Outputs to same format? #158

Closed mfa-usr closed 5 months ago

mfa-usr commented 5 months ago

I am attempting to use this on AC Black Flag/Freedom Cry and am not sure if I am using it correctly. When I open my file using the auto-detect it just saves a new file in its place of the same format. Is this the intended affect? I was hoping to find a tool that decrypts the save file and outputs a plaintext file so that I could edit the values. I read the readme but did not see anywhere what the actual intended effect of the tool is or output formats.

There is no way to outputs the save as plaintext, the save data are not in plaintext format at the first place.

What is it supposed to output to then? Just decoded binary? When I open the file, I just get a bunch of Chinese looking Unicode. How do I edit the save file?

Yes most stuffs are raw binary and can't be changed directly. There are some plaintext fields you can probably edit like player name. Also, this tool is not a save editor, all it can do is just changing the associated account id/game key.
