How do you make a character editor without knowing which byte means what in the character file?

He does know, he's just not willing to share :)

At some point I may figure out the save format and post information here, but I haven't been that bored yet. There are lots of other more interesting things to figure out.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, xolotl's character editor has source code, so you can determine all that data from that when he finishes the Book II port.

Well, the trainer mentioned here is something that runs in-memory and changes live values on the running Eschalon program, so for that kind of thing you don't need to know anything about the savegame format.

FWIW, my Book 2 character savegame editor should be out Real Soon Now, finally down to the Just Testing phase.

Today I talked with ioquatix about when Goblin Hacker II and he said "I'm busy doing my Masters in Computer Science for the next 4-5 months, after that I might have some time. But, a couple of other guys are working on it" so it will be coming out in about 6 months. He also says that "pparently the german developer has a working update to goblin hacker"

Is this spam? Certainly not on subject and should be removed and placed elsewhere. IMHO

Goblin Hacker is a real nice-looking character editor for Book 1 which is a native Mac application. I know that various mac folks have been clamoring for an editor for book 2 as well, given that mine is apparently a massive struggle to get working on mac (if at all).

So while it'd be perhaps more on-topic in the thread about my char editor (rather than this trainer thread), I think it's on-topic enough here.

This is quasi-hopeful news (I had wondered what had happened to ioquatix!), though it doesn't sound like it's happening anytime soon (which often ends up translating into "never!"). But at least you got in touch with him - thanks!

Of course, if xolotl can figure out a painless way to get an installer kit together for the Mac for his editor, that would be really awesome too!!

Yeah, I'd love to try, I just don't have access to Mac hardware. If somebody wants to donate a MacBook to the cause, I wouldn't say no. :)
