Feature Request: Make attributes editable #8

Closed FoxThorne closed 4 years ago

Hello, thanks for this editor; it's been a life-saver. I was wondering why the attributes cannot be edited directly from the pane where they are displayed once a save game is loaded? I am not a programmer, so I couldn't being to conceive what would be needed to facilitate this functionality in the GUI... but I did do a bit of the legwork if you're interested.

It's (relatively) easy to open the Character Tree and navigate to the section where the attributes are stored and modify their values. Currently, can be done by pressing CTRL+T and navigating to:

children
  node[id=PlayerUpgrade]
    children
      node[id=Attributes]
        attribute[id=Object] // There are 6 of these listed, one for each base attribute.
          value="10"        // The number here will vary, dependant on your characters current actual stat.

Or, and alternate view if it's easier to understand:

children | node[id=PlayerUpgrade] | children | node[id=Attributes] | attribute[id=Object] | value="10"

Under attribute[id=Object] you'll see three lines:

id="Object" // Don't know what this does.
value="X"  // Changing this value, changes the state once saved.
type="4"  // Don't know what this does.

Editing value="X" to whatever you want the stat to be. Note: "X" will be a number, whatever your character currently has for that attriute, e.g. 10, 16, 20, whatever.

The first 6 entries (all named node[id=Attributes]) listed under

children | node[id=PlayerUpgrade] | children |

are (in order):

E.g. If you want your Strength stat at 20, you'll go to the first node[id=Attributes] in the list and edit value="X" to 20. If you want your Memory stat at 18 you'll go to the 5th *node[id=Attributes] down, and edit value="X" to 18.

So, anyone wanting to know the easiest method (that I have found) to alter attributes, there you have it. If we could work this into the GUI of the Save Editor, that would be wonderful.

Hello, it is already possible to edit attributes by clicking the icon next to the value of each attribute. Atttributes

Maybe the icons are not visible depending on the OS colors/theme. I don't know how the UI looks in other systems than mine.

Well, I feel like a complete dope. You're absolutely correct, it was my Windows theme making the icons not visible.

Thanks very much!
