Slim's Editor

A savegame editor for the Ratchet and Clank games, written in Python, using Dear ImGUI via Bimpy for the frontend.

Slim's Editor allows you to read and change any (known) value of a RaC savegame. This can also include values that are not exposed by the game itself.

Always backup your savegames before loading them into Slim's Editor.

This project is currently in a inactive and unfinished state. Since starting this, I haven't had much time to work on getting beyond the very basics of the editor. If Slim's Editor doesn't work for your savegame, you can try the previous version of the editor to see if that helps. Feel free to submit Pull requests with new features/values/fixes/etc.

Installation / Usage

For Windows, get the prebuilt versions from the Releases tab on GitHub. Simply unzip the release, and run slimseditor.exe.

For Linux (package names are for Debian/Ubuntu):

Install python3 python3-dev python3-venv build-essential. Install zenity (or kdialog if you are on KDE).

git clone https://github.com/maikelwever/slimseditor
cd slimseditor
python3 -m venv env
env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
env/bin/python setup.py develop
env/bin/python -m slimseditor

Adding savegame items

Savegame item positions are defined by .json files in slimseditor/game. For prebuilt editions, these files are bundled with the application data.

To submit new items, or change existing item definitions, simply edit the appropriate lines in the .json files. The editor will re-read the .json files every time you open a savegame or click a refresh button.

If you are working with a prebuilt edition, you can create a folder called game in the directory slimseditor.exe is in. The editor will then search for game files in this directory instead. To get started with this, download the .json file for the game you're editing from GitHub, and put it in your new game folder.

Roadmap

Wishlist of features to port from the previous editor or add new:

• PS3 savegame decryption and proper re-encryption.
