🌸 NAME 🌸

arxsavetool β€” literally the tool that lets you peek inside and mess with Arx Libertatis save files. inspect them, modify them, slay πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

arxsavetool <action> <savefile> [<options>...]

that's the whole vibe. you pick an action, you point it at a savefile, and then whatever extra options you want go after. no cap 🫢


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so arxsavetool is a tool for inspecting and modifying save files of the first-person role-playing game Arx Libertatis (yes, the whole game, we're in there 😌).

here's what it can do, bestie:

  • extract individual files from save file containers πŸ’–
  • re-pack them back in πŸ”₯
  • list all the info chillin' inside save files 🌈
  • fix some errors caused by broken versions of the game 😭

it's giving "save file surgeon" and honestly? obsessed.


πŸ‘‘ ACTIONS πŸ‘‘

these are your main character choices, pick one:

  • extract β€” extracts all the files in the save file container straight into the current directory. this action takes no further options. zero, nada, that's it πŸ’…
  • add β€” adds additional files to a save file container. every extra parameter you put after the save file container gets interpreted as a file to add. it's giving "drop it in the bag" πŸ‘œβœ¨
  • fix β€” fixes errors in the save file caused by broken versions of Arx Libertatis. lowkey important: you don't need this if you never ran development versions of arx. so if that's not you, you can skip it 🫢 this action takes no further options.
heads up bestie: this one requires data.pak, data2.pak and the graph directory to be in the current directory. no files, no fix, periodt πŸ’€
  • view β€” lists information contained in the save file. without any additional arguments it just lists all level files contained. you can also specify an individual save file after the save file container to display it's contents πŸ‘€
and this one requires loc.pak to be in the current directory. don't forget it πŸ™ˆ
