I've been doing some fooling around on my own and searching for a way to increase the save game gold plasm. I saw one of the posts here mentioned something about an offset of 16 but nothing else was known.
Taking a few savegames and starting a new game and comparing saves I've found the gold plasm. It's not stored in a nice orderly fashion and I'm not quite sure how it's set up. Anyway:
The following is in dec, convert to hex first if your tool won't do it for you. It should give you about 2817 gold plasm. Starting at offset 17: 16 48 69
[Also mentioning that offsets 15 and 16 both have zero and 20 to 22 have 202 26 3. Just in case. So starting from offset 15: 0 0 16 48 69 202 26 3]
I also noticed offset 12 changed sometimes, no clue why. And just fiddling around with the numbers doesn't work, it needs some sort of series. HTH someone with their game or finding a better way to change plasm amounts.

Thanks Aro. That was just the bit of information we were missing.

You got it to work on another save? Works fine on all of mine, wasn't sure if it would work for others. Pain having to put in the plasm, open the savegame, distribute plasm, repeat. 2817 was my highest plasm save.
I was never able to hack the active memory and finally figured to check for a non-incremental block when I remembered X-Com Apoc was similar.

No, I didn't get it to work on another savegame, because I didn't test it yet. However much I would like to, I simply have no time for things like this. But I assume it will work, one way or another.

I said I don't have time at the moment for any development/editing. That means I can't/won't make any editors or do any edits at this time (no, I didn't forget your request, Jesse, you just have to be... uhm... very patient... sorry... ).

In my version,
its stored in simple float format in memory but that means an simple exact match search even in float simply wont work ....so is plasm but that plasm has some protection...(Abiet easily bypassed with some nopping)
...perhaps i will put out an trainer with that and an few other things for my version when i refine it (ie get thru enabling more slots, and an few other features)..be nice to combine in an savegame editor..

Heya, it's been a while.
Has anyone done any more checking or produced anything interesting from this?

Not yet, but Kirinke asked me for help concerning changing the Gold Plasm. I'm about to send an e-mail.
