Hearts of Iron 3 Save game editor
Use on your own risk
You can edit your saved games with this program. I tested it with patch 1.2, but there can be sill
bugs.
1st tab:
1. Select your province database file (if you don't know which is it, try to figure out from the default value) .
2. Select the province layout image (if you don't know which is it, try to figure out from the default value).
3. Click to open, this will take some seconds (or minute), and will enable the "load" button.
4. Select the saved game you want to modify (if you don't know which is it, try to figure out from the default value).
This will also take same time.
2nd tab:
5. you can see a world map. If you click on a province, it will copied to the listbox on the bottom right.
6. If you hold down the "shift" key, you can select multiple provinces.
7. You can add a province by name if you type it to the text box and click "add"
8. you also able to zoom in and out the map. Use it, because if the zoom is too small, selecting a province will be
difficult
9. as a helper, the province under the mouse pointer is shown (id, name, colour code).
10. If you click "to grid", all selected province will be listed on the 3rd tab.
3rd tab:
You can modify the provinces properties, but aware of the format (see the shown values). Some values can only viewed.
This tool does not do range or value check, so be careful when writeing values. You can modify:
owner, controller, core,
points, manpower, leadership, nationalism
infra (max value), naval_base (max value), air_base (max value), anti_air (max value), industry (max value), land_fort (max value), coastal_fort (max value)
Clicking the "save" button will create the modified saved game. It's name will be: {original saved game name}.mod
This also will take some time.
new in 1.1:
speedup "To Grid" operation
fixed bad file ending
modification of infra, air_base, etc. modifies both current and max value
region is also displayed with province name (and owner/controller too)
holding down ctrl adds all provinces in the same region to the listbox
highlight clicked provinces (does not highlight provinces in the same region (ctrl added))
add core to visible in grid
province names fix reads it from localisation\province_names.csv
move map with cursor keys
ctrl+c ctrl+v support in grid
zoom no longer moves the map away
right click removes province from list (clears higlight)
clear country function (if all provinces of a country has been assingnes to another country it worked wrong). You have to manually
select "dead" countries (if a country was dead it will remain so, you don't have to take care about it, so not checking it
will make no problem)
some other small fixes
