The things that make the editor work!
A command-line program usually provides several "low-level" commands. You can chain multiple commands together and change/edit things any way you want.
Then! If somehow you can't find onesinglecommand that does exactly what you want, you probably want to split this task into multiple commands and run them one at a time.
To use
If something in the documentation starts to seem gibberish, don't worry! The explanations are there for the sake of completeness. You can use the editor perfectly without knowing all the essential details!
basic commands
domain:show
Look for your data in your file saved as a directory path.
Advice
If you can see the field using "show", you can change the field using "set".
Use
display <field path>examples
show inventory bagsshows the contents of the field "inventory-bags"
show invoicedisplays the contents of the only field corresponding to "inv", which is "inventory-sacks"
show inv/0shows the contents of the first inventory
display inv/0/itemsshow all items in first inventory
show inv/0/items/4shows the fifth item in the first inventory
Details
The character file contains a lot of binary data that is often difficult to exploit. This command allows you to browse the contents of the file almost as if you were browsing directories.
Each path component in the path field must be separated by a '/'.
Partial Field Game
Each component is also used to partially match potential fields.
For example, "em" will correspond to "level-em-bio", "sheme", "skill-poemts" and much more.
As long as the component uniquely identifies a single field and the field is a collection, the editor allows you to continue to navigate deeper into the data hierarchy by chaining additional field components together.
--
domain:to place
Define fields in saved file
Use
define <field path> <new value here> define <field path to inventory item> <item name> <optional character level> define <field path to inventory item collection> <item name > <optional character level>examples
iron game 1000000gives your character 1,000,000 iron for all your purchases
set character name Mortychange your character name to Morty
set inv/0/items "holy hammer of eternal wrath"puts a new luxury item in your inventory
Details
The 'set' command is actually 2 commands in 1.
value settings
set <field path> <new value here>
If the field path refers to a real value such as: integer, floats, strings and booleans. It will simply set the value to the new value you provided. It will do its best to force the entered value into the correct type.
item creation
define <field path to inventory item> <item name> <optional character level> define <field path to inventory item collection> <item name> <optional character level>If the field path refers to an element or a collection of elements, the editor will try to generate an element that matches the
If you have given the editor a collection of items, such as 'inv/0/items', it will try to find some empty space in the inventory to place the item.
The editor needs access to the game database for item creation to work. If the editor throws an error during item creation, you probably need to set the game directory correctly.
--
domain:meet
Find/locate an item, equipment, skills, devotions and factions by name.
Use
find <partial name>examples
find tonicFind any item containing the word tonic
find "Maiven's Protection Sphere"Find a specific skill by name
Details
There may be a lot of data in your character file. Although the editor allows you to edit any element field by field, it is difficult to find the element you want to edit in the first place.
HemeetThe command solves this problem by searching all the data in the file and printing the location of things that partially match the entered name. It is then possible to use other commands to make specific edits.
For example, if you're low on health potions, you can do:
> find tonicRepair tonic: inventory-sacks/0/inventory-items/0 > set inventory-sacks/0/inventory-items/0/stack count 99In this example, we first enter the item for the repair tonic, then change the stack count so that we have 99 on the stack.
--
domain:exchange variant
Switch between variants of an element's base name, prefix, or suffix
Use
swap-variant <path to element> swap-variant <path to element> basenameswap-variant <path to element> prefix swap-variant <path to element> suffixexamples
swap variant weapon sets/0/items/0Change the currently equipped weapon's base/item name
Details
The editor 'set' command can be used to generate elements. However, it doesn't let you choose the exact variant you want. For example, the legendary "Ravager's Dreadgaze" helmet has 3 different variants, each with very different enhancements. When the 'set' command generates that element, you really don't know which one you want specifically.
exchange variantsolves this problem by allowing you to customize the element after the element is generated. The command can take care of changing the base element (base name), prefix or suffix.
When the command is executed, it searches the game's database for items/affixes with the same name and presents the found items in an on-screen menu. The menu works the same as the character selection menu when the editor is first started. You can make your selection by typing a number and pressing enter.
The editor will try to display only "interesting" fields in the element/attachment. In this case, "interesting" means fields that are unique among all variants. This means that the menu will not present the full list of buffs for the item/affix. But you must provide enough information to make it possible to choose the desired variant.
--
domain:to write
Writes the character that is currently loaded
Use
writewrite <new character name>Details
to writewrites the currently loaded character. It's always backed up first so you can try to roll back to a previous save file if something goes wrong. If you've changed the "character name" at any time, the editor will also move your save files into the appropriate directory so the game can find them.
Notice
While the editor does his best to trynoreaching your save file, it would be wise to make regular backups on your own,I know by chance.
write <new character name>writes a new copy of the loaded character after renaming the character.
--
domain:charge
Load from a saved file
Syntax
chargeDetails
This is a strange command. This is the only command that will take you to a different menu. It will actually download your current character, if any, and show you the character select menu.
You probably expected the command to look likeload <character name>This isn't really ideal because:
- It is possible that you have multiple saveirs set up and they have a character with the same name
- It is not clear which characters were found andhe canbe loaded without a menu
--
domain:to update
Update to the latest version of gd-edit
Details
The publisher will check for a new version if it hasn't done so within the last 24 hours. If a new version is found, a warning should be displayed right after starting the editor.
running theto updateThe command actually starts the download and restarts the editor if possible.
