Can't Load File : KeyError: 'root'

[GuedesTom]

Hi! I deserialized my .sav file, i can open the .json, but when i try to load into PalEdit i have this error :

Python 3.10.10 "C:\Users\user\Downloads\PalEdit-main\PalEdit-main\" Opening file C:/Users/user/Downloads/palworld-save-tools-windows-v0.9.0/Level.sav.json Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1921, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "C:\Users\user\Downloads\PalEdit-main\PalEdit-main\PalEdit.py", line 123, in loadfile paldata = data['root']['properties']['worldSaveData']['Struct']['value']['Struct']['CharacterSaveParameterMap']['Map']['value'] KeyError: 'root' Opening file C:/Users/user/Downloads/palworld-save-tools-windows-v0.9.0/Level.sav.json Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1921, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "C:\Users\user\Downloads\PalEdit-main\PalEdit-main\PalEdit.py", line 123, in loadfile paldata = data['root']['properties']['worldSaveData']['Struct']['value']['Struct']['CharacterSaveParameterMap']['Map']['value'] KeyError: 'root'

I use :

PS C:\Users\user> python -V Python 3.10.10

Any idea of why i get this?

Thank's!

use Palworld-save-tools version 0.7.1 https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools/releases/download/v0.7.1/palworld-save-tools-windows-v0.7.1.zip

Same Issue, 0.7.1 didnt change anything

[Prequarantine]

Yes, palworld-save-tools updated in a way that no longer depends on uesave.exe. Therefore, this tool cannot use the newer version's output. I can confirm 0.8.X worked. The new save tools is much faster, uses less RAM, and results in a smaller filesize, so it is perhaps worth looking into whether or not the newer process can be supported instead of supporting something that could become deprecated as the game continues to receive updates.
