It isn't impossible, but unlike OT and BD2, it would be a huge undertaking. The saved data have some differences in their data structure. It would require fully parsing all data from a switch save file and reorganizing it to the PC format. I tried a while ago, couldn't make sense of all of it, and gave up.

painful. Are there any repositories of semi-complete data around?

Hello! Just hopping in as I wanted to ask how progress on the PC version currently is.
I would love a simple mod someday to just remove the XP dampening to allow grinding if a player wants to.

@khuong, the recruitment and leveling are done via lua scripts. I modified the 1st chapter script to call the recruitment function for all characters. For certain characters, they were either at set levels (i.e. Anna at Level 2) or has a formula based on current level (i.e. Avlora is current level + 2) so I also updated that file to be entirely set at level 1. Compiled the lua scripts and utilized the Unreal Engine pak patching method.

@Dark_Ansem, no, this is just having everyone recruited at level 1 at the beginning of a fresh new game. The level edits I had made previously was just a test.

I've attached the save file (NG Hard).

I've also attached the mod file. If you want to test this, start a new game, wait until you are able to open the Roster screen, save, and remove the mod file. I suspect this will also work for PC versions. Maybe someone can try it out.
Could you please tell me how you work with .lub files? I tried to search for .lub decryption/ decompiling, tried "unluac" can decompile for example your script but not the scripts from the switch version and I'm completely lost at the .lub files from the PC version.
How do I decrypt them? @MarvinXLII, do you maybe know?

Current build is "9CB4490E8A718BAE" v1.1.0 and there seem to be no cheats out there for this build. I was hoping to revisit the game and work on some alternate paths, but I don't want to be held back by the gameplay at this time.

Anyone got some advice for me? Last build with cheats I found was "F7C20294EFF7E6FA"

So regarding the recruit everyone at level 1 mod at beginning. Is this functioning on PC (steam) do we just move the zip files to the game folder and it’s done? Sorry noob here

@Wtdragoon, I am unsure as I do not have the PC version. You are free to try it out and see if it works. Since this is the PC version, I am assuming that the .pak file will go into Triangle Strategy\Newera\Content\Paks\~mods

Let me know if that works.

Any idea if this save file works with the new Triangle Strategy update that happened?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
