*Rages* Need help editing savefile to fix a bug.

[Crim, The Red Thunder]

Down to my last life, second character to clear dreadfell. Last one had Anorithil unlock bug out on them. Currently, 2 floors away from getting east to earn it. Unfortunately, RC3 has a bug with dark portal. There's a rare that has dark portal more or less standing on the **** stairs. All attempts at digging through walls, or sneaking around it have failed. Everytime it comes in sight, it makes 1 action, and regardless of outcome on next turn, enters a infinite chain of casting dark portal 10 million times a turn, generating infinite lua errors.

Yes, I know this bug is fixed in RC4, but I can't import the savefile, because I made it using an addon for RC3, and broken validation will break the achievement and unlocks with it. I just need this one rare removed from the floor so I can travel past it's location to the stairs.

Help? Either forcing some means of compatibility to import to RC4 (With outdated addon version) without breaking validation/activating cheat mode, or a means of removing the unique, without activating cheat mode?

If it matters, the addon is infinte500, though I don't think that does matter...

I take it that cheating to simply give yourself the unlock directly is out of the question?

I... you could probably hit T4 over the head with a memory editor (Cheat Engine, etc.) really hard and temporary hack your stats high enough to one-shot the critter. Junkload of global speed (assuming you've got some way of changing that so the editor can identify what variable that is) and whatever primary stat(s) you're using, then a high enough light radius you can see/act before it does and splat th'critter. Alternately, if you've got any AoE damage you could just murder it from around a corner once your damage multiplier is in the thousands or whatever.

More than that, you'd have to ask someone else. I have no bloody idea how to mess with the save files.

Yes, unlocking directly would actually be cheating. Fixing/working around a bug, I don't mind. Ideally I would've liked to have just removed said rare from existence of level. Corners didn't exist anywhere NEAR the bloody thing, it was basically standing in a4 way intersection but far enough to the middle that it could see a LONG way down all those halls. And the staircase was in one of them. I even tried digging around to find the stairs or some way around it. That didn't work out either.

All kinda a moot point now, given V1's release.... Guess I end up getting Anorithil on another run... That unlock hates me. It REALLY hates me.

Thanks anyway folks.

You should be able to load your RC3 character into 1.0.0 with the version 1.7 I500 addon without breaking validation. To make sure, I just created a character in RC3, and reloaded it in V1 with I500 and everything appeared to validate correctly.

I was not aware that the game would allow 'updating' of addon's to occur. This worked, and my problem was solved! Thank you!
