---------------------TWEditor - Version 2.

1
---------------------Overview
---------------------------------TWEditor allows you to modify save games created by The Witcher. You can modify
the attributes and abilities of the player character (Geralt). You can also unp
ack all of the files in the save, manually modify one or more of the files, and
then repack the save. Note that you can not add files to the save or delete fil
es from the save.
The 'Stats' tab allows you to modify selected fields in the save game such as ex
perience, orens and talents. The modified values will be written when the file
is saved. Whether or not the changes are accepted when the save is loaded depen
ds on the game engine.
The 'Attributes' tab allows you to modify Strength, Dexterity, Stamina and Intel
ligence selections.
The 'Signs' tab allows you to modify Aard, Igni, Quen, Axii and Yrden selections
.
The 'Styles' tab allows you to modify Steel Sword and Silver Sword selections.
The 'Equipment' tab allows you to modify Geralt's equipped items and trophy.
The 'Inventory' tab allows you to modify Geralt's inventory.
The 'Quests' tab shows the game quests (Started, Completed, Failed and Not Start
ed). The 'Examine' button will display a description of the current quest stage
(if the stage has a description).
Installation
---------------------------------This version of the save game editor assumes you have installed the Enhanced Edi
tion of The Witcher. Using this version of the editor with the original version
of The Witcher can result in inventory errors.
To install this utility, place the TWEditor.jar file into a directory of your ch
oice. To run the utility, create a program shortcut and specify
javaw -Xmx256m -jar TWEditor.jar
as the program to run. Set the Start Directory to the directory where you extra
cted the jar file. A sample program shortcut is included. The -Xmx256m argumen
t specifies the maximum heap size in megabytes (the example specifies a heap of
256Mb). You can increase the size if you run out of space processing very large
saves. Note that Windows will start swapping if the Java heap size exceeds the
amount of available storage and this will significantly impact performance. Th
e java virtual machine will fail to start if the requested heap size is too larg
e.
The Sun Java 1.6 runtime is required. You can download JRE 1.6 from http://java
.com/download/index.jsp. If you are unsure what version of Java is installed on
your system, open a command prompt window and enter "java -version".

The game install directory is located by scanning the Windows registry. If this
scan fails or if the game files are located in a different directory, you can s
pecify the game install directory when starting the editor. This is done by spe
cifying -DTW.install.path="<path>" on the java command line where <path> is the
directory containing dialog.tlk. For example, if the game files are located in
C:\Games\The Witcher and the editor is installed in C:\Games, the shortcut would
look like this:
javaw -DTW.install.path="C:\Games\The Witcher" -jar TWEditor.jar
Don't forget to put double quotes around the path name.
The language identifier is determined by scanning the windows registry. If this
scan fails or you want to use a different language, you can specify the languag
e identifier when starting the editor. This is done by specifying -DTW.language
=n on the java command line where 'n' is the language identifier for the associa
ted .tlk file. For example, US English would be specified as:
javaw -DTW.language=3 -jar TWEditor.jar
The game data directory is assumed to be "The Witcher" in the user documents fol
der ("My Documents" on an English-language system). If the save games are locat
ed in another directory, you can specify the game data directory when starting t
he editor. This is done by specifying -DTW.data.path="<path>" on the java comma
nd line where <path> is directory containing the game data. For example, if the
user login is "Ronald Hoffman", the normal game data directory would be "C:\Doc
uments and Settings\Ronald Hoffman\My Documents\The Witcher".
The Java runtime will sometimes throws a null pointer exception when adding the
shell folders to the file chooser dialog (JFileChooser). If this happens, you c
an disable the shell folders by specifying -DUseShellFolder=0 on the java comman
d line.
