Ni No Kuni (US) Save Modification

I wanted to report my findings and get a thread going to see if other people are interested in the inner workings of Ni No Kuni. Ever since dabbling with Pokemon I've been fascinated by save file editing and what you can do. In this thread I will talk about what I've figured out on my own and hopefully there are others out there willing to pitch in to figure out the structure of the Ni No Kuni save files.

To begin, let me acknowledge that this requires absolutely no modifications to the PS3, or other third party products. It has been done on my completely vanilla set up with a fair amount of ease. I will be as detailed as possible so it's easy to follow.

Requirements
  • Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (Should work on NA and EU versions)
  • FAT32 formatted USB drive for transffering saves
  • A PC running Windows (I have not found software that works on other systems)
  • Bruteforce Save Data 2.3.4
  • Basic knowledge of hex editing
  • Make sure to create back ups of your save so you have something to fall back on if things go wrong
Downloads
I have only used one program in editing my save, and that is the wonderful Bruteforce Save Data found on Aldostools. Get the latest version from their site here, or download the version I'm using via this mediafire mirror (only doing this for posterity in case in the future the tool is hard to find.)

Note about installing Bruteforce Save Data: When you unpack the rar containing the installer, it will have a warning below the installer saying something like, "IMPORTANT - You must add your console_id to global.conf". You can safely ignore this for the purposes of this guide, decrypting should work either way.​

Getting the Save Ready
Step 1. Get your saves on the PC for editing. This is done very easily, as long as you have a FAT32 formatted thumb drive for your PS3. As I found out, PS3s apparently don't read NTFS thumb drives - I could be wrong, but formatting it to FAT32 fixed this for me, so you're going to need to make sure you have one properly set up or you're out of luck.

Plug your thumb drive into your PS3, go to Games > Saved Data Unity on XMB, select your Ni No Kuni save and hit Triangle, then go to Copy and from there select your USB drive. Once finished, eject your USB drive and plug it in to your computer.

Step 2. Your save should be located within PS3 > SAVEDATA inside a folder that looks something like BLUS30947_0000X. We're going to need the entire BLUS30947_0000X folder, so copy it. Make a back up of it for safe keeping somewhere far away from your working folder. Once backed up, paste the save into an empty folder on your computer. For reference, my hierarchy looks like this:

Step 3. Load up Bruteforce Save Data, and point it to your working folder.

Now we need to get the Key for the save file. To do this, right click the save and go to 'Bruteforce...'

From here, we need to decrypt the save file to make it editable, so select your save, then go to Decrypt PFD > Decrypt All Files

Click 'Yes' if prompted. The area on the lower left should now be green, this means that it's ready to go.

Step 4. To edit the file, double click on SYS-DATA in the green box.

This should open the file for editing in a portable version of HxD. If you prefer to use your own hex editor, you can open SYS-DATA in that program now. Otherwise, if you haven't already, follow the prompts to allow HxD to run as a portable application. When finished you should be presented with the HEX to edit.
Making Changes

I haven't done much poking around yet, I will update this thread as I learn more. For now, here are some pointers and structures I've worked out (forgive me if the information is presented in a novice fashion).

Note about offsets: Offsets are not always static. The following should be taken as loose pointers and NOT absolute offsets. It's best to have some knowledge about hex editing before proceeding.​
Save Structure

The save structure is set up in blocks. The blocks begin with the hex delimiter 0xFFFE, followed by a unique one byte identifier that determines what the block contains, and end at 0xFEFF. The blocks are sometimes nested within each other.

The first block begins immediately at 0x00, and all followed blocks are nested within this one. After the first block there appears to be a bunch of junk that I haven't figured out the significance of yet.

I haven't discerned each block type yet, but here's what I know so far:
  • 1B - Inventory
  • 0A - Non-Familiar Character
  • 0D - Familiar
  • 04 - Not entirely sure, but contains Guilders
Guilders

The guilders offset starts 24 bytes before the sequence FE FF FF FE 80. To find it, do a search that looks like this:

rFaWZG5.png

Hitting OK should take you to the sequence. This sequence should only appear once, so it's a safe bet to look for it. You should now be looking at this:

ZB80Oau.png

From here, count 24 bytes backward. Note: Length is in hex, so 18 is actually 24 in hex.

The next 4 bytes are your guilders, as highlighted below:

Guilders is 4 bytes long, capping at 05F5E0FF (99999999G).



Oliver-Related

Oliver's Name: 0x00017D35
Oliver's Level: 0x00017D5A (byte)
Oliver's Experience: 0x00017D55 (4 bytes - I believe)
Oliver Current HP: 0x00017D5B (2 bytes)
Oliver Max HP: 0x00017D5D (2 bytes)
Oliver Current MP: 0x00017D5F (2 bytes)
Oliver Max MP: 0x00017D61 (2 bytes)
Oliver Attack: 0x00017D64 (byte)
Oliver Defense: 0x00017D66 (byte)

Note about experience: Experience is reset to 0 on level up. If you set your experience to something really high, you'll only ever level up one level at the end of a battle. You'll still get the experience from the battle, but the excess experience you had before vanishes.​

Character Structure

For lack of a better name, the character structure is what holds information on non-familiars. They are stored in 846 byte structures (not including block begin/end delimiters). More appear to be added to the save as the game progresses, not all the characters are available in the save immediately.

