Are there any current Terraria save data editors that will work with the data I've dumped from my switch? The current data from the player .plr file makes my Terraria player editor go crazy. Something with the offset being out of bounds with the data view.

If someone decides to create this, then thank you very much!

If this isn't possible, could someone see to making a Builder's Workshop for Terraria on the switch? All of the builder's workshops that I download and inject into the game don't load correctly.

While no one has made a save editor yet, you can dupe items on the Switch with Checkpoint and NX Shell.
1. Put the items you want to dupe in your inventory
2. Backup the save with Checkpoint
3. Load the game and put the items into a chest
4. Backup the save again
5. In NX Shell, go to the Checkpoint directory and copy the "Players" folder from the oldest save to the newest.
6. Restore the newest save with Checkpoint.

When you load your game the items will be in your characters inventory and in the chest.

There is another way to dupe also.

1. Put items you want to dupe in a chest. Save + quit.
2. Re enter game, loot what you want inside that chest. Save + quit BUT....
This time press the home button when the game is saving the "world".
3. On the home screen, quit Terraria. Then enter back into the game.
4. You should have everything that you looted from the chest on you character plus still inside the chest.

This happens due to the game saving the character file first (instant) and then the world file takes 35 secs to 1.5+ min (depending on how big and explored your world is), the world never gets saved because the user dashboarded out. Note: no corruption occurs as it will only save over if the world completes it's save.

Easy

Duping is pretty easy, thank you.

How did you inject them to begin with?

Checkpoint

If not a save editor, maybe someone will upload a builder’s workshop for the switch version.

How do we transfer world's and players from PC to switch?

Currently, since the offset is different, Terraria on the NX will not even recognize the files are even injected. We'd need some sort of converter to transfer files from the PC version to the NX version. Once cross-play compatibility comes, hopefully the offsets will be the same and this problem will no longer exist, but until then... nothing. Check it out yourself, however. If you find something that allows you to do this, then great. I'd love to know.

Just use a new pc save mod it and add it into a to the player folder of a dumped save to get any item you want worked for me.

    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
