoré symboly)










Krok 2.) Za menom svojej postavy by ste mali vidieť bodky, symboly, zasa bodky,.....










Ste 3.) teraz by tam malo byť veľa bodiek pri sebe. Vyberte 3. bodku a označte ju










Môžete vidieť že v riadku sú 2 symboly a potom bodky.. Môžete vidieť že HEX hodnota symbolov je:
Ş = AA
] = 5D
po týchto dvoch symboloch sú tri bodky s HEX = 00. Teraz urobíte toto!
nájdite tretiu (označenú) bodku.










a zmente jej hodnotu podľa toho aký systém ukladania chcete:
"00" pre "Realistické! Bez uložení nebude možné ukončit hru"
"01" pre "Umožnit odejít ze hry bez uložení"









Upravená hodnota vľavo aj bodka vpravo by mali byť teraz červené. Ak áno tak dajte ULOŽIŤ a užívajte si.

No problem, i'm already testing it, but the only problem is changing the text size, because of the number of letters of a faction bigger than the original...
Anyway, many thanks for the attention!

File Destroyer hmm I’m not sure I can look at it when I come home but don’t expect it to work or be done soon as I have never thought about it but I’ll look at it

[Fire Destroyer]

Hey man, thanks for the guide!
Do you know if though these editing I can change the ownership of a city?
If not, do you know any save game editor for WFAS?

[Lors]

Ah, fair enough. Thanks for the reply!

[CrusaderSVK287]

There are some reasons for example:
- When you are in the middle or late game and you want to change it
- When you accidentally choose the wrong one and you are sh** player (me lol)
- And this is my personal reeason: I was playing With fire & Sword Cossack storyline which is really buggy and I needed to do a lot of reserve saves just in case but I accidentally choose the Realistic option and I was in the middle of the game.. So I found a way how to change it and decided to share it

[Lors]

Maybe I am not all that bright, but what exactly is the purpose of changing the save policy? If I understand correctly, it changes if it auto saves before quitting which sounds like something you would want on. Is there another purpose to having this off?

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Ďakujem som rád že sa ti páčil :)
