Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 Message Board  

start a new game in a new savegame slot, and you don't have to undo the changes, i just did to see if they would persist.

um....did you remember to add the file back into pak2.lp ? overwriting the old one?

only other thing i can think of is that i had no save slots in use when i created the new save slot (i deleted my old game)

note: changes i have successfully made
1)unlocking the existance of the two preorder saber crystals
2)unlocking the existance of the two preorder costumes
3)changing how much xp you start with
4)changing default starting difficulty
5)unlocking all cinematics, artwork, and database
6)unlocking and having available 2 of all saber crystals
7)unlocking and having available all the costumes
8)unlocking all campaign missions and challenges (not the "DLC" missions or challenges)
9) altering the max HP and Force recharge rate

note to the guy who edited cheat/holocron unlocks, unlocking them is just telling the game that they have been used...the act of getting them/using them is what activates their effects.

PM me if you would like a fully unlocked savegame where the campaign has been played through twice (first on hard for evil ending, second on unleashed for good ending), none of the challenges completed.

edit2: could one of the admins add that to the savegame list?

edit3: the save game WILL NOT give let you use the preorder/DLC stuff or the max health/force regen changes, those require a few other files to be edited and they have to stay edited

I've tried editing the file just like you said. But when i try to overwrite the file, it says "access is denied." What am I doing wrong?

well....access denied could mean a few things
possibilities are:
1) file is marked read-only
2) you are not the authorized "administrator"
3) file permissions aren't set correctly
4) you are trying to copy paste or something similar when you need to add file...slightly complicated, the instructions for the zip program being used help alot here

most likely if you are on your own computer is one of the first 3, also the first one is only really likely if you are using a warez version

note: I have the steam version, but that shouldn't make a difference.

edit:
so the basic procedure with 7zip would be
1) open pak2.lp as archive
2) find the file and extract (drag and drop) to desktop
2b) make a backup of this file so you can undo changes made
3) open file in notepad (ultraedit in my case)
4) make changes to file and save (if save fails here then the file is marked read only, simply uncheck the readonly box in properties
5) add file back into the archive, should be a simple drag and drop operation, it should ask you if you want to overright, say yes...it should then take 2-30 mins to rebuild the archive depending on your computer
6) play game have fun

File is located in LevelPacks\pak2.lp\Game\Disc\Runtime\ (when you open pak2.lp as archive). 7zip is free and good packaging program to do so. No need to buy winrar license for things like that unless you're pirate and do that illegal way.
