Welcome to the Hellion Save Editor wiki!

Official Application forum can be accessed via the STEAM community. https://steamcommunity.com/app/588210/discussions/0/133262848294314205/

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft .NET 4.5.2
  • Newtonsoft.Json 10.0.1
  • A private Hellion server that you have access to the *.save files of

Installation

  1. Create a folder (any name will do) in the same folder that holds your Hellion save files.
    • Example: C:\SteamCMD\Hellion\SaveEditor\
  2. Copy HellionSaveEditor.exe, HellionData.dll, and Newtonsoft.Json.dll into the folder you created
  3. Make sure your Hellion Server is not currently running. Failing to do so will cause you to not edit the most recent save game
  4. Double-click HellionSaveEditor.exe

If everything goes as planned, it should start by telling you the name of the save file that it's loaded. If you get a message that it hasn't found a save file then you've most likely have it in the wrong location (it looks for *.save files in the parent directory)

When you quit out using the menu's, it will prompt you to save your changes. If you do, it will first make a backup of that save file just in case you need to revert.

Usage

Character Editing

You can choose the first option to list all the character names that it's found in the save game. Use option two to select the character you wish to edit. It will let you know if it's found it which will enable additional editing options The final third option will let you fill that players health up to the maximum.

Ship/Module Editing

The first option will let you list ships in the save game. It has a filter option to help limit the results. Use option two to select the module you wish to edit. It will let you know if it's found it which will enable additional editing options.

The editing options will let you:

  • Fill all the resource tanks (it will list what the current resources are before the fill)
  • Fix all the parts on the ship putting them up to their maximum health (it will list what the current health of the items before they get fixed)
  • Fix Room Air will set the Air Quality and Pressure of all the rooms
  • Fix Entire Outpost - This is used to run all the above fixes on your Outpost ship, and every child ship connected to it (so on and so forth)
  • Remove bad components - Will allow you to remove components below a definable health percentage either one 1 specific ship module, or every ship module on the whole server

Saving you changes

When you finally quit out of the editor, it will ask you if you want to save your changes. If you say Yes, it will make a backup of the original file and save your changes to disk
