It should be much easier to get it running on a Windows machine now. I found a Windows machine (old, so this is for Windows XP), and here's what I did to get it working:

Go to http://www.python.org/download/ and download either "Python 2.7.3 Windows Installer" or, if you're running 64-bit Windows, "Python 2.7.3 Windows X86-64 Installer".

Run that .msi file and if you go with the defaults it'll install Python under C:\Python27\

Read the instructions at [Click here to view this link]

Click on the "ZIP" button to download the files, and put savefile.py in a directory alongside the SaveGame.sav file you want to modify/convert/view/whatever. I'll assume you created a directory called "bl2" on the C: drive for simplicity, and put both savefile.py and any saves you want to modify in there.

Click the Windows Start button down the bottom left and click "Run...". In the window that appears enter "cmd" in the "Open:" textbox and click OK.

In the black window that appears enter "c:", press return, then enter "cd \bl2" and press return.

Then take one of the commands from the instructions on the github page and where it starts with "python" type "c:\python27\python" instead, eg:

c:\python27\python savefile.py -m "" SaveGameFromAPC.sav SaveGameForAnXbox.sav

If you later find something you don't think is working, try downloading the script again from the github page as it has been updated frequently the past few days.

I tried converting from pc save file to xbox and i obtained this error which i do not quite understand why.


Code:
C:\bl2>c:\python27\python savefile.py -m "" --little-endian Save1000.sav Save000
2.sav
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "savefile.py", line 744, in <module>
    main()
  File "savefile.py", line 726, in main
    output.write(modify_save(input.read(), changes, endian))
  File "savefile.py", line 590, in modify_save
    player = read_protobuf(unwrap_player_data(data))
  File "savefile.py", line 317, in unwrap_player_data
    raise BL2Error("Invalid save file")
__main__.BL2Error: Invalid save file

Any help would be appreciated :smile:

if i remember correctly ur converting a console save to pc

so save1000.sav would need to be a pc save, its obv not in this case

and if it is, u have to actually extract the SaveGame.sav from the console save

If you want to do anything with a Xbox save file you can't use the .sav files directly from a USB drive (names like "Save0001.sav" I think). Think of those as a bit like zip/rar files: your save game ("SaveGame.sav") is contained inside and you need to use a program like Horizon or Modio to get access to it.

Once that's done if you extracted the "SaveGame.sav" file out to that bl2 directory as "YourOldXboxSave.sav" the command would be something like:

c:\python27\python savefile.py -m "" --little-endian YourOldXboxSave.sav YourNewPCSave.sav

I managed to convert after the clear explanation about the horizon modding tool, Thanks a lot :smile:

So.... "I Think" I have it all worked out and can edit values inside the "SaveGame.sav"

The problem I am running into is compiling it or whatever it does back to a XBOX readable .sav
How do I convert SaveGame.sav files back to "Save0001" so my XBOX can read it?
