Ren'Py Save Editor Online - saveeditonline - For patrons only?

Save Editor Online - saveeditonline - For patrons only?

Well that sucks

For many games - mostly Ren'Py - seems like trying to use that site to change saves - is sort of useless.
"For patrons only" - message box - pops up more often than not - and we cannot change anything important.
(Not sure how it does that - or how it determines what we are allowed to change and not change - and/or why) - *Beside the money - pay me thing, lol.

There is this tool - https://f95zone.to/threads/renpy-save-editor-v1-6-1-last-moment.6456/ made by Last Moment
That works to an extent - but not like Save Editor Online would - and hasn't been updated for some time.

Are or is there any alternatives, methods, or work arounds - anyone know of?

Thanks and Cheers
Twistty

The in-game console is way better, but a little more obscure since you have to type yourself the name of the variables you want to change. By itself it's not difficult :

• For numbers : variableName = 12 then the enter key.
• For strings : variableName = "my string" then the enter key.
• For booleans: variableName = True or variableName = False then the enter key.

What is difficult is to find the name of the said variable. But for this there's the in-game variable viewer (available from the developer menu when you press SHIFT + d), that will show you the list of all the variables that will be saved ; therefore those that matter for the game.
Or if the game use object, or way too many variables, there's my Extended Variable Viewer, that do the same and way more.

To enable the console and the developer menu, you can use unren (Windows, or Linux/MacOS X).

Really? It still works for me.

There is a limit to how many saves you can edit in a certain amount of time if you are a non-patron but it still lets you use it.

Thanks so much anne O'nymous - I'll try your Extended Variable Viewer - might be just what I need?

Thanks jamdan - but wasn't actually talking about the number of saves that you are allowed to modify, but the variables themselves, which Save Editor Online does not allow you to edit - without receiving the "For patrons only" pop-up message.

Probably not "just what you need", since it don't offer the possibility to edit the value (but now that I talk about it...) but at least a big part of it. You don't need anymore to guess the name of the variable, just let the tool tell you what variable have seen it value changed, or what variable have the value you're searching.

It seems to zero in on certain keywords: I found that any variable with 'party', 'stage', 'backup', 'skill', 'target' or 'outfits' in its name is consistently "for patrons only".

However... I'm not sure if this lockout mechanism for non-patrons is always active, or whether it's just something that kicks in only if you've uploaded an x number of saves per day. I tried this with Demon Master Chris and while that game does switch between different variables for the MC's level and XP, it seems that there's variables that I was able to edit earlier today but which now have become locked.

Anyone have offline version of this to share? I had it and lost it, it was possible to obtain it after you reach limit of saves, than site offered you options either to wait certain amount of time or to download offline version. Unfortunately that is no longer possible, cause they revoked that option.

If you ever find it i would love to have it also, been looking for years.

well, as i check, subdomains s1.saveeditonline and s2.saveeditonline is for patreon only, sc.saveeditonline was selled to studiocake.kiev.ua. subdomain translate.saveeditonline is work perfectly, and it on Netherland server, all others are on local port.

You must be registered to see the links

is for free users, and it not work.
His patrons don't cancel their subscriptions - it means that site still works for them. he just don't want to spend that much money for free users, but gather from patrons and make profit. i can accept that kind of thinking. attract people with good editor and then close it to earn money.
This is not offline version, but i hope that i bring you some clarity.

Anyone here got experience with the Gametexteditor on that site?
Whenever I tried to edit the text of a .json file the changes are not shown inside the game.
Can someone give a few pointers who to edit the json files correctly?
