Save editor

[SmithEK]

Why does the save editor muck up files that we edit and/or come up with a warning before playing whereas the TiTs editor doesn't seem to? Also my gender gets changed to Male if I use the CoC2 editor.

The warning part is so that devs can ignore save edited bug reports, as save editing can break the game in ways that actually playing it can't; anything broken in such a manner is thus technically not a bug, and the devs don't want to waste time trying to fix a bug that isn't there.

What Shepard said answers the first part of your question very well. However it's worth pointing out that the code folks here are so gosh darn nice that they sometimes agree to take a look at the issue even if the person reporting it admits beforehand that the file they provide is edited in specific small and unrelated areas.

The gender re-setting thing is a weird quirk of the editor I have also been scratching my head at the whole time. Apparently it doesn't like some values being left empty and automatically puts a 0 there. For gender preference it means going from automatic to forced male. If you set your preference to forced male (0) or forced female (1), this doesn't happen. A potentially related issue also leads to being unable to delete items from your inventory slots.

Only gripe I have as of now is that it's a bit out of date. Will probably only update after the next public patch comes out though.

I mean, I can't dupe the weapons create... XD
