Character editor don't work

[Trapaceiro]

When saving and replacing the FCH file, the character returns without any modifications, just reset.

Game version: 0.217.38 (n-20) Reference: http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/player-edit

Please, contact me on Discord, so I can look at the bug and identify the problem.

I sent a friend request. Sorry for delay.

Taking advantage, I will send the character FCH file that was generated by my game client at the link below. https://file.io/PdipSiUopLzK

Hello. Sorry, I received no invitation on Discord. My name with tag here is kirilloid#8246.

What I tried in terms of bug search.

I have found several minor bugs, but none of them were like "character editor completely doesn't work". Specifically I have found (and fixed, but haven't updated code on my site yet):

• character creation date is saved incorrectly. This is a hidden field not checked currently, but this could lead to errors later.
• for freshly created character w/o any skill acquired, skill list is empty

confusing problems

There were 2 bugs, which might look like the problem you described, but actually are "overcomeable".

• Chrome blocks downloads from non-https ("unsecure") site, but this could be overridden
• Sometimes opening another character file w/o refreshing tab might lead to interface stuck with some previous values, I'm not sure which parts exactly are affected, will investigate further myself

testing real-life scenario

I tried your file on my site and was able to change hair color and styles. Please, try again your scenario and write down what you're doing (e.g.: load file, switch to skills tab, change skill level, save). If the editor won't work, please reply with posting those steps here.

Hello, these are the steps I followed....

1 - I created a character in my game client with this appearance:

2 - Then I moved the file to local storage, selected it from the website already in player edit (http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/player-edit). And I made the following changes:

3 - Without modifying any other option, I clicked to save and download the file.

But by replacing the original file which I modified on the website. My character doesn't have the expected changes... See the screenshot when loading through the game client:

Note: If I upload the modified file to the website again, it tells me it is modified exactly as I made it. But in the game client, it isn't.

Oh, it looses its hair styles completely. Seems like saving is working wrong.

Yes, in other tests, I also changed just the skin tone and it didn't work.

Hello, I have fixed the bug and deployed new version.

The problem was with what I have found previously:

character creation date is saved incorrectly

resulting in the error while reading the file by the game: Player.log

03/18/2024 23:10:51: Exception while loading player profile:test , System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Valid values are between -62135596800 and 253402300799, inclusive. Parameter name: seconds

Also the tool now can identify and one-click fix previously incorrectly saved files

The fix itself: https://github.com/kirilloid/valheim/commit/1d191e41287432f9b1ee04fbfa5c6bab0912ad59#diff-fc23856ed5214320cdae702b3eb399db91b45f288eb995f13f72cb825574ba76R206 Stupid mistake, but JavaScript uses milliseconds as the base for date-time measurements, unlike seconds in .net

Please, try the new version and consider closing the issue if it's fixed.

Hello, it seems to work perfectly now. Thank you very much for all the tools made available directly on the web.
