once you start a new game, or load a save file, you are good to go. I have only had a few problems so far. One was it wasn't working after i set TSR to debug. I forgot to reboot after I did tht. SO I rebooted after it didn't work. After the reboot it was fine. Another time the TSR was set correctly, and so was my IP. It just wouldn't do anything. So I rebooted the Xbox and it was fine again.
I noticed other little things. Like if i didn't hit the disconnect button while playing, the game would suffer major slow down. So just exiting the program, or disconnecting from the main menu, is not good. It annoyed me many times. Trying to re-connect after exiting doesn't work for me. If I wanted to edit something else, I have to reboot the Xbox.
Another thing is using this with a trainer with infinite items on. I had given my self maximum number of items, then it got to a point in the game where I had to buy something from the shop keeper. I had already disconnected from the editor. So I had to reboot my Xbox. In the end of chapter 12 something similar happened. After defeating a boss, I had to pick up a Lives of a thousand whatever for a door to open. Again I had disconnected already, so i had to reboot and fight th boss again.
So my advice for those of you who get the editor working and use a trainer is; never give yourself the maximum number of items, and stay connected with the editor until you are done playing.
I still don't know why some people can't get it to work. maybe it is a firewall problem or a router blocking it from working. I don't if that is correct though because I don't know if the editor is connecting through FTP or telnet. If FTP, and you FTP with other apps, then its not the problem. If the editor uses telnet like I think it does, then something could be blocking it. I am not real good with networking though.
When I use the editor this is what i do:
- Turn the TSR to "debug" in evox. (i turn this to "normal" othertimes because it interferes with Avalaunch's networking)
- Start NG from my HDD.
- Load a game or start a new one.
- Open the editor and set the IP
- Hit connect.
- Hit "read"
- Then start adding or subtracting items in the list. Like if I had an empty spot, I'd put something new in it, set the number I want of the item, hit "update". If all my spots are filled, i go to a spot that has an item I don't care about. I set the number to 0 and hit update. then use that spot and pick something from the drop down box, set the number, hit update.
- When all done, i hit "write". Then check my in-game inventory.
I hope that helps anyone who may be just doing something little incorrectly. My steps can be changed a little, it is all up to you.
