May i know how do you add "PlayerCompanionSavename" string array. It would be very helpful if you could give me an example of how to do that. Thanks
So I decided to write a script for this to make it a lot easier. It should work normally but I would still highly recommend backing up your save files before using it.
For some reason you can't upload python scripts on here so the first thing you need to do is to download the file and change the extension from ".txt" to ".py". Now you need to place it in the folder with your saves, which can be found at:
*path_to_game*\GrowthRPG\Saved\SaveGames
To run the script you need to click the address bar in the file explorer, type in "cmd" and hit enter. This will open a command prompt pointing to the save folder.
Now you need to type in:
"python editsave.py *yoursavefile*.sav”
This will print out some properties of all the characters but won’t change anything yet.
To modify your followers you need to open the script in a text editor. Copy the names of the NPCs you want as followers from the command prompt (save name, not the one above it) and put them in "npc_custom" like so:
b"LesserFollowerCompanion",
b"BarrelOwnerRepeatable",
etc.
Now you have to run the script again. You can easily do so by pressing the up arrow and enter to execute the last command. This time it will change your followers to what you put in the script.
By the way, if the NPC you added doesn't show up it might be because it is marked as dead or it doesn't exist in the save file. For example you can't have the bandit gate guard as a follower if you beat him or the giant rat if you haven't completed the sewer yet.
