DarkWood Entity Editor Summary:
Key Features:
Profile Selection: The editor allows users to manually select game profiles from a dropdown before loading save files. Each profile represents a different save file within Darkwood. The dynamic save path is constructed based on the selected profile, ensuring flexibility and correct loading of the relevant save file.
Entity Editing: The editor enables viewing and editing of entity attributes such as name, ID, health, position, inventory, and stats. Users can select an existing entity from a dropdown populated with all entities found in the save file, and once selected, the entity’s details can be modified. The GUI provides fields for editing attributes, while the scrolling mechanism allows smooth navigation even when the window is resized or when there are many details to edit.
Adding New Entities: This feature easily adds new entities to the save file. It includes a dropdown menu to select from a list of predefined enemy or NPC names. Each new entity is generated with specific attributes, ensuring correct structure and unique IDs to prevent conflicts or duplication.
Smooth Scrolling and Resizing: The GUI supports smooth scrolling and dynamic resizing, ensuring that entity data is displayed neatly. When the window is maximized, the fields stretch to fill the available space, providing an improved user experience. A scrollable frame is implemented to navigate through larger sections of data, making it easier to edit entities with many attributes.
Automatic Save Handling: Upon selecting a profile and making changes to entities, the editor automatically updates the save path, ensuring that the changes are saved correctly without hardcoding the profile or file paths. This includes automatic save functionality, which eliminates the need for manual save confirmation, streamlining the editing process.
Additional Highlights:
Error Handling: The editor includes error messages to notify users if an entity is not found or if any issues arise during editing.
Dynamic Dropdown Updates: The dropdown for selecting entities updates dynamically when new save data is loaded, ensuring consistency with the current state of the game data.
Version Anyv5
*Resolved an issue where editing the save file could result in the protagonist having no hand slots if there were no items equipped. *Ensured that the hand slot count will not go below a minimum of 3. *Implemented changes to the Edit Generator feature, allowing for the editing of generator properties such as health, fuel, maxFuel, and more.
Version Anyv4
Fixed issues with the hand slot functions not updating properly. A save backup file is created automatically upon saving changes.
Version Anyv3
Version Update: Enhanced Combination Loading and Loot Editing New Features: Load Combinations: The editor now includes a feature to load all combinations from the saved data. Users can view combinations alongside their associated loot items in a scrollable window. Combinations with no loot are also displayed, clearly indicating their status.
Edit Loot Functionality: Users can now edit the loot associated with each combination directly from the combinations window. An "Edit" button next to each loot item allows users to open a dialog where they can update the item name. Changes are immediately reflected in the UI, providing instant feedback for a more intuitive editing experience.
User Instructions: Clear instructions are provided for editing loot, including steps for finding item names via the inventory_items Excel file, making the editing process user-friendly.
Text Enhancements: Combination names and details are now displayed in bold for better visibility, with an option to change fonts to Lucida Calligraphy, enhancing the visual appeal of the GUI.
Overall Improvement: These updates aim to streamline the user experience when managing loot within the Darkwood Save Editor, providing flexibility and ease of use for modding the game. Users are encouraged to explore these new features and share feedback for further enhancements.
NPC State Update Summary Loading NPC States: The load_npc_states() function retrieves NPC data from the save file and populates the UI. It searches for the npcStates key within the nested structure of the save data and displays each NPC's attributes, such as reputation and dead status.
Displaying NPC Data: The display_npc_states() function formats and presents NPC data in a scrollable frame. Each NPC's details are shown alongside editable fields for their reputation and dead status, along with a save button for updates.
Updating NPC Data: The save_npc_data() function allows users to update an NPC's reputation and dead status. When changes are made and saved, the updates reflect immediately in the UI.
Version Any
Use with any version of Darkwood.

Theme Music: All video game-inspired themes include their own music that plays automatically upon selection and loops. Controls: Play: Pauses music; press again to resume. Stop: Halts music; pressing Play after Stop restarts it. Hovering over the song name displays the composer(s) and release year.
