Simply rename this file back to “player.gdc” and try it again in the game and/or the editor. If this editor has successfully saved/written to this character at least once, you should find a “” file. What I mean is, if your old character is named “Odie”, then you’d want to look into the “_Odie” directory.

Restore character from “” in “_oldCharacter” directory You might want to try the following to see if that will fix things. This directory holds a “player.gdc” file that the game refuses to recognize. Something has gone wrong somewhere…Īnyway, if you open up your save directory, you should probably see your “_oldCharacter” directory in there somewhere. It should at least throw up a wall-of-text error at you. But, it’s not normal for the editor to simply crash/close when loading a character file. It then shows you the name of the directory, which happens to match the name of the character, though with a “_” in front. IIRC, the editor looks checks for directories that seem to have a “player.gdc” file present. When I choose that character I either get an error or the editor just closes. The characters are working normally in the game, but when I bring up the editor there is an extra character with the old character’s name but with an _ in front of it. Since it’s fairly straightforward to add items this way, there really isn’t a separate dupe/copy function. This tells the editor: “You see that bunch of stuff living at inv/0/items? Add a thing to it called so-and-so.” x) Fortunately, this is fairly straightforward. Technically, the editor doesn’t dupe items, it just creates new ones. It’s from 2016 and the editor has changed a bit, but it does kind of explain paths via examples. You may want to look through the “Changing your equipment and weapon” section in the original post. You can try giving the show command these paths and see if it can find the right piece of data. So, that means, invent/0/items is actually talking about the same path. You can freely shorten each of the path components as long as the editor can still find a unique match as it tries to travel along the folder-like structure. IIRC, the editor will show you the actual path that it is visiting, which should be: You can take a look at what actually lives at that path with this: In THAT, there is another thing named “item” In that, there is another thing named “0”. There is a thing named “inv” on the character. This is very much like having to type in the path to a file (or use a file open dialog) to tell a program where a file lives on your disk. So when you ask the Dior to change some data on the character, you then need to tell it “where that data is”.

So about that magic looking inv/0/items… This editor takes your loaded character and lets you explore the data saved in there kind of like the folders on your disk.
