Kamiko Save File Editor

A save file decompiler/recompiler for Kamiko for PC

Requirements

To use the Kamiko Save File Editor, Python is required. This is written for Python 3 (3.6+ recommended).

Usage

Place save_loader.py in the same folder as the Kamiko save data. This is usually placed at C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\LocalLow\Flyhigh works\Kamiko\.

To run the script, open a command line in this folder.

Decompiling

Any of the following can be used:

python save_loader.py -l
python save_loader.py -load
python save_loader.py -l -p path_to_SaveData

When decompiling a save file, if you provide no path using the -p command line argument, it will default to SaveData in the same folder as the python script. This mode will generate the file SaveData.json, overwriting any existing file with this name.

Recompiling

Any of the following can be used:

python save_loader.py -s
python save_loader.py -save
python save_loader.py -s -p path_to_SaveData.json

When recompiling save data, if you provide no path using the -p command line argument, it will default to SaveData.json in the same folder as the python script. This mode will generate the file SaveData. This will overwrite any existing file. If there is no backup of the save data file, a backup will be created to ensure that the original save data isn't overwritten. This backup will have the name SaveData.bak.

Tips relating to modifying SaveData.json

_saveDataUnitList contains a list of 3 save data "units". Each unit contains 3 "jobs". Each of these jobs contains PlayerData, MapData and a number of pieces of information relating to timing and other properties.

PlayerData

Status values are quite self-explanatory. The max HP and SP values can be set above the maximum values you can normally obtain in the game. If HP > 12, the UI will not display the extra icons, however the functionality will still be there. If SP > 400, the bar will just extend out of the usual area, which looks quite bad. Position should probably not be messed with. Setting it to a value which causes the character to not be on land you can stand on causes the game to not function properly (movement is weird and restricted).

MapData

MapKey has the format kamiko_map_XY where X = (1, 2, 3, 4), and Y = (1, 2). X is the level, and Y is 1 if it's the main level, and 2 if it's the boss level. The other values probably shouldn't be messed with or don't really need to be.

Other values

_playTimeForMap is the current amount of time spent on the particular map. Set this to 0 to have a timer starting at 0 for the map. _clearTimeEachMapList is a list of the clear times for each level.
