Goblin Hacker - Skills and Character editor

Post by ioquatix »

Hi,

I am proud to share with you a character and skills hacker I wrote yesterday afternoon. I was screwing about with the game, and found some parts too difficult, so I hacked the file format. I made an app that everyone can use.

Please check it out:

There might be some bugs so please let me know any feedback on this thread. Also, remember to back up any important savegames!

Regards,
Samuel

Ah Samuel, that does look like a sweet little editor but sadly I'm still on OS X 10.4 and won't be making the move to 10.5 for quite a while. I hate to ask this but is there any chance you might do a 10.4 version for us late adapters?

10.4 / 10.5

Post by ioquatix »

I could make a 10.4 version but I'd have to remove some bits like the save-game list (which uses NSCollectionView - a 10.5 feature). Since I'm doing this for free, I'm not sure if I'll get time soon, but I'll keep it in mind next time I am hacking some new features.

Thanks for your comments.

Didn't work

Didn't work for me. All values listed as "1" and when I tried to change the skills, the change wouldn't take. Something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks Samuel. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just a stats editor would awesome. I'll keep an eye on this topic so please do let us know if you put something together.

Actually, I'd like to have it because i'm stuck. There's a bug in my save and there are like a thousand enemies in one spot. I can't just ignore them becuase there's a main quest past them. I really wish it was for windows.

Update

Hi all,

Myself and another Eschalon player are working on a new release. We have fixed the bug regarding stats all being 1, and will make a release within a week or two.

Does the the bug window pop up, the one that says Send To Apple?

If so, can you copy all the information here and I'll look into it.

Sorry, you are going to have to send me the information I requested for me to be able to debug the problem.

Also, information about your computer and OS version is necessary.

Please refer to this guide for a general outline of how to ask for help: http://www.edgeofmyseat.com/articles/20 ... ting-bugs/
