How to edit Overcooked 2 Saves Files!
A simple, guide for editing overcooked 2 saves!
I take NO responsibility for any lost save files, game errors, computer problems, online/leaderboard bans etc.
Backup your save files, and check the terms of use before attempting!
This is a Guide for editing overcooked 2 save files, for steam, other PC platforms should be similar, but may have different folders.
Before we get started, you'll need a few things:
- Overcooked Tool
(for encrypting/decrypting saves
- A Text Editor
(Notepad may work, but notepad++ is my choice)
- Your save file!
(make sure you've run the game once, and finished the tutorial)
Part 1 - Locating your save:
Open your file explorer, and in the address bar paste in the following:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team17\Overcooked2
Press enter, and you should see a folder full of numbers:
Those numbers are our user id, We'll need that for later, but for now, open the folder.
Once inside, you should see a few files,
"meta_savefile" is the common file this contains records, keybinds, etc,
but "CoopSlot_*****" Are the actual save files, those are what we'll be working with today.
Ok, Now that we have that, we need to extract "overcooked tool", and set up our temporary folder.
To make things simple, I'm just going to make a new folder "c:\oversave" and I'll extract the files there.
You can put the files wherever you want, but the giude will use this folder.
Once everything's extracted you're ready to start!
2- Decrypting Your save File
Now, you'll need to open command prompt.
(Windows key+'R', then type 'CMD' and press enter)
This should open a black box,
Drag and drop the 'OvercookedTool.exe' from C:\oversave to the black box.
Next press the [space bar], then type decrypt followed by annother [space]
Next, drag and drop your save file, the name should be "CoopSlot_SaveFile_*.save"
('Where CoopSlot_SaveFile_0.save' is slot 1, 'CoopSlot_SaveFile_1.save' is slot 2, etc)
You sould see a space between '.exe' 'decrypt' and the path to your save file, (as shown above)
Next, add an extra [space] after your save file name, and type in: c:\oversave\edit.save
(this is an example file name that will be used for the rest of the guide)
And finally, add one last [space] and type your user id, again, that's the number on the folder we opened eaeriler.
And now we should have the complete command:
(Your user id number will be in the save file path, and ad the end after edit.save, also make sure everything is spaced properly)
Now press [enter], and your save file will be decrypyed and saved as: c:\oversave\edit.save
(If you get an error about .net framework 3.1.10, you'll need to download this.)
3- Editing your decrypted save!
Now open c:\oversave\edit.save, in your favrote text editor! (I recomend Notepad++)
And you'll see a long line of text. (You may want to enable word wrap [View -> Word wrap]
It may look pretty messy, but this is your save file in plain text!
We can start edting the stats for a level by searching for the entry, You'll neeed to know the level ID for this, but they're pretty easy to guess. there a whole number between 0-51.
With 0 being the tutorial, 1-1 being ID #1, 1-2 being ID #2,1-6 is ID#6,
And it contines for other levels such as 2-1 is ID#7, 3-1 is ID# 13, etc.
The bonus (kevin) levels start at ID#37 for "Kevin-1"
So we'll need to search for our ID number like this, press CTRL+F then type the following in the box:
:[\"ID\"
But replace ID with the level you want to edit.
(in this example I'm looking for [level 1-4] or ID#4)
Press 'Find Next' then Notepad++ will find the where that leve's data is stored.
Thats' the start of the level data, the whole line will look like this:
:[\"4\",\"False\",\"False\",\"False\",\"-2147483648\",\"0\",\"0\",\"False\",\"False\"]}"},
And heres' how it's formatted:
[\"4\",\"False\",\"False\",\"False\",\"-2147483648\",\"0\",\"0\",\"False\",\"False\"]}"}
Level ID, Completed?,Purchased?,Unlocked, HighScore,Survival Mode Time,Stars,Objectives Completed, New Game+ Enabled.
In the above example, it says level 1-4 is not completed and it's not unlocked or revealed (shows up on map)
So to unlock the level we could just changed 'Unlocked' and from 'False' to 'True'
For example:
[\"4\",\"False\",\"False\",\"True\",\"-2147483648\",\"0\",\"0\",\"False\",\"False\"]}"}
But we can also mark the level as Completed, and set our own high score and stars as well!
[\"4\",\"True\",\"True\",\"True\",\"1337\",\"0\",\"3\",\"False\",\"False\"]}"}
We've now marked the Level ID#4, as 'complted with 3 stars, with a high score of 1337!
When you're done, Save the file!
(And make sure you did not accidently delete any quote markes, Also 'True' and 'False' Are case sensitive!)
4- Encrypting and importing your modified Safe file.
[Backup Up your steam save first]
This part is pretty easy, just go back to your command promp, and again, drag-and drop Overcooked tool.
add a space, and this time type 'encrypt' add a second space followed by: c:\oversave\edit.save followed by a space, then drag and drop your encrypted save from eariler, add a space and add your user ID, and you should see something like this:
Hit enter, and you should be all set!
Load up your game, and your save file should reflect the changes!
As for unlockable characters, you may need to play at least one level, on your modded save, and unpon completion, it should unlock any (non-dlc) characters that your eligible for.
[Character unlocks are stored in your system save (not co-op slots)]
Also, depening on how many levels you unlock, you may need to talk to the king a few times.
----
Additinal Notes:
{Each DLC has it's own SEPRATE set of Save slots}
If you're edting a ton of levels
(for example recreating a save from console, or making a 100% save file)
It may be faster to open normal note pad, and make a templkate for your levels.
For example you could type in:
:[\"9\",\"True\",\"True\",\"True\",\"600\",\"0\",\"3\",\"True\",\"False\"]}"}
That's the line for a 2-3 save that's unlocked, completed with 3 stars and a high score of 600,
Keep that notepad open, then if you wanted to edit level 2-4 quickly, you could just edit that line for example:
you could simly change the values to whatever you want, like:
:[\"10\",\"True\",\"True\",\"True\",\"800\",\"0\",\"2\",\"True\",\"False\"]}"}
(Level ID 10, hi-score 800, 2 stars)
Then you could just paste that over your old level 10 data
:[\"10\",\"False\",\"False\",\"False\",\"-2147483648\",\"0\",\"0\",\"False\",\"False\"]}"}
As long as you don't paste over too much, you should have a quick, easy, and clear way to edit levels!
