D3Studio{Fork} v4.3.1

[god-jester]

Diablo 3 Season 28/Patch 2.7.5/Builds: 87400 & 87422

NOTE: This is a preliminary release! There is more work to be done for 2.7.5 (verifying values for Unlock All, Cube Legendaries, etc.)
Expect another editor update very soon (with better release notes), but for now enjoy Season 28!

v4.3.1 Changes

• New! - Support for the "Crafted Primal" item flag was added (check properties tab)
• New! - All new items from 2.7.5 have been added (including Season 28 rewards)
• New! - All strings (customizable Rare Names) have been updated for 2.7.5
• Notice: When you enable "99999999 Materials" checkbox on the Account tab, Primordial Ashes will be included
• Notice: The crap in the "raw gbids (S28)" category are NOT usable items, they were added for the game to display things for the "Altar"
• Change: 2.7.5 did NOT add any new affixes, but I discovered a missing batch in the game files, mostly from vanilla D3
  • You can take a peek in the raw categories, but they will probably not have a description
  • New affixes: 855 // Total affixes: 8,334
• Change: Added a missing batch of items as well, untested, but found in the game files
  • New GBIDs: 146 // Total GBIDs: 7,352
• Change: Swapped app icon (and managed to do it without adding 70MB to the EXE)
• Change: Added an optional full, raw strings database WITH duplicates - only the credits strings removed since they don't load
  • Please don't use this, it will be SO slow // Total strings: 115,669
• Fix: Your manually added GBIDs/Affixes in GBID/Affix_List.txt now show when editing gear, not just in the GBID tab (sorry!)
• Fix: Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

• TODO: Research and implement new cube powers and unlocks (if any) for 2.7.5
• TODO: Make sure the editor runs without ANY of the GBID/Affix/String/Skill databases (the \db\*.bin files)
  • The goal is to allow users to bring their own .txt file databases and discard my .bin databases if they choose to

StringLists.zip instructions

Copy the desired system_strings.bin file to \D3Studio{Fork}\db\ folder, and OVERWRITE the included default db

• Default included db is MediumList = 36,994 strings
• RareNamesOnly = 3,014 strings
• HugeList = 60,853 strings
• EVERYStringShortened = 115,669 strings - shortened to ~55 characters
• EVERYStringFull = 115,669 strings - full original length (SLOW!!)

Download v4.3.1 with all GBIDs & 36,994 strings here

The RARE NAME tab will lag for a few seconds the first time you click it for any given Hero/Stash/Locker tab, but not again within that tab

This is unavoidable at the moment with tens of thousands of new strings loading. I have included StringLists.zip with 5 different levels listed above.

v4.3 Changes

• New! - Added Holiday and Diablo IV pre-order items from latest patch to GBID_List.txt:
  • Pet: Father Murkus (Diablo IV Preorder)
  • Wings: Tyranny of the Father (Diablo IV Preorder)
  • Holiday Gift
  • Sword of Mediocrity

• New! - Added the 18 strings from latest patch:

• New! - The "GBID/Affix Lists" tab now has support for adding/changing/deleting items in GBID/Affix_List.txt
  • You can now delete \db\system_gbids.bin and \db\system_affixes.bin if you ONLY want user lists
• New! - Browsing the Affix list while editing items now shows the full name in the bottom info box (some are very long)
• New! - Searching GBID or Affix lists now has the option to search by GBID, in the event you have the ID but not the name
• New! - Searching in the "GBID/Affix Lists" tab now supports Name/Description/Category/GBID modes, now matches the item window
  
  
• Change: Check out the website! Show it to your friends! ~ https://diablo.jester.dev
• Change: Redesigned look! Modern font, background changes, and a better "About" tab
• Change: Switched preferred CPU architecture from x86 to x64 for improved performance
• Change: Protected with newest obfuscator: slightly smaller filesize, and reduces false positives on VirusTotal
• Change: Now signed with a strong name key to avoid exe modification
• Change: Flags section in the Properties tab for items is now 2 columns and a much smaller footprint
• Change: Gold amount is now 1337420999999 instead of 99999999 when using materials checkbox
  
  
• Fix: Text now wraps in the bottom info box that shows currently selected GBID/Affix name and description
• Fix: All tabs under "GBID/Affix Lists" are now correctly aligned when switching between them
• Fix: Refresh button and right-pointing arrows no longer stretch/distort, completely crisp look now
• Fix: Resizing window no longer lags, and lots of internal code improvements and speed-ups

