How to Mod Borderlands on Xbox 360

[lennyirl]

nice tut, I may be getting this game and look into it, but just one question.
If I mod my charater(for lots of money+xp) we'll say.
will i be able to use this in co-op play?

Yes but just to be safe don't go over level 50.

That depends on what you cal proper XD. My guns arent invisible and they work farely well. Im just trying to combine different things to make a powerfull gun. XD if i can make "The Dove" have that burst fire and more damage then that thing would be beast.

[360Zone]

I mean being able to have a program and say "I want an SMG with 3000 damage etc" and it will do it for you.

[turk645]

ah. That is in theory easy if i continue to break down guns. Also i think i solved the item grade thing. The title of a weapon doesnt do much i think. Despite having the dove title i dont have infinte ammo so i might have to mod the itemgrade to the dove in order to get it's benefit.... just hope that doesnt ruin my burst fire.

I've also been looking at skills. Do you think it would be possible to mod cooldown to instant or change how long it lasts?

Probably not but it may be possable to make an overly powerful class mod.

[footymadcharlie]

probably.

Hello everyone. Im kinda an oddball here. i dont own a xbox and as ive been searching for any kind of information that would help me mod my pc .sav file. i made somewhat of a discovery, So far for the PC you dont have to Rehash it if all your doing is editing. but when i add a few lines into the save... $h!t hits the fan.

You guys are lucky to have awesome programer/s make an app for you guys. ive been searching for 2 days straight. decided to learning how to hex edit from scratch. So incase there are a few people who could lend a hand on how to mod the max ammo and preferencies via hex i would GREATY appreciate it.

Nifty thing. the hex codes are interchangable through consoles... ish. ive noticed some things about my friends ps3 save thats off [without editing it the computer just says that its corupt, when i tinker with it and try to load it, it freezes and shuts down the game].

Thank you in advance for whatever help you guys can provide. I have found some hex keys that can be manually edited to fit your needs.

The beging of the hex codes seem to start out the same all around. so unless youve screwed up somewhere these keys should let you mod as you wish.

~XP: Attributes 69-72 (say you want 664664 exerience points, change attribute number [aka hex keys] 69 to 58, key70 to 24, and so on till the new hex is fully added basically STEP 3 of "OMG Its Storm"'s backpack mod.)
~Level: Attribute/Key 65 (change whatever code there is and add your desired level [in hex ofcorse])
~Skill Points: Keys 73-76
~Money: 81-84

Anything Below 85 seems to shift possitions as characters change, get weapons, etc. Its where im at now and its driving me nuts. cant seem to figure it out.
Hope the information i gave will be benificial to someone. And again thanks for your help.

EDIT: To find the attributes above's Hex Modding your hex editor has to view the .sav file in decimal code, ASCII, and Little Endian byte order. Then simply find the byte number (or set) and edit it.

P.S. How to Mod Borderlands CHARACTER & INVENTORY will be posted when I figure out how to specifically mod weapons. I will need someone to test my modded save file on there xbox when I'm finished modding (to see if the guide is interchangeable between PC saves and xbox saves)

[360Zone]

Would you be able to post your PC sav file?

[DraHuNiX]

Sure... not quite sure what you mean but you can download them if you want. [3 different ways just incase]

0001 is the original that i started with the PC
0005 is the ps3 one that has my original character and all my items, completion rate, everything. My goal was to get all that on my PC so i can just play it on my laptop.
0002 is a duplicate of the original that i was using to spot changes in the hex code. slow process.
not sure if the .wsg is necessary but its in there too.

Anything else i should do?

[360Zone]

No, that's good thanks. I'm going to compare them and see if PC saves are playable on the 360.

[turk645]

in a lot of cases PC and Xbox saves are compatable. The main difference is that the 360 uses the container files to store everthing. That is probably the main difference. It's easy to go from 360 to PC but not the other way around cause you have to build the con from scratch basicly if you do that. I'm in the proccess of getting the PC version myself, download is going slow, cause I thought it would speed up modding research and I want to give Brick an afro.

Edit: Yeah, after looking at it more i can defenetly see that the saves are the same between the two systems. My only questions is what was that Player.wsg file that was with those saves?

[DraHuNiX]

I think it has something to do with how borderlands knows which file are original pc ones or not. but then my other guess was maybe it was a hashing error or something. im still tinkering around but i aint getting nowhere... i did somehow TURN OFF the weapon prefriencies. complete opposite of what i was tring to do. but what sucks is i cant fix my error without adding a hex code, and everytime i do that the game crashes.

Oh and was the save0005 effective in any way? it did come from a ps3. Im curious if you could even go ps3 to 360.

EDIT:
QUOTE FROM How to mod the strength of guns in Borderlands

Well each Save.sav file contains a file named SaveGame.sav. Now, the file table lists every file that is the container file. It notes the name, size, cluster, and other things. So if you change the size of the file, you must also change the size in the file table.

QUOTE END

The Save.sav that Nothingbeter was talking about must be my .wsg file is. and obviously the SaveGame.sav is my Save000#.sav

I've found out how to make guns A LOT stronger.

Made a gun go from doing 9 damage up to 102!

[DraHuNiX]

really? sweet! care to tell?

Finally fixed my preference problem. but im almost a level 25 now and i JUST started getting some weapons to level up. anyone find how to mod this in a hex editor?

[360Zone]

Open your save in HxD.

Find the block for the weapon you want to awesomeify.

Measure 9 bytes forwards from the end of the weapon block.

Change the 9th byte to a number between 00 and 05.
05 is the best
00 is the worst
Rehash and resign.

[DraHuNiX]

OH YA!!!!

(ive been trying to mod the data BEFORE the weapon name... guess that was my issue the whole time. oh well )

Thanks, and not just for showing how to make an awesome weapon, but for giving me the a new strategy in modding

[360Zone]

Well click the thanks button then :p
I'm trying to find out of the same technique works with shields and class mods.

EDIT: It works with shields, grenade mods and class mods!
