w3se

A save game editor for inXile Entertainment's Wasteland 3

This was tested against save files from the Linux Steam version (1.6.9.420.309496) without any DLC.

Usage

After Installing (see below), run python src/main.py to launch.

Use the File- > Load Save Game dialog. Browse to your save game file, and edit away!

Features

• View party members and edit their stats
• Attributes and Attribute points
• Add/Edit/Remove items in the party inventory
• Add perks to each character
• Edit money

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local system

• git clone https://github.com/stolinator/w3se.git

2. [Optional] set up a virtual environment

• cd into the repository folder
• python3 -m venv w3se
• source w3se/bin/activate

3. Use pip to install dependencies

• pip install -r requirements.txt
  • If you are on Windows, you'll need a patched version of python-lzf (see teepark/python-lzf#5)

4. Run main.py

• python src/main.py

Bugs

Editing certain values without the game engine running may have unwanted side effects. This is not a comprehensive list, just some observations I've made from using the editor.

If adding perks to a character:

• You can safely add perks with passive bonuses
• If you want to add an ability-granting perk (e.g. 'Rally') your character will not get the linked ability in-game
• Takeaway: add perk points for non-passive perks and add these perks in-game

If increasing character's skills:

• Using the editor to max out a skill level will not grant skill-related crafting recipes
• Takeaway: if you want the crafting recipes, increase skill points and raise that skill in-game

Development Notes

If your shell is bash compatible, project.sh will automate to automate development functions. Currently, you can run, test, orlint files.

Running Tests

After installing dependencies, just run the pytest command.

Running the Linter

Run pylama src to view any linter conflicts.

Planned Updates

• A more efficient way to find the Wasteland 3 save files on a given system
  • Should put common locations in the README
• Allow manually adding items/perks if not available in provided text files
• Include pre-built releases for anyone looking to test out the project!
