Since NieR will put the Steam account ID in your save file, and check it before loading, it's blocking people from share their save files. I build this little tool for change that ID. Now it's able to change player name as well, but I have not plan to go further for now.
Before you do anything, backup your save file.
Run this tool, click read, open a save file from your backup, filename should be SlotData_x.dat.
It will read your Steam account ID and display it.
Then click write, select the save file from other people that you want play.
It will write your Steam account ID to it.
Put that modified save file back to your savedata folder.
Ready to go!
Note:
The Editable checkbox is for make line editors editable.
Normally you do not need to enable this.
Steam account ID should only be 20 numbers.
Player name should 16 characters.
Proceed with caution.
- be able to change Steam account ID
- be able to change player name
- be able to filter out wrong input with regular expression
- improve Japanese translation
- random crash feature that coordinate with game (lol I'm kidding)
This tool support following languages
English
Chinese
Japanese (may need improve)
