It's very important that you create backups of your savegames!
#############################################################

There is a certain risk that the E-SG-modifier could spoil a savegame when modifying it.

So if you can't restore spoiled savegames (if any) because 
you were too lazy to create backups BEFORE

         then

*** DON'T BLAME ME ***

--------------------------------------------------------------

Secondly you really shouldn't modify the savegame you 
just loaded in ELEX!
This could cause a loss of data integrity!

For Win 7 ELEX savegames are usually to be found here:
[Drive letter]:\Users\YourAccount\Saved Games\ELEX\SaveGames

     --- ELEX savegame modifier (.save) ---    
     --------------------------------------------    
        
    - First of all: I wouldn't recommend to use this tool before    
      you've finished ELEX one time at least.    
        
    - Secondly it's not intended to be a cheat tool.
      I strongly recommend NOT to cheat XPs to increase your level in your first playthrough.
      Especially don't try to gain higher faction ranks this way.
      
      But I can't (and won't) prevent you from spoiling your game.
        
    So it's up to you to improve your gaming experience instead...    

        
    Features:

    Change of attribs, soul (cold), XP and players inventory.    

    You can't expand the inventory, though, just overwrite existing items.    	   
     (That's why it's called 'modifier', not 'editor'.)    
    --- SO BE CAREFUL which items to overwrite! ---    
        
    Some items are untested, especially the 'extra' ones    
    might cause the game to crash.    

    ------------------
    How to use:

    Not all items in the left hand window (player's inventory) are valid for replacing 
     (see hint box below "Soul:" ).
    Also only items with an amount of 1 are replaceable (to avoid users spamming
    the inventory with hundreds of armors, weapons etc.).

    Once you've chosen a valid item on the left a message box pops up: 
                                                      "Choose an item in the right listbox."

    Keep in mind that the item name on the left is not updated - just save, when you're done.


fix: update Level in savedata file


FAQ: why is player's guild not changeable?

    Can break your game because the modifier doesn't change your actual faction/rank
    (such as "BSK", "BSKMID", "BSKHIGH"). Would be a shitload of work!

    Say you were a berserker in a savegame and change that to outlaw.    
    In dialogs Condition PlayerKnows = "BSK"; will still be true so
    NPCs will react/answer as if you were a berserker still.

    If you urgently need to change the faction for example to avoid hostility I recommend 
    to use scripting (InfoCommand SetGuild).
