Dungeon Souls Save Edit, Part 2

After hacking away at the character safe information, I wanted to take a crack at understanding the weapons system.

In ~/Libaray/Application Support/com.yoyogames.macyoyorunner there’s a grip of files realted to the Arcane Forge.

In order to give ourselves items we want to look at arc_frg_itm.ds.

This is a list of numbers which corresponds to various weapons. The breakdown is:

Number	Item
0	Barbarian’s Axe (Barbarian’s default)
1	Viking’s Axe (Viking’s() default)
2	Archer’s Bow (Archer’s default)
3	Viper (Ranger’s() defualt)
4	Thief’s Knife (Thief’s default)
5	Rouge’s Knife (Rouge’s() default)
6	Warrior’s Sword (Warrior’s default)
7	Knight’s Sword (Knight’s() default)
8	Wizard’s Staff (Wizard’s default)
9	Archmage’s Staff (Archmage’s() default)
10	Cleric’s Staff (Cleric’s default)
11	Paladin’s Staff (Paladin’s() default)
12	Necromancer’s Scepter (Necromancer’s default)
13	Raven’s Staff (Raven’s() default)
14	Nightblade’s Scepter (Nightblade’s default)
15	Destroyer’s Hammer (Destroyer’s() default)
16	Brawler’s Mace (Brawler’s default)
17	Naginata (Duelist’s() default)
18	Engineer’s Wrench (Engineer’s default)
19	Mechanic’s Wrench (Mechanic’s() default)
20	Fire Sword
21	Fire Staff
22	Fire Dagger
23	Fire Axe
24	Fire Scepter
25	Fire Bow
26	Ice Sword
27	Ice Dagger
28	Ice Staff
29	Ice Scepter
30	Ice Bow
31	Ice Axe
32	Poltergeist Bow
33	Poltergeist Dagger
34	Poltergeist Staff
35	Ninby’s Grace
36	Maps back to 15
37	Murderer’s Ring

When supplying numbers outside this range you can crash the game. I could not get consistent behavior on the crash. One time it was an index out of range, another time it was indexing an object that wasn’t indexible.

When it handles bad values correctly it defaults them to the Barbarian’s Axe.

We notice there’s some interesting characters mentioned that aren’t in the game. There’s the Viking, Viper, Rogue, Knight, Archmage, Paladin, Raven, Destroyer, Duelist, and Mechanic. Their default weapons can be seen below with a bunch of Murderer’s Rings.

From what I can tell it looks like they will be an upgraded version of the base version of each character.
