[Tool] GD Defiler

Could you send these two characters to me for testing please? I believe they have old riftgates which explains why they show up and appear to have more than they actually do (with the current list of riftgates), and also explains when you switch tabs why they update to the correct # (as it is applying them to the list behind the scenes and updating the count).

Published 1.0.47, a minor update that replaces the character window’s “Character” menu with a more intuitive toolbar. Also hid the backups tab. :wink:

Any way to reset attribute points, besides adding the points then subtracting invested points from totals (if you can ever remember what you spent, i cant)
Otherwise, a powerfull tool. Saves me a ton of time testing characters out.

I’ve just added a “Reset Attributes” button to that screen, let me know if that helps! :slight_smile: Let me know if anything doesn’t look right, but that should allow you to reset your points more easily.

I didn’t see it did i miss something ?

Didn’t see the toolbar or the backups tab? :slight_smile:

Hi,

I am playing Grim Dawn on linux using wine. All I want is to rename a character, but I am unable to install your mod (by no fault of yours, of course).

Can you post a brief guide about how one can change the name of a character? Or a link to a similar guide?

how can i change my char experience/name?

Hello!

Is there a way to reset the respec cost (instead of the skills themselves)? That would be great for characters that spend too long in Early Access and now need 15000 iron per point! :slight_smile:

The short answer is no. :frowning: The long answer is you have to modify the character name in the file, and the file is encrypted so there isn’t really a way to simply rename it via a guide unfortunately…you’ll have to have someone else with the GD Defiler (or another tool that’s capable) do it for you and send you the “gdc” file back after it’s changed (after which you must rename the folder name to match the new character name).

You can’t…yet, I have to code the portion to automate this as there are a number of different cases that must be accounted for if the character name is changed which complicates things. The experience has to have the level match and vice versa, which I don’t have the table or formula yet to calculate that so it’s currently disabled to prevent goofy characters where it appears that you are gaining no experience because you bumped your toon to lvl80 but have the experience of a lvl2 still. :slight_smile:

Yes! Under the ‘Skills’ tab, look for skill points reclaimed, setting this back to 0 should reset that cost for you. :slight_smile:

or you use a tool which should work on Linux :wink:

GD Stash allows the renaming of chars and since it is in Java it should work (not sure if any users are on Linux, have not heard success or complaints yet :wink: )

Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Should require a 64bit OS / JVM (it does for Windows, but mostly because the 32bit JVM does not like me allocating 350MB of RAM, even though that should be nowhere near an amount that gets it into trouble), but I guess for Linux that is common (and really, by now it should be for Windows too…)

Awesome, thank you good sir!

Edit: apparently I reclaimed 432 points. :stuck_out_tongue:

GD Stash works on linux, I’ve managed to edit my character name and I’ve played him for an hour or two.

In case you are wondering:

I appreciate having this tool. Thanks a lot!

Welcome! :slight_smile:

Is it possible to remove mastery points, or even change masteries? I use GD Defiler to “fix” my char’s attributes currently (cause Crate didnt allowed to repect them), but sometimes, i think “what if i’ve got another mastery? MAybe, it’ll be better combo for my build?”, and i dont really want to level up another toon just to check it.

Yes, your masteries are simply just another skill…you can remove them via the skills tab. You’ll have to tally up the points in that mastery as well as the skills under it, as I don’t have an easy button for that quite yet, but it’ll be one of the first things to get added so people can select a new mastery if they wish.

As always, backup your character before editing (the player.gdc file).

Hi! Thanks for the tool.

I’m curious, is it still possible in Grim Dawn to adjust monster item rarity and some of the other modifications that the TQ Defiler provided? Those features as well as the flying ragdolls greatly increased my enjoyment of the game.
