The champions amiibo rewards is ready?

Nope, they aren't, but the placeholders for them do show on the tool already though.

Exactly.
Just add them to your savegame and post here their real names after checking them in-game.

This is how these new items are named in-game:

-Vah Ruta Divine Helm
-Vah Medoh Divine Helm
-Vah Rudania Divine Helm
-Vah Naboris Divine Helm

Hi, I'm new here and would like to thank everyone involved for the exceptional work done for this editor. It has been so helpful for me.
I was adding the new amiibo helms to my save game and I wanted to document what I found when adding them
181 Vah Ruta Divine Helm = Swim Speed Up
182 Vah Medoh Divine Helm = Cold Resistance
183 Vah Rudania Divine Helm = Flame Guard
184 Vah Naboris Divine Helm = Shock Resistance
186-189 Vah Ruta = 1 through 4 stars
190-193 Vah Medoh = 1 through 4 stars
194-197 Vah Rudania = 1 through 4 stars
198-199 Vah Naboris = 1 and 2 stars
It seems there is a missing 200 and 201 for Vah Naboris 3 and 4 star helms or perhaps I missed it. The helmet does upgrade to both the 3 and 4 star versions so the code should be there. In case it might help, I've attached a rar of my save games one with 3 star helm and the other with a 4 star. I'm not sure if that's helpful to you, but I felt a need to give back to the community that has really improved my enjoyment of this great game.

Thank you :-) I'll try to get the update up today.

Tried following the steps that @DrScottie suggested and can confirm that it works already.

Thanks.

Any way to enable/disable Master Mode from a save file?

Any way to enable/disable Master Mode from a save file?

Why?
Master mode is only available if you have the dlc, why would you want to do that? Maybe find and delete the save files (6 and 7 ?) and see what happens. keep a backup!

So in short, I want to convert a normal savefile into a master mode savefile, and I have the DLC. I don't want to start over again. I'm already 100 hours in.

I believe there are 2 extra save slots, those 2 are reserved for master mode. So if you would start a master mode game, save the game, then extract your saves on your PC, you could move your normal save into the master mode save game slot, then import back to the WiiU.

But I could be wrong, I remember I did this before, but I cannot remember clearly exactly how I did it. So before you modify anything, make sure you backup all of your BOTW saved games.

I can confirm this works, but for some reason the amiibo functionality and the hero tracker does not work correctly.

Hey this might sound like a stupid question but how do i put the game_data.sav file back into the Wii U after i have edited it?

Literally the same way you took the savefile out of the Wii U.

 

[FunkyPixie]

wait saviine can do that.... How?

 

[wolf-snake]

there should be an Inject.bat file on your saviine folder, just make sure you have the savefile you want to inject on the correct folders which should be saviine_root/Inject/*Game Title ID*

Error "Invalid savegame file"
BotW v 1.3.4

Guess the editor needs another update? :/ Guess I'm stupid, didn't realize my browser was the issue. Just gotta find out how to clear offline storage from chrome...

I tried downgrading before I realized what was wrong. Here are the steps for those interested.

Spoiler: Spoiler: Downgrade Zelda BotW

Beware! This will give you access to critical files in the WiiU. Mistakes may lead to a bricked console

Preparations
1. Get FTPiiU
2. Get FTPiiU Everywhere
3. Get a FTP client on your computer (eg. filezilla or WinSCP, the latter i what I used)
4. Remove BotW update data in system data management (WiiU system menu, don't remove game data, saves or DLC)
5. Install your desired update (in this case 1.3.3/144)

Running it all
1. Run FTPiiU Everywhere
2. Run your FTP client (the IP address and port to connect to will be displayed)
3. Connect to your console using your FTP client (use anonymous login, unencrypted connection and port 21)
4. Navigate to /storage_slc/security/
5. Copy "versions.bin" to your computer
6. Open versions.bin with a Hex Editor like HxD
7. Find and replace the version number and the other 2 byte that's different (see A0 and 20 25 below)
8. Replace versions.bin on the WiiU with the one you just edited.
9. Disconnect and return to the system menu.
10. Profit

Depending on version and your region you'll have to replace different values
v1.3.3 = 144 = 90 in hex
v1.3.4 = 160 = A0 in hex

00 05 00 0E 10 1C 93 = JPN
00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 = USA
00 05 00 0E 10 1C 95 = EUR <- My installed version so this line is a bit different

BEFORE

Address     Values
0001C960    00 05 00 0E 10 1C 93 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 A0
0001C970    00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 A0
0001C980    00 05 00 0E 10 1C 95 00 00 00 20 25 00 00 00 A0

AFTER

Address     Values
0001C960    00 05 00 0E 10 1C 93 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 90
0001C970    00 05 00 0E 10 1C 94 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 90
0001C980    00 05 00 0E 10 1C 95 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 90

Figured out what I needed to do, see below.

Spoiler: Clear offline storage in Google Chrome

My issue were as supposed the need to clear offline storage. However chrome has changed and the current method of fixing this is:

Chrome 64-bit Version 62.0.3202.94

1. Go to the BotW Editor website
2. Right click the website
3. Choose "inspect element" or just "inspect"
Now the developer frame will pop up
On top of the frame there are multiple tabs.
4. Navigate to the tab "Application"
Now you will see a menu on the left side in the developer frame.
5. Go to "Clear Storage"
6. Scroll down and press "Clear Site Data"
7. Close the developer frame.
8. Reload the website.
