Role Playing Game > PC > Albion > Save Hacking


Last Updated : June 22nd, 2005

Here's a guide a found with all credit going to the author MORDORMail Link.The bottom of this guide describes a program called "savegame editor" but after searching for hours, I couldn't find anything relevant to Albion. I did however find a german program that will allow you to edit saved games, but it is... german. See my Albion Trainer page to get more details, otherwise use the below method to hack your own saves with a Hex Editor.

ALBION 
Offset List v1.00 ENGLISH (01/17/97) 
BY MORDOR 


You will need any hex editor to perform these cheats. With editor load 
Albion savegame file (save.*). Savegame file length changes during game. 
In order to find first hero record you must search for 'XLD0I' string in 
file. 245 bytes after the first occurance of this string you can find first 
hero record. As far I know each hero record is 940 bytes long, but I will 
not describe all data in it. 


For example: 
1. Open 'save.001' 
2. 'XLD0I' string is located at 44950 (AF96h) 
3. First hero record start at 45195 (B08Bh) 
4. To find next hero add 940 (46135, B437h) 


You can find 9 heroes in game.

HERO RECORD:

This cheat describes only part of whole hero record (940b). I guess there are more 
interesting information about hero there so make your own research. For 
sure hero's inventery is there.
