Character/savegame editor source code?

[Kanhef]

Is the source code available for any savegame editor (Falche, etc.)? I'm very interested in how they read certain parts of the save.dat file structure.

A quick search at sourceforge brought up this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fa2ed/

Written in java and I've got no clue how well it works (or if it works at all) but worth a try nevertheless.

Vaporware, unfortunately; it just creates a window.

I have my own editor. Source code is unreadable and all in Russian. But perhaps I can answer questions.

Russian is fine for me. I'm particularly interested in the algorithms for finding functions 6 and 13 (see here, i.e. player stats and level/experience).

My editor can edit items, so I load all .pro files for items. For finding function 6 I use these files.

f.Seek(PFunction(5)+$48,soFromBeginning); //PFunction(5) returns offset for function 5
f.ReadBuffer(bdw,4);
invitcount:=invertbyteorder(bdw);// Number of items in inventory.
bdw2:=$80;//pointer on first item
i:=1;
while i<=invitcount do
begin
f.Seek(PFunction(5)+bdw2+$30,soFromBeginning); 
f.ReadBuffer(bdw,4);
j:=invertbyteorder(bdw);//j=Object ID
//FindFieldInItemInvert(ItemID,Offset) – finds loaded pro file by ID and return value at offset
if FindFieldInItemInvert(j,_ItemType)=_container then
 begin
 f.Seek(PFunction(5)+bdw2+$4C,soFromBeginning);// 0x4C = Number of items in container.
 f.ReadBuffer(bdw,4);
 invitcount:=invitcount+invertbyteorder(bdw);
 end;
bdw2:=bdw2+GetItemSizeFromItemType(FindFieldInItemInvert(j,_ItemType));
i:=i+1;
end;

I believe that there are 4 unknown bytes after list of items, so PFunction(5)+bdw2+4 is offset for function 6.

For function 13 brute force is only way I have found. I load all packet_num, max_dist and min_to_hit from ai.txt. In function 12 I read 4 bytes and search them among loaded packet_num. If I can find packet_num + max_dist and min_to_hit are equal following 8 bytes then I add 0xB4 to offset and check again. Otherwise current offset is function 13 beginning. Chance that packet_num = Number of skill points, max_dist = Level and min_to_hit = Experience is almost zero.

If Russian is not problem then compiled version can be downloaded from http://ifolder.ru/5203189. If you need source codes I can send them but you must have at least Delphi7 (I use Borland Developer Studio 2006).

Thanks, just what I was looking for. The source would be great as well (send to my email address).
