SaveParser - Editor for Total War savegames - v1.40.0.0

[Viewday]

It cannot open the save game of the latest version....

Eagerly waiting for an update

Hi all, I assume SaveParser is using EsfLib/PackFileManager under the hood. So, I have been debugging and I found there are two new datatypes:
0x23 - a single byte
0x24 - 2 bytes

'New datatypes' is not quite the right though, I have encountered 0x23 in my own tool and in EsfEdit in the last version (1.5.1) of a Warhammer2 save game. But that was hidden in the MILITARY_FORCE_TYPE_MANAGER nodes, which I guess was not visited frequently to cause any trouble.

Anyway, wrapping up. I have no idea what these values represent, but if you read/write the right amount of bytes (as stated above) we can workaround the problem for now and correctly parse newer save games.

Thanks.

how might this be done exactly ?

IMRZ's fix has been implemented into the latest version of EditSF. As EditSF and SaveParser share .dll files, a temporary solution until Rhonin has time to update SaveParser is to download EditSF and copy its .dll files to SaveParser's directory. I have just tested this and successfully loaded, edited, and reloaded a post-patch save in the game.

I found it on sourceforge!

Thank you, Sampsiceramos, switching the .dll files does let me open the savegames - but there's still some tables missing (new units and character skills, for example) that can't be easily edited with the current SaveParser. I have to confess, for my single-player Total War campaigns at least, I've forgotten how to play the game without using mods and this tool. Hope it hasn't been abandoned.

It's not abandoned. RoninX posted here back on the 19th. He was in Italy.

I am still there, but as soon I return home, I will fix SaveParser.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound so dramatic and I certainly didn't mean to nag...
Thanks for all of your work, really helps to improve the game experience for a lot of people!

hey mate, just wondering if this is working on warhammer 2 multiplayer saves? i presumed it was and edited a save but when i tried to load it with my friend it said something like he wasnt the original other player (cant remember exact message, sorry.) so he couldnt join the game. All i did while editing it was add research and some money to my faction.

I think the amber wizard (free updated character) may still need to be added. It's traits are coming up as ERROR.

Hm, i got that free DLC. I thought I got everything implemented.... seems not.
Can you provide me your savegame and tell me which char has this problem?

Is there a Release Date when the save parser will updatet for TW Three Kingdoms?

Not really. I do not even have the game and real life errants keep me busy. As a guess I would say somewhere in later June.

[poom15005]

Really miss what I can do on WH2 with Save Parser while playing TW3K ;P

Hope you can release new version soon

[Toastedsnow]

Still checking once a week for a hopeful TW:3K update. Easily top 3 of the most helpful TW toolsets, editSF really just doesn't compare, at least as far was wanting to muck around with the individual traits and inventories.
Hopefully you'll find some time in the near future
