Very basic save game editor for Fallout 2 (tested on OSX with the GoG.com version.)
Wrote this since I couldn't find any save game editors that immediately worked on OSX (and as a fun little learning project!)
It should work outside of OSX, but no promises.
Make a backup of any save files before using this!
This script edits the save file continuously (i.e. as soon as you set a value it is set in the file) and it is easy to corrupt a save file.
Most users will probably want to use the command line shell available by running (requires Python 2.7):
python main.py
(Make sure the save file path defined in main.py is correct for your system.)
After selecting a save file, help will give you an overview of the available commands:
Command: help
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
exit help perks set_perk set_skill set_stat skills stats
and you can explore the different commands by help <command>
Command: help set_stat
set_stat [stat]
Modify stats. Values are limited to be in [1, 10].
and example usage:
Command: set_skill <TAB>
Barter Energy Weapons Lockpick Repair Sneak Throwing
Big Guns First Aid Melee Weapons Science Speech Traps
Doctor Gambling Outdoorsman Small Guns Steal Unarmed
Command: set_skill Ene<TAB>
Command: set_skill Energy Weapons
[Value: 0] New value: 100
Done.
Caveats:
- Skills are the unmodified value (so for a new game all values are 0.)
- Some perks can be set to more than
1, but not all support it (and might crash the game.)
- Add item editing.
- Show actual modified skill values.
- Some valid save game files fail the parsing stage. This seems to mostly happen with saves towards the end of the game.
