Saveconvert - change various settings in save file

the other option is that we write something in python and use the civ engine to change game options. That would work with some things but probably not all things. Would this also give us the ability to extra pbem passwords?
 
Since its in C could you release the source to us?
I would love to see it.

I would transfer it to C# and do some comenting and reworking if I ever get it.
 
for BtS you cant change the values in the savegame like this..
you would need to make something in game (in python or similar).. but such a mod would also prevent it being able to load standard savegames with locked assets (like multiplayer games)... so in BtS you would need to write your own savegame loading code from inside the mod... (or alternatively you could crack the BtS savegame protection mechanism)

here is the source code: (it contains some unused code and variables I think.. didnt study it too much :p )

Thank you, will work on it to see what happens.

I can't make out what is what. What functions are responsible for reading the text from the save file? And where does it convert the text to the individual values?
 
It would be truly wonderful if we could finally have a tool to edit BtS save games. I have two pbem games that need to have tech trading disabled, and we are quite far in and cannot restart them.

why disabled? Just interested to know.

We're new to pbem with normal victory conditions, and one of the games is a free-for-all with AI's and another is a team-FFA with AI's. I'm just worried that the AI's are going to trade technology with each other and make it too complicated for us humans to win. It seems that most players in the pbem forum disable tech trading as well.
 
fair enough - AIs in the game can be abused.
 
As far as I remember, if you just hexedit the save in BtS to change this, then the save wont load.. (the savegame checksum checks will fail)
But I may be wrong about just this setting..

I see. I guess we'll have to start over again, perhaps with some extra advanced start points. Thanks ruff_hi and Gyathaar.
 
Darn would a save game converter be the only way to disable Time victory mid-game? I really don't want to save my game as a new scenario since I don't want the dates and diplo modifiers reset.

I decided to start a new thread since the tool has changed quite a bit from the original tool for playing scenarios in hotseat.

I have a simple wish to be able to swap civs and their playing orders in the original WBSave file, but cannot find the right Utility for that. Say, in scenario Civ 1 starts second and Civ2 starts 4th. Any easy way to alternate this order? :confused:
 
Necro thread!

I have a BtS PBEM game going on with friends. We wish to convert it to a Pittboss game, was this application actually updated to do this since I'm reading it can't handle updated BtS save format? Is there something else that would allow us to do so?
