It's more complicated than I thought, with the character stats spread out in at least two different areas. I may just copy the battle data and cheat to change the rest, as I know the latter won't corrupt the game. My first attempt at this corrupted my file. There's so many lines of code in there, I'm not sure which all should be copied, e.g. what the heck is heraldric, and why does it have an entry (?). I'll have something working soon, though.

I may have to re-unlock the spirits, wife, and kids (I had four since I modded them) so I can find exactly where the spirits levels and whatnot go. Interestingly, the wife is considered an inventory item, which I should have realized from modding. I wonder if there's a cheatcode: item wife_feanora?

When I've tried to insert code into the save where I think it should go in a new game file, something seems to be going wrong. At least it's not hard to unlock the four spirits, and wives, if I have to do it that way.

EDIT: Vulture, I think I found at least a partial predictor of the error so it won't ever happen to me (and you) again. Looking at the save report of the corrupted file, the Actor Dragon Skaar was not in the file either. I would guess Haas' Labyrinth is missing too. Perhaps that dragon is a marker of this error? I remember now thinking, "what, no dragon cloak this game? That's weird."

Hooray! It appears that I transferred everything over to a new game flawlessly. I just wonder if I'll get a crash since I already have my spirits in the training center. Now, I'll just use the dev code to delete enemies in regions blocking my way and not pick up anything in any areas I had been to before. I doubt it will take long with a level 26 Mage to get through the obligatory battles.

EDIT 2: OK, it mostly worked. Giving myself the spirits did break them once I got the chest, permanently locking Zerock. I didn't bother checking the others. But I'm in Death Valley, and retro-edited myself out even the Turtle and Bogacho battles so my stats are identical to what they would've been in the corrupted game. I'm glad to be back where I was! I'm really looking forward to Karador.
