So thanks hugely for that. You've just made my job a lot easier. :) No problem! Glad I could help! I was actually writing a function to manipulate the individual bytes! I did a similar thing, and lost quite some time writing useless code! I noticed that those numbers were used as indexes in the inv...

I'm in the middle of tackling a bizarre number system employed by the save files If talking about the 0x3FF0, 0x4000, 0x4008, 0x4010, etc. numbers used to identify the characters, to index the items in the inventory and in fact for most of numerical values in the game (such as strength, vitality, d...

Hi everyone! I love the game and I was thrilled to see the custom portrait feature was added in the latest patch (1.1.4)! However this option is only available for a new game and being in level 11 now, I lack the courage to start all over again just to enjoy it! ;) So I wrote a script to patch my ol...