0x00 - Block ID (always 0A for character)​
0x0E-0x11 - Character ID​
0x12-? - Name (not entirely sure how long at the moment, null terminated)​
0x32-0x35 - Experience Points​
0x37 - Level​
0x39 - Current HP​
0x3B - Max HP​
0x3D - Current MP​
0x3F - Max MP​
0x41 - Attack​
0x43 - Defense​
0x45 - Magic Attack​
0x47 - Magic Defense​
0x49 - Evasion​
0x4B - Accuracy​


Familiar Structure

Familiars are stored in a 430 byte structure (not including block begin/end delimiters).

0x00 - Block ID (always 0D for familiar)​
0x0A-0x0B - Position in Bag​
0x0C-0x0D - Order Caught (?)​
0x0E-0x11 - Familiar ID​
0x12-0x22 - Name (null terminated)​
0x32-0x35 - Experience Points​
0x37 - Level​
0x41 - Attack​
0x43 - Defense​
0x45 - Magic Attack​
0x47 - Magic Defense​
0x49 - Accuracy​
0x4B - Evasion​
0xA2-0xB9 - Currently Set Skills (4 bytes per skill ID, includes Attack and Defend)​
0xBA-0xC4 - Stats of familiar during metamorphose (before being reset to 1, 2 bytes for each stat)​
0xC6-0xD0 - Grow 1 Stats (2 bytes for each stat, affects how much a stat increases on level up, the higher the better)​
0xD2-0xDC - Grow 2 Stats (same as above)​
0xE2 - Sign​
0x106-0x107 - Fullness​
0x10C - Familiarity​
0x10E-0x?? - Learned Skills (4 bytes per skill ID)​

It's easiest to locate the data relative to the name of your familiar. Start by searching for the name of the familiar you wish to edit, in plain text. I've highlighted the values for each familiar below.

S4ernrp.png

Note about experience: Experience is reset to 0 on level up. If you set your experience to something really high, you'll only ever level up one level at the end of a battle. You'll still get the experience from the battle, but the excess experience you had before vanishes.​

Fullness works in thousands (decimal), starting at 0 (empty). Each thousand represents one face. The values are as follows:
  • 00 00 - 0
  • 03 E8 - 1,000
  • 07 D0 - 2,000
  • 0B B8 - 3,000
  • 0F A0 - 4,000
  • 13 88 - 5,000
  • 17 70 - 6,000
  • 1B 58 - 7,000
  • 1F 40 - 8,000
  • 23 28 - 9,000
  • 27 10 - 10,000
If you want your familiar's fullness to be empty, set it to 00 00. Familiarity ranges from 00 - 05, 05 being full hearts and 00 being none.

Inventory Structure

I have a loose understanding of this, but thanks to the help of a Japanese wiki for the Japanese version of the game I have at least managed to work a few things out.

The Inventory starts at 0x00007D08 as far as I can tell. The structure is as follows:

4 bytes - Item Type (ID)
3 bytes padding
1 byte - Position of Item in Category
1 byte padding
1 byte - Number of Item in Inventory

To illustrate this:

Getting the Save Back on the PS3
Step 1. Save your modified file.
LxTJbYp.png


Step 2. Switch back to Bruteforce Save Data, and re-encrypt your save by clicking Encrypt PFD > Encrypt All Files

AZjhof2.png


Step 3. The green box on the left should be white again if everything went OK. The file is now encrypted again, ready for the PS3. Go to your working folder and copy the entire save folder

8vK95rG.png


Paste it back on to your USB drive in the PS3 > SAVEDATA folder, overwriting the one already on there.

Step 4. Go back to your PS3, put in the USB drive. Go to Games > Save Data Utility > USB Drive, go to your modified save and press Triangle, then go to Copy. It should warn you about over writing the existing save, so again, make sure you have a backup. Over write the existing save with your modified one.

Step 5. Load Ni No Kuni and verify the modifications have taken effect.

As for the inventory editor, i decrypted the files like it says but when i go to load the SYS it says an Unhanded exception has occurred in your application
Apparently due to Object reference not set to an instance of an object

It doesn't seem like you use Bruteforce Save Data to decrypt your file.
It's like that whenever you don't. So you have to use it.

EDIT
Trying to open an encrypted save will result in an unhandled exception for now, I might fix this later if I ever decide to update this.​

According to the brute force thing though the files were decrypted >.<

So i must be doing something wrong during the decryption process

Decided to download and reinstall the bruteforce again, and it now works :)

Hi, maybe this can help on the structure analysis:
Just wanted to add I don't think all blocks are variable length and end in FEFF

This is the start of my savefile.
I think blocks F1 and F3 seems to be fixed size (so, no FEFF terminator) and F2 is variable size (so, FEFF terminator)






@Supercool:
You think it possible to rip the whole Character/Familiar db out of the decrypted data files?
Or are those tables more likely stored in the program than a data file?

