Make sure you've saving the file after you edit it in whatever program you use to edit it externally, and then remember to import the modified file using the import function (next to export.)
Yes I did indeed modified it from an external program when I finally manage to make sense of the file (when I sold all the gems I had on the save), then saved and imported back. I could verify it as I made sure the changes made were still there after importing the file onto save wizard, thing is the changes didnt take place when back into the game, I had maxed out the amount of blood rock in the stash and yet I still have only 6 of them in game! I wonder did they added checks for amount of items carried and in the stash?
edit; Just though of something, I notice that no matter how many items I have on my character, the save always seem to be the same sizes, makes me wonder could it be that because I have so much weapons, armor and gems, and that the file doesn't grow in size. There is some sort of a compression system taking place? As I mentioned before when selling all gems (witch is probably over 500 of these, yeah stupid of me, but I hate micromanaging inventory and no way of getting rid of these in batch so never bothered with em...) I could find pretty much anything I was searching for... although the changes made still not stick in game, but that was a start, might have simply changed too much at once!
Your file shouldn't change in size, you're only editing slight numbers. But what game are you editing, Bloodborne or Dark Souls?
Bloodborne
and now seems im doin worst than before, somehow my file has become cryptic... cant find any values whatsoever, checking in game searching using spreadsheet, nothing adds up, even trying to find stuff by quantities get me nowhere.... that is very odd.
Found about quickcodes yesterday, gave it a try by entering some on my save, but afer using them and getting the message modification successful, back in game nothing worked. Wonder if these quick codes messed up my save. although its still playable so not so sure...
might revert to an older save to be sure!
With Bloodborne, make sure you're editing the correct save slot. They're offset by 1, so if you're attempting to edit the 2nd character, you would pick slot 1 as opposed to slot 2, etc. This is correlates with your exporting as well. Chances are you're editing one of your other saves instead of the intentional one.
Turn out you are right.... dumb me. lol
Well in my defence, when I first started editing my save I assumed it was like that, been like that on other games I use to mess around with back in the days, anyway when first opening my save it wasnt at userdata00 (wich I was sure it would since Ive only got 1 character)
so checked on the other and it was userdata10 (was surprised too but read somewhere that some update on save wizard caused that sometimes). In the end was always moding on user10 cuz all the other users were blank (all 00). somehow tonight as I openned save wizard and my save it was on user00 and there was data there as opose to before... weird hein!
Re did same modification to this save and everything work first time like a charm!
Did clear lots of extra gems witch i wish id kept for editing some but w/e Im just happy its all working now!
Thx for the help!!!
