Solasta: Crown of The Magister

[hal9000]

I'm mainly looking for a way to change the character stats, I've tried a couple of times to search the values in character creation screen... The first time I've tried to set all stats to 98 but for some reason only STR increased while all the others decreased seemingly randomly, in the second try I changed all to 20 and it increased all of them but unfortunately in both cases it broke the character and I cannot open his inventory or loot chests.
Any Idea on how to change the values without breaking stuff?

[TheRedFear]

I'd also love a way to add skill proficiencies and feats in addition to just breaking through the Str/Dex/Con/Int/Wis/Cha limits.

Following the tutorial of creating a character, when you come to the ability scores, it says:

Ability scores are the six core attributes defining where your character excels:
Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, with values from 3 to 20.

note the underlined and highlighed in the quote. So perhaps the skills value shouldn't be higher than 20 in all of them?

While creating my character I edited my points and was only able to add points in the different skills till it was at 16, as it had a +3 bonus. But I'll continue to play with it and see if I can't make them 20 or maybe higher..

Just began with the game, but at least finding the code which decreases the available points at char creation is a trivial task.
Works fine if you only increase the amounts as far as the game naturally allows (so if it stops at 16 STR then let it stay there)

For anyone interested, here's a table which allows you to spent more attribe points at char creation. Hotkey is F1.
Update1: added a script to get 9999 Platin, Gold, Silver, Copper after buying something.

Some random notes about cheating this game, could be useful...

Even when the game is updated and the code changes, the Names of the functions will stay. So after activating mono, one can jump to the right code location and see what has changed.

This code writes back the experience after getting some of it:
RulesetCharacterHero:GrantExperience+42 - 89 51 20 - mov [rcx+20],edx

In memory there are two 4-byte-integers for each character respresenting XP. Both are 10 bytes apart and the first one seems to overwrite the latter one.

At RulesetTreasury:SpendAmounts+fa the money is set after buying something.

Seems to read/change life:
RulesetCharacterHero:RefreshAll+1db - 89 86 10010000 - mov [rsi+00000110],eax

Getting Damage in Fight:
RulesetCharacter:SustainDamage+3f3 - 41 89 86 10010000 - mov [r14+00000110],eax

GameLoreManager sounds interesting.

CharacterStageSpellSelectionPanel is most likely for learning spells. Don't get it...

Edit: Due to the awesomeness of gideon25's work, there is no need for further updates of my table. Head over to his thread.

Thank you for your work . Unfortunately, while the money script does work perfectly, the attribute one seems to do nothing (all the stats are still capped despite the script being active)... I activate it once reached the page where the game ask you to roll stats after setting it to a point system (the one with infinite points), am I doing it wrong?

[hisvileness]

you can use however many skill points you want in character wrt stat allocation if you say you're making an already existing character - it just turns the skill point tally into a infinite

[Cabola]

After experimenting a bit I've learned you can play the game with having the attribute skills (str, dex, con, int, wis, char) as high as up to 30. Past that and the game starts crashing and what not.

Same with me. Doesn't do anything, and money's already easy to cheat.

[Marc]

You're right - the AOB has been to short and catches the wrong opcode.
Will upload other version in a few seconds...

How'd you pull that off?

I just changed the stats in game, I was also a moron and forgot to save my table -.-'

I couldnt get the stat one to work, it wont move past 8


NM got it

[Vandermeer]

Good news everyone. I managed to edit a savegame to enable all kinds of shenanigans and wanted to report my findings. This includes not only modding of the attributes and hp, but apparently there is even support from the game mechanics to do stuff like increasing base armor class, initiative, number of attacks, critical chance, your proficiency bonus, nbr. of divinity channels per rest, healing pool size for paladins, etcetc. . I haven't experimented with spell slot capacity yet, but it should be possible too, and I encourage you to figure more things out.

Instructions
First of all, you are going to need a hex editor. If you use notepad++, go to plugins>plugins admin and scoll down to install the hex-editor. Then find your savefile (mine was in "[user]\AppData\LocalLow\Tactical Adventures\Solasta\Save Files", but if you haven't cut it off from Steam, it will have it somewhere under steamapps). If you have your file, you can turn "view in hex" on under plugins>hex-editor.

