[PSX/PC] Chocobo World Savegame Editor
« on: 2016-07-10 22:51:40 »
UPDATE: PC support added.

Download: https://github.com/suloku/ChocoEdit/releases



Lately I've learnt how to code with c# and windows forms, so I've wrapped up a quick save editor with the information I investigated three years ago (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197343-final-fantasy-viii/68239394).

For now it should work with PSX saves (*.mcs format, use MemcardRex 1.8 to manage PSX saves). Adding PC support should a no go when I find the infromation about the PC save.

ps: Does someone know what save file format does the old Chole editor use? (http://mirror.mypage.sk/ficedula/php/programs3a9a.html) It can edit the map position, which seems nice (but pointless). I know where "moves" and "direction" are stored, but these can really be changed in-game so I don't really see a point in adding them to the editor.

It looks like the 'unable to find .tempfile' error has been open since 2016, is that correct?  If so I'm hoping someone smarter than I can come up with a workaround.

Copy the chocorpg from my documents to i.e. Desktop, edit it there and move back again. This kind of error applies only to MyDocument folder located at system drive.

I tried this but I get the same error.  What I did exactly is this:

Extracted ChocoEdit to a folder on my Desktop.

Copied Chocorpg from my /Documents folder and pasted it to the same folder on the Desktop with ChocoEdit.

Ran ChocoEdit and tried loading Chocorpg.

Since I wasn't sure if it's supposed to be editing Chocorpg or Chocorpg.ff8, I tried again with Chocorpg.ff8, but I got the same error.

Why make a seperate program instead of contributing to Hyne?

Hyne does not allow me to change item numbers for Chocobo World. 
My saved game items have been reset to A-0 B-0 C-0 D-0 but in Hyne they are listed as A-17 B-130 C-0 D-0.
Changing the numbers in Hyne to something else (i.e. A-18 B-131 C-30 D-40) does not change anything in my game, although other aspects of Hyne work correctly.

Clearly the choco world editor in hyne needs some help . So again why not just improve Hyne.. If you didn't write this im not asking you.
