Requirements
Usage
- Start the application using SOTFEdit.exe
- Click on "File" -> "Open Savegame"
- Select your savegame
- Edit
- Save with "File" -> "Save"
If you use one of the "Tools" this will trigger a reload of the savegames, which will discard any pending changes. I'd recommend to use the tools after you're
done with editing.
Inventory
- In order to add or remove items, just double click on the row
- There is no sanity check on the values entered at the player's inventory. So something like "100" for backpack will most likely lead to undesired behaviors.
Armor
Armor protects you from most hazards. However you are still going to drown and die from fall damage.
Weather
There is one very important thing. If you only change the season, it will be reverted immediately when the game progresses.
To fix that, you also have to adjust the played time at "Game State". It is calculated based on the length of the season. Here is an example:
- Starting Season: Spring
- Season Length: Long
- Played Time: 31 Days
The in-game season will be winter, because:
- Day 0-9 = Spring
- Day 10-19 = Summer
- Day 20-29 = Autumn
- Day 30-39 = Winter
So if you want to change the weather to Summer, you need to adjust the playtime days to something between 10 and 19.
Here is a list of number of days per season per season length setting:
- Short: ???
- Default (non-custom games): 5 days
- Long: 10 days
- Realistic: 90 days
Reviving
If you want to revive either or both followers, there are some things to consider:
- If the body is completely missing, the follower will spawn at the players location
- Make sure to be outside of buildings, else you might glitch into the building sometimes
- The followers will be at maximum stats and should be friendly towards players
- They will not have any items, but you can easily use the other Editors to change that after reviving
- Virginia is shy as a lamb when she was revived. I haven't tested it thoroughly but to me it appears that you have to regain her trust, like in the beginning
of a session. I'm still trying to figure out which setting determines her trust.
Spawning
This feature is quite experimental and allows the duplication of Kelvin and Virginia. It turns out that the game can not spawn, for some reason, more than 5
Virginias. If the value is higher, they would spawn somewhere unreachable.
Kelvin was tested successfully with 20, so this is also the maximum now.
If you want to exceed this maximum, you would have to save, fire up the tool, spawn and load the game again.
Be careful: This feature will most likely kill your performance and may corrupt your savegame.
Make sure to enable backups!
Troubleshooting
One of the items in inventory is listed as "Unknown"?
- Please report the ItemId so that I can add it to the list of known items
My game does not work anymore?
- If you have selected to create backups before saving, you can just delete the old files and restore the files that are suffixed with ".bak*".
I get errors and the application does strange things
I can not change "IsRobbyDead" or "IsVirginiaDead"
- In order to revive both there is a special button at "Followers" that does the job
Contributing
Feel free to report any unknown items or any feature requests. PRs are also welcome.
Final Words
Big thanks to Gronkh for your many years of "Influenz". Especially without your "The Forest" streams I would have never known anything
about that game.
