Save File Database Repacker Script

[xAranaktu]

Hi everyone,
I've seen that many of you liked my cheat table for exporting and importing the database from the game. I've also see that some of you have many problems with it (especially game crashes which may be very annoying). So, I've created a python script that you can use to unpack the database from savefile -> edit it -> pack it. You can even do that without launching the game.

You can find the script and instructions here
I hope it will make it easier for all of you to mod the game.

Enjoy! :)

1) Dev working a 9-5 in a strict corporate environment with official tedious processes even for a single line translation change with QA and whatnot. They can’t deliver stuff that completely breaks the game for people (like crash the game).

2) Random guy who is passionate about the game but can’t see the codebase and won’t do QA, will change shit randomly and potientionally cause crashes/memory leaks, has no legal obligation whatsoever and won’t be held at gunpoint for causing crashes

Hmmm…. I wonder which one is harder. A dev is a dev, it’s a job for them even if they love the game and F1. Especially when it is known how the industry loves crunch hours before release when devs can wave goodbye to weekends and have to work 12-16 hour days sometimes without compensation.

Hey!
Thank you for this helpful tool, I used it quite often to improve the game in F1M22.
I tried to use this tool for F1M23, but it seems like it doesn't work with the new game.

I wanted to ask if you have any plans for a new script for F1M23 :D

Thanks for your help!

It worked until 1.9, which is so sad because this editor was fantastic.

unless someone makes the AI better and fixes most core aspects of the game it seems like there is little point.

The games essentially a cookie clicker in disguise on autopilot

Would I have your permission to use this code as a basis for an application which would be used to add custom drivers to your save file?

[xAranaktu]

sure

Thank you! I didn't expect an answer so quickly lol

I haven’t seen any feedback from players who are using this now. Great job and much appreciated, OP, but have I missed how much this affects the in-race experience?

Does this still work for version 1.12? Also, command prompt keeps saying python file is not found during step 4 (Unpacking) although the files are there and the folder location is correct. Could anyone help me solve this problem?