It would be cool to make a web based database with all info of learnable skills, which lvls, max lvl for a especies, stats for each lvl, etc.

There's a primitive DB on one of the faqs in GameFaqs, but I reckon this way would be easier than checking one on one :)

Addition to Character/Familiar Structure

Off 0x0c Position in save.
Follows the same rule as Inventory, low 4 bits are type, grows by 0x10
type 0 for chars,
type 1 for familiars

e.g:

Oliver 0x00
Drippy 0x10
Esther 0x20
Rashaad 0x30
...

Familiars (For some reason, it's not sorted in the same order you got them)
1st 0x01
2nd 0x11
3rd 0x21
.....

Stored familiars doesn't seem to have a different store in the save, they are immediately next to party familiars
e.g, In my case I've got 5 familiars in the party,
1st stored 0x51
2nd 0x61
...

Any reason why the program from gimmestuff keeps saying it's not a valid win32 application? is it because im running on Xp?
It's because it's using a new .NET Framework (4.5 if i recall right) which is not compatible with XP.
I'm facing the same issue, the author must recompile it with dependecies set to 3.5 or 4.0, which is the latest compatible one.
Plus, v4.5 doesn't really add impressive stuff, so no need to use it.

So i'm asking to gimmestuff, can you please recompile your app to framework v4.0 ?
This way, us, XP users can enjoy your tool, thanks.

WARNING

This is a heads up, I used gimmestuff02's incredible program maybe 30 times tonight and have found a few things that cause the game (well my game) to glitch.

Treats set max 80
Provisions set max 80
Familiar Tickets set max 80 but only ONE FAMILIAR used at a time
Growth Items set max 80
Accessories set max 80
Ingredients set max 80
Armor set max 12
Weapons set Max 9

For best results. I was getting a lot of DUPE items when I was doing 99s instead of one set (99) of each.
I set up two familiar tickets at 99 apiece and it duped it to be two sets (99) of griffy which kept freezing my game whenever I would look at stats.

I highly suggest only doing the modding ONCE per save I found the glitches more common after each modification.
I was very disappointed in my self for causing these problems with being over zealous. Use with caution and care.
Just my two cents so no one has the same terrible discovery of a fully corrupted save file due to unfixable cheats.

So, uh...I think I did something wrong. I edited my save to give myself all the "exclusive" familiar tickets, but only one of them worked like it should. I used it and that was that. The rest, however, stayed in my inventory after using them and some had a zero in the amount in-bag. I managed to edit the save to delete them from my inventory and everything was fine for a while until later when several different items won't disappear. They have zero in the quantity display and they can't be moved or sold. In addition, the inventory has one or two blank spaces in it.

I'd appreciate any help. Everything else is working as it should, other than those items and blank spaces. (I can upload the code if needed.)

How to edit Familiars bonus stats (growth stats):

From the start of the familiar (explained on the first page, the 0D byte) go to these offsets:
Notes:
  • They are only 1 byte long.
  • Feeding them treats will reset them to the max if you've given them more than 50.
  • They do not reset when your familiar levels (not sure about evolution though, but i assume it won't)
(Give FF for 255)
Stat - Offset (from 0D) - size
Attack - EA - 1 byte
--3 byte spacing
Defence - EE - 1 byte
--3 byte spacing
Magic attack - F2 - 1 byte
-- 3 byte spacing
Magic defence - F6 - 1 byte
-- 3 byte spacing
Evasion - FA - 1 byte
-- 3 byte spacing
Accuracy - FE - 1 byte

Ill just put these here..... Since bits are being pulled from "other" sources

All Items
Here is every item you can ever get. -See Attach File
Copy and use HXD Paste Write function to utilize this
Make sure your offset is at 7D04
You will know if you do it right if in HXD the last red you see is at offset 9E43.

Also I will add this.

Familiar Trophy
You want the Familiar Trophy. I added that too See Attached
Copy and use HXD Paste Write function to utilize this
Make sure your offset is at 6CF7

To trigger This trophy just collect one familiar either with

Esther or Redeem a ticket at Solomon

Lastly I leave you with these three things

All Stamps Redeemed Trophy
Offset 067C
Put a 02
Offset 067D
Put a 26

This will give you enough points to earn the trophy. revert back to your original number after spending all the points to continue collecting stamps on Bounties/Errands if you want.

2000 Orbs
Offset 4552
Put a 07
Offset 4553
Put a CD

Collect 1-3 orbs and it will trigger

1000 Fights
Offset 4556
Put a 03
Offset 4557
Put a E5

Finish 1-3 fights and it will trigger

hey bud, if you notice its been duping items, think the treats you will have two of one item and missing another same with ingredients instead of a few of all

EntItThough: You have a back-up, right?

Don Killah: Yes on the FIRST page.

I didnt, I had the modded file with hours on it but didnt back it up after each mod addition so I lost time when the file messed up.
Any inventory searching freezes the ps3