Attributes
To find the relevant stat block, you now have to search your character's name one time in upwards direction. This is important, because there are a myriad of mentions in downward direction due to all logged dialogue referencing you. Another identical stat block is also at the beginning that probably just represents your first level raw character, so changes here wouldn't reflect ingame. Once you have found your first character name mention at the bottom of the save, you can scroll downwards to begin your mischief:

This character of mine is meant to be an elven vampire inspired from a famous rpg-maker game, meaning his phsical stats need that extra punch.
To modify an attribute, you will have to look when it sections begins with some "strength.value" string for example for strength. Here, at (1) in the picture, you have to edit both "BaseValue" and "CurrentValue" to what you want. Notice that 24 in hex is 18, because 1x16 + 8x1 = 24.
Important: BaseValue and CurrentValue will be different if you receive for example some racial modifier. You have to set Base to what it is before the race is considered, and Current to the real value you actually want. (e.g. my dexterity is actually 16 in Base, and 18 in Current, because a Sylvan Elf will receive +2 Dex)
If you plan to have a character that can go beyond a natural stat of 20, like in the picture, you will also have to change the "MaxEditableValue", as seen in (2). In DnD 5e, you can generally go 4 attribute points beyond the racial limit using artifacts, so I set it to 28 with "1c".

If you have done all this right, your to-Hit score, damage and skill checks will now automatically be readjusted. However, your HP and initiative wont, because the game doesn't update those outside of real ingame attribute mods. So if you mod Dexterity or Constitution, you will have to do this by hand.

Initiative

Further down in the same section you will (amongst many others) find Initiative as a special attribute. The thing here is that, compared to the attribute modding, just changing the CurrentValue is not enough. (Base is 0 btw.) You will also have to make an edit further down, because the real value is checked by the value of the modifier. Note that it should be 7 from this character's dexterity score, but I gave him 2 extra for being all vampire and darque.

Hitpoints

Now this took some time to figure out. By now you should know how to do the basic attribute change, so editing something like "AbilityScore.HitPoints" should be easy, but it is not enough. Despite being too lazy to update it with your rising CON score, the game cross checks the value with two other sections and resets it if they don't add up.
- The first edit is this HitPoints score I mentioned. You do Base- and CurrentValue (not shown in screenshot)
- The second edit is at the very beginning of the save file. Search your name one time down, and you will see HitPoints and MaxHitpoints. This can probably be skipped, but I didn't test it without, so to be sure, adjust them to the new value as well.
- The third one is the calculation "HitPointBonusPerLevel" as shown in the screenshot. This should assume your constitution bonus, so +6 in my example. Again you have to edit CurrentValue and the Modifier reference below both.


So this is all I wanted to document. I also did the paladin healing pool and lowered the character's critical threshold to 19. You can probably see how this system can do some powerful stuff above, because you could actually define a min-value for stats, so they couldn't be debuffed for example. (Hitpoints is just the maximum though, so you cant be invincible)
Maybe someone can also figure out how to add proficiency in saves, or I might do that later. I want to play now though, and just thought I'd have to document this first, since I couldn't find anyone doing this online when I searched for trainers and editing.

Update2: with patch 0.27 the game hangs in an eternal loop when loading a savegame. A very creative (and effective) way to keep me from cheating this game... But there's a fix: in Steam Library, right-click on the game, "properties, local file, repair".

Some random notes about cheating this game, could be useful...

Even when the game is updated and the code changes, the Names of the functions will stay, I hope.

Your CE table is very good, but can you modify the unlimited weight and unlimited spell slot?If you can, the game experience will be further improved.

[Marc]

Unlimited Weight: added.

about the unlimited Spells... well.

The according .net code should be (I believe)

Code: Select all

Public Sub ModifyPoolPoints(pointsPoolType As HeroDefinitions.PointsPoolType, tag As String, delta As Integer) Implements ICharacterBuildingService.ModifyPoolPoints
	Me.pointPoolStacks(pointsPoolType).ActivePools(tag).RemainingPoints += delta
	Me.HeroCharacter.UpdateAbilityScoreModifiers()
	Me.HeroCharacter.RefreshAttributes()
	Me.NotifyChange()
End Sub

which turns in the disassembler to
