Usage

There are two ways to execute the script: non-interactive or interactive.

Non-Interactive Mode

Run the tool from the shell, providing parameters as command arguments.

python save_editor.py [[-h] {import,export} save_file_path]

python save_editor.py -h

Decompress a .save file

Extract gamesession.xml and .sub files from a .save file to ./tmp/import/

python save_editor.py import "path/to/save/file.save"

Edit gamesession.xml and add copy .sub files to ./tmp/import/ to modify the save data.

Recompress files to a .save file

Compress modified save data from ./tmp/import/ to a Barotrauma .save file.

python save_editor.py export "path/to/save/file.save"

Interactive mode

Executing the save_editor.py directly (i.e. double-clicking save_editor.py in the file browser) without providing command-line arguments will run the tool in interactive mode. In interactive mode, the program will prompt the user to enter each parameter.
