Cassidy bug, AI packets and adding new party NPC's

At the offset 27 replace 43 with 48 in a hex editor and here you have it. All values are given in hexadecimal.

Is this for the savegame edit? If so, which proto is it? Because if it's proto #89 in the proto/critters directory, offset 27 is not 43.

It's for both the #89 base proto from master.dat and for the one in your saveagame slot. You need to unpack (gzip) the protofile that is in your save first - which you would have known if you read the whole thread.

Yup. You need 7zip or WinZip(i think) to do this. Just right click the proto file and choose "7zip" or Archive options, i don't rightly know what it's called. then you should be able to open it like a normal archive. drag the file in the archive out to some folder, edit it and then put it back in the archive. I just had to do this on Vic because the bastard won't level up right.

Ah, I thought that was just for the one in the master.dat. Haha, boy is my face red then. :O

EDIT: Changing the proto in that way appears to have broken the savegame. Fortunately I made a backup of the proto just in case something like that happened, and loading the backup proto saved the, er, savegame.