--
domain:salida
He simply exits the program. Very clear!
convenience commands
These are commands that normally require complicated character operations to complete. While the editor offers many tools for exploring the game's database and modifying your save file, sometimes you just need a little more oomph from the editor.
domain:level
Set the loaded character's level to a new value
Use
level <new level>
Details
You can level the character either up or down. This command will update the following fields:
- character level (3 separate fields)
- attribute points
- skill points
- experience points
--
domain:I respect
Respect the loaded character
Use
Respect Respected Attributes Respected Devotions Respected Skills Respect AllDetails
I respect, by itself, is the samerespect everyone.
This is useful when you want to transform your character into another build entirely. Alternatively, you could also just respect stats, devotions, or abilities if you just want to tweak your build a bit and avoid having to pick everything again.
To use
In case it wasn't clear, the editor doesn't provide any way to choose devotions and abilities. You will have to return to the game to do this.
Context
domain:saying
Set save game directory to a path
Use
saversavedir <path to save directory>Details
The editor already looks in the following directory by default:
- Steam Cloud Storage Directory (Obtained from Windows Registry)
- Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\save\main
If, for some reason, the save directory does not reside in any of these locations, you can use this command to add another path for the editor to look for.
To use
Point to the save\main directory. Because... reasons?
--
domain:save clear
Delete the previously defined game directory
--
domain:it's a game
Set the game install directory to a path
Notice
Many of the editor commands will not work unless the gamedir is set!
Use
gamedirgamedir <path to game installation directory>Details
The editor will look for the Steam installation directory and then look in the "\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn" subdirectory. If you are not using Steam, or if you installed Grim Dawn in another directory, you will need to use this command to help the editor find the installation directory.
The editor needs "database\database.arz" and "resources\Text_EN.arc" to resolve affixes, their human readable names, and other data required by various commands. Defining it is notstrictlyneeded if you are only using the 'show' and 'set' editor commands. However, it is very likely that soon you will want to create items by name and respect your character, etc.
--
domain:delete game directory
Delete the previously set game installation directory
--
domain:modification
Shows the currently selected mod
--
domain:mod selection
Choose an installed mod to activate
Use
mod selection
Details
This is another command that will not accept any parameters but will take you to a selection menu. The menu will display the game mods you have installed and allow you to choose one to "activate".
When a mod is "live", the editor will fetch the contents of the mod's database.arz file. From that moment on, mod data will be taken into account to respect, level, modify the domain/class.
--
domain:clear mode
Uncheck the currently selected mod
class manipulation
domain:classroom
Shows the loaded character's classes/mastery
--
domain:add class
Add a class/mastery by name
Use
class add <domain name>
The publisher can accept any domain name listed inclass list, which should include all masteries added by mods.
The editor will try to remove 1 skill point from the character if possible. This is done to keep skill point usage constant. If the character has no more skill points to use, the editor will ask you to do so anyway if you wish.
This command is included primarily for completeness, as you will most likely choose your domain directly from the game.
--
domain:class list
Show classes/masteries known to the editor.
This includes masteries added by mods. See the 'mod' commands to configure which GD mod the editor should take into account when handling character domains.
--
domain:delete class
Delete a class/mastery by name
Use
delete class <domain name>
The publisher can accept any domain name listed inclass list, which should include all masteries added by mods.
Removing a domainnoskills associated with the domain. Any bonuses gained from these abilities must still be active. However, you will lose the ability to put points into these skills in the game's UI.
Deleting a mastery will return the skill points you put into the mastery.
database scan
domain:database
Explore the database interactively
Use
db <registry path>
Example
database records/items/summaryshows all known boots/shoes in the game
database records/items/summary/d010shows database record for "Earthshatter Treads"
Details
This command is similar to the "show" command. While the "show" command lets you browse the character file as a directory structure, the "db" command lets you browse the game database as a directory structure.
Partial route matching rules also apply.
--
domain:q
Query the database
Use
q <matching condition> <matching condition> ...
Example
q chave~offensivePhysicalMinfind all records that have field keys that partially match "offensivePhysicalMin"
q offensivePhysicalMin>50find all records/items/fixes that cause at least 50 physical damage
q offensivePhysicalMin>50 levelRequirement<20find all records/items/affixes that deal at least 50 physical damage and can be equipped by characters below level 20
q log name ~ axfinds all records where the name partially matches the string "axe"
Details
Eh... Are you really reading this? Let me tell you... it's highly unlikely that you will need this command.
The db game hasa littleData. There are about 30,000 records last time I looked. that's just onesmallToo much to search manually. This command allows you to examine the database and limit the results to something that can be manually examined.
The game's database records are kept in what are known as "key/value" pairs of the akahash/dictionary table. The command accepts a series of match conditions that perform a single test on the key, the value, or both. If a record meets all the conditions listed in the "query", the record will be collected and displayed in the future.
matching condition
A matching condition takes the form<match target> <operator> <match value>
A<matching target>it can be the string "record name", "key", "value", or the partial name of a key.
<operator>must be one of the following:
| operator | meaning |
|---|---|
| ~ | partial string matching against |
| *= | partial string matching against |
| = | exact match against |
| != | it's not the same |
| > | but bigger than |
| >= | Better than or equal to |
| < | less than |
| <= | less than or equal to |
A<corresponding value>can be an integer, a float, a quoted string, or any string
results ordering
The editor will display the first 10 matching records sorted by their record name. You can modify the order by adding a clause in the form of "order
The editor will always sort in descending order if an order clause is provided.
--
domain:qshow
Show next page in current query result
Details
Often, a query will returnmanyresults. Each record shown in Theeditor only shows 10 records at a time. Running this command will cause the next10 command to be displayed.
If the last result was displayed, running this command again will "wrap" it and start displaying again from the first matching record.
--
domain:qn
It is short for "next appointment". It does the same as 'qshow'. This is just an analysis so we can see the "next" set of results.
