I uhā¦Hmph. Iām an idiot. Iāve updated the OP with a new version thatās a zip file that actually contains the log configuration file now. Logs for all, hooray.
Everyone who sent me log files in regards to this error, thank you. Iām pretty sure Iāve fixed it, download the new version linked in the OP to test.
New Version. Changes:
Fixed bug where Player becomes a regular staff member after save.
Fixed bug where Fan count would be set to value of the Cash text box.
Repackaged as zip that now includes logfile properties. Please extract before using.
Alrighty guys, now that Iāve ironed out most of the bugs (If not, please report them) Iām going to start adding some functionality. Unlocking of various items such as topics and what not is first on the agenda, I think.
If anyone who has a game save that is very far into the game, please let me know. Email, PM, BugTracker - you choose. The save file doesnāt contain the information until itās been bought and unlocked, and having some information without having to play through the game myself will speed the process up.
Ok, now finding I canāt seem to edit once in the second office, it apparently breaks the save files. Thankfully I started backing up before any attempts. After editing the game refuses to load, locking up on the load bar. Longest I let it sit was 20 minutes while working on something else with it still locked up when I got back.
Iām out for the day guys. Last version for now. Changes:
Experimental support for unlocking Engine Parts and topics.
Makes a backup of the current database each time you save. No limit at the moment. Just rename this to file__0.localstorage to restore a backup. Or copy it to be extra-cautious.
Download updated in OP. Note that mediafire link will never change.
Edit - It should go without saying, but Iāve had some error reports reach me with this problem, but always close the game while youāre editing the save file. The game locks the database and youāll get an error when you try to write.
Before you start, be sure to exit Game Dev Tycoon. You canāt edit the save files if itās open.
First, you need to have Java installed. Itās free to download and install. Then download from either link in the original post, extract the 2 files from the zip to anywhere you like (I suggest just dropping them in the Game Dev Tycoon directory), and double click GDTEdit to open the editor.
Once itās open, hit File and Open Default Database. Your save in question should be in one of the 3 slots, use the drop down menu near the top right of the app to move between save slots. Find the one you want to change.
When you have the save you want to edit, just do it. Keep in mind adding too much money at once is known to cause errors when you load the game, Iād suggest 5 million or so and youāll be fine.
When you finish with your changes, donāt forget to hit the File menu again and click Save.
Close the editor app and load Game Dev Tycoon. Donāt forget to Load the Saved Game once youāre in the game in order to see the changes you made.
