Raze Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 13323 Loc: Canada	Quote: In both cases, there are 4 bytes for experience, then a constant 00 00 00 00 then 3 bytes for skill points. Apparently the 'constant' 00 00 00 00 is not as constant as I thought, but there will be 4 bytes separating the two values. This section was the same in all my games, but another data.000 file I checked had non-zero values for the first 3 bytes.

Darth_Iceman Darth_Iceman Mercenary Registered: 07/07/04 Posts: 23	Thanks for the info Raze, nice work.. Found a quicker way to finding those experience/skill locations.. Simply make a note of your current experience points, save the game, load up ya hex editor, and search for your remembered value! (in reverse hex). I like to give me and my sarcastic knight a 5 skill bonus now and then! ....Hmmm.... Im sure there is someone out there who can make a nifty proggie that does the searching and modding..cant be that hard to make...well, before u ask, no i cant!

Adini Adini Registered: 08/12/03 Posts: 6	Ok, i tried to edit my skillpoints, to no avail. I am pretty sure i'm in the right spot, but the numbers keep reverting to 0 after i run the game. I've beaten the game with no help whatsoever, and i don't want to start over. I wasn't trying to make an "uber" character, just give myself some skill points to try out some things i've been wanting to try (without having to start over). The buyback system is just too much for me, as the amount of gold it would take to revert all my skills to zero is just insane. I am using patch 1.45, if that helps any. Was something changed in this patch? I noticed the first post here talks about an earlier patch, so if you know, please help! Thanks!

Raze Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 13323 Loc: Canada	Check the experience points for your characters, and see if the location you are at has that value (in hex) in the expected place. Alternately, use your experience to search for the correct spot (search again to find all instances, since there is a very low chance of that series of values being somewhere else in the data file by coincidence). The details for stat points were changed in the patch, but not skill points.

Raze Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 13323 Loc: Canada	There are other, less technical methods to cheat; Actiontrip.com's Beyond Divinity Cheats - starting a new game with stronger characters For you cheaters out there (The Duplication Trick) armory trick in act 1 With Pickpocket at level 1, you can steal an 'unlimited' number of stackable items by holding the control key down when clicking on the stack, and taking all but one of the items. If you do not take the entire stack, it is not counted as a steal. Welcome to the forum.

little_t little_t Warrior Registered: 12/08/04 Posts: 149 Loc: In space on a planet called Ea...	Ummm there is a way to make your guy start with stats at around 1'000'000 if you wanted in everything!!! Spoiler : all you have to do is go to computer, program files, larian studios, beyond divinity and then at the bottem it is called stats or something you should find it at he bottem or in the other files in the but nt in savegames and my guy is at such a high stat it is amazing to change the program open it as microsoft word or something of that sort and at the bottem it says custom and just change the strength and stamina or wat ever you like have fun you should only do this if you have already beat the game or it will not be that fun ok _________________________ War does not determine who is right, it determines who is left.

Raze Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 13323 Loc: Canada	For the DK's skill points, when you count up 6 rows above the # in 'Deathknight #', are you entering the FF's there and to the right (ie 'FF 00 00', 'FF FF 00' or 'FF FF FF')? For the hero's skill points, try searching backwards for the first 'Base #', rather than scrolling. Check the screenshot in the original post to make sure you are counting the rows/columns the same way I am.

Raze Raze Angel Registered: 03/10/03 Posts: 13323 Loc: Canada	Summoning Doll Unused Levels and Skill Points; Hex edit the data.000 file and search for the text string SkillsV (there should only be one instance, not too far below the PartyV term used in editing the main character stat points). This will locate the term SkillsV1.0 16-03-2004; from the 6, the summoning dolls' unused skill points are 3 rows up, while the levels are 5 rows up. The level value follows a constant term FF FF FF FF. There may be additional instances of the 'FF' constant above the first one, depending on how many summoning dolls are active in the save that is being edited. As described for the main character edits, when you convert the decimal value of the level or points you want to give yourself into hex, the last byte (pair of numbers) gets listed first in the data file, etc.
