(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); You need two things:

-Hashtab
-BruteCRC32

Get HashTab from [You must login or register to view this content.] and right click an original file that is unedited and get its CRC32 hash, write it down / copy and paste it into notepad.

Edit the file with all your DVARS, save it, and look at the new hash, it's different. That's where BruteCRC32 comes in.
(The DVARS are all in the Console MP log. You must login or register to view this content.)

Download BruteCRC32 from [You must login or register to view this content. and open it, and then point it to the file you edited, and force it to have the CRC that you copy and pasted / wrote down earlier.

The program will appear to freeze, but it's just doing its job. Leave it alone, and you have an "original" save to use!

If anything needs to be cleared up, ask.

Example, let's say I was just editing GPAD0_MP.

You must login or register to view this content.
Using Hashtab I see the original CRC hash.
I then edit it, and get a different one below:

Then I use BruteCRC32 to "force" the new hash to become the old one, like it was never edited. See?

nice Ill look into this, but I would imagine the cvars would work if you just edit them in, not totally sure.
Also have you actually tried using the modded gamesave?

I just used some modded dvars and placed them in the file and then re-applied and patched the hash and I WAS ABLE TO COPY MY GAME SAVE OVER TO MY PS3 FINE AND THE GAME DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY ERRORS!

I just dont know if the modded values worked so this is close.

Can you tell me what DVARs you used? I'm trying this aswell...


Hopefully, NGU will be the first to crackk it!Smile^

so would you add the dvars to the CM or what?

For Singleplayer, you'd add them to the SAVEGAME.SVG.
For Multiplayer, who knows, MP would probably be where to go.
