A hexadecimal editor (I use Hex Editor Pro*, but there may be alternatives, though I haven't found one).A hexadecimal calculator (I use NeoCal*, but there are alternatives).The apps needed (or something similar) are: If you are not comfortable with these procedures, you should be able to transfer the data to your PC, then edit it with a saved-game editor (I haven't tried this, but it should work fine). If you decide to do this, you will need a hexadecimal editor and calculator (for my recommendations, see the app links below). At a minimum, you will need to be able to manipulate hexadecimal values. If you are not technically inclined, stop here or proceed with extreme caution (I don't give specific step-by-step instructions on what I consider to be prerequisite knowledge). OK, this was actually the disclaimer, but if I put "disclaimer" at the beginning, no one would read this paragraph! You are on your own! Take responsibility for your own actions. If you have problems with your Beamdog Infinity Engine game after editing one of its files, do not (I repeat, do not) blame me or Beamdog or, bother them with bug reports (unless you can reproduce the problem with a clean game). Also, be aware, sometimes problems won't show up until much later simple changes can have unexpected and catastrophic consequences and sometimes, a cascading effect. Even keeping it simple, it's easy to get confused (hopefully not with this tutorial, though), I still do and I've been doing this stuff for over 35 years (see Notes at the bottom of this post)! Always make a backup (you only need to copy the files to somewhere safe). For sanity's sake, though, I would suggest using these procedures for nothing more than simple game tweaks.īe aware, you will be editing the games' raw data (I hesitate to call it hacking because I believe executable code is hacked, data is edited). My goal is not to show you how to change every modifiable value in your game, but to give you the knowledge and techniques necessary to do this for yourself. I'm going to keep the tutorials fairly simple. Theoretically, you can change nearly all values associated with your characters (any dynamic game data, for that matter), but it can get very complicated. This is essentially what a saved-game editor does, we're just going to do it manually and, we're going to do it all on Android itself (these same techniques work perfectly well on other OSs, but there are usually much easier methods for those). To help close the gap just a little, I've decided to write a couple tutorials on editing saved games. I find it highly unlikely Android users will ever be able to load most Infinity Engine game mods or that all users will be able to get to the console. I don't blame Beamdog in the least (in fact, I both praise them for their efforts and applaud them for their accomplishments), but it would be nice if we could enjoy the same benefits as players of other OSs! Specifically, I am referring to the Beamdog Infinity Engine game ports' modding and console cheats. It seems, once again, as far as convenience, Android users are left out in the cold. ![]() Please Note: These techniques work with any OS, but I chose to demonstrate on Android for the reasons sited. If you follow this very simple and reasonable requirement, you are free to repost it. You must give credit to "Trasd" and link to this post. If you reproduce it, be courteous enough to give me credit - in fact, I insist upon it. Editing Infinity Engine Game Data (on Android)ĬOPYRIGHT: I have found this tutorial posted elsewhere with others taking credit! Beamdog forums has the only official and author authorized post. ![]()
