itch.io

sure, man. the designer was thoughtful  enough to leave several ways to easily find the save file folder. 

when you are playing just hit [esc] > [save/load]> [open folder]

then, if you havent already done so, save your game as "TEST" or whatever

there are several ways to open the file, I tend to just click on it then select plain old notepad to open the file.

I would say a fun way to start is CRTL-F, and search for the amount of gold you have. it is probably a unique number.

feel free to change it. now, within notepad, select "save as", hopefully it automatically directs you back to the folder w the saves.

the window will be unpopulated, so switch from "text files" to "all files". make sure your format is set to utf-8

click on your TEST sav file. it might overwrite it with a single click or you might have to click save.

close your Notepad  window (we can always open it again later)

go back to Strive4powa, go ESC >load> TEST

if successful you will see that the amount of gold is what you typed directly into the save. if you so much as added a space or broke the syntax flow in any way you will get an empty load where everything is gone OR an error message OR some other unwanted result.

if so, no worries. delete the TEST sav file and try again.

right now I am working on adding custom items/icons to the game by the save file alone.

want to see some advanced "code"? (below)

as you will see, I made two mistakes. I added speed boost twice AND one of the bags was owned by one of my party instead of waiting in the inventory. the system forgave me. it stacked the speed boosts and left the bag where it was. however, the character was NOT getting a bonus AND when I removed the bag I triggered the games onequip rules. in removing the bag I triggered negative stats to be 'added' to her stat mods. I chose to go back in and manually remove the negatives stats from the save file. and make some other fixes as well. just remember everytime you change something it is a learning experience that makes you stronger and smarter. good luck!