Exclusive Features

• Every single GBID (8,334), Affix (7,352), and Rare Name string (115,669) in the game
• Incredible performance: launches and loads saves in a fraction of the time of all other editors, with massively reduced RAM usage
• Instant responsiveness: tasks and threading implemented by GoobyCorp
  • When testing the database of 60k strings, another editor took 41 minutes to launch... but v4.2 launches instantly!
• Support for editing the Sanctified item flag, which only works during Seasonal play
  • Note that you can only have one Sanctified item equipped at a time
• Sanctified items are marked with a plus (+)
• Primal Ancient items are marked with an asterisk (*)
• Support for toggling every possible item flag in the game
• Able to duplicate 1x, 10x, or 50x in one click instead of spamming the old button
• Able to paste Tier Quality to selected items, exactly like pasting a Rare Name to selected items
• You can edit \db\CurrentSeason.txt if there's a new season before a new editor release
• Developed for editing Switch/PS4 seasonal saves instead of Xbox 360/PS3 saves like other editors
  • This allows for my modern approach to truly unlock every transmog, legendary power, frame, pet, and wing set... including ALL SEASONAL PETS, and the Wanderer's Set + Ethereal transmogs with one click
  • Old-gen importing cannot affect seasons, so please use D3StudioFast for 360/PS3 legacy methods
• Single executable file, with a total of 2 folders and about 16 files in the ZIP, for a total size of ~4.5MB - NOT cluttered with useless HUGE files like other editors
• All stashes forcibly increment the item position from 0-910 (max) for each item, this avoids situations where duping too many items in the editor wouldn't show up in the in-game stash. I ran into this issue with only 148 items in my stash!
• The Stash tab used to have items stuck in different slots when importing from the Locker or a Hero File, but now it will correctly force everything into your Stash
• Still the only editor to handle all the new data in S25 Soul Shards (which, along with Ethereals, can still be used in all seasonal play)
  • If inserting/modifying legit items or opening a save with S25 Soul Shards, you can actually copy/paste/duplicate them without the constant errors from every other editor, and they will behave properly when leveled up in-game
  • With D3StudioFork, Soul Shards have always leveled up properly and unlocked new Hell Powers (affixes) when upgraded, just like the legit items
• Full support for displaying and editing the 8 missing follower item slots, every single item slot in the game is properly handled: 32 total new slots including generic follower slots and Scoundrel/Templar/Enchantress
• Changed "Max All Materials" to "99999999 Materials" so you can still pick up materials in-game
• Everything is inside one EXE now
• Added "Seasonal" checkbox next to the "Set 21 Dots/Max Stats" button that will instantly convert your character to and from current season
• Removed the (Seasonal) text from the Sex/HeroCore dropdown; each season seems to rotate the IDs, so it was unreliable
• Made all stashes forcibly and recursively change the item slot from 0-910 (max) for each item, this avoids situations where editing and duping too many items in the editor wouldn't show up in-game: I ran into this issue with only 148 items in my stash, now fixed!
• Fixed type conversion for item IDs to what the game expects: unsigned long - this fixes some rare arithmetic errors
• Fixed Blacksmith being set to level 56, correctly goes to 12 now
• Error messages are now more descriptive if there is an issue when launching, previously it would ALWAYS say "Fatal Error: Missing libraries"
• Added a "Max Positive Stats" button on Hero page next to "Set 21 Dots/Max Stats" for Paragon modding, with updated math to be as potent as possible
• Changed cosmetic images and icons, and they no longer stretch/distort. The new size of primary executable is ~4MB
• Changed colors and layout all around the whole tool, and if an item's prefix is "Jester's" it has a custom color!
• Lots and lots of improvements to the UI (e.g. layout improvements, fixed typos) and quality-of-life features (easier duplication, pasting rare names, etc.)

PLEASE read the extensive changelog in v4.0 for full changes compared to D3Studio 3.5

Notes

It is NOT POSSIBLE with current homebrew apps to decrypt PS4 saves on your PC, you must follow my guide and use a jailbroken PS4. Save Wizard does not support decrypting D3 saves, only resigning them. Do not listen to anyone who says or promises otherwise!

This discussion was created from the release D3Studio{Fork} v4.3.1.

[andyvalci]

Oiya, I'm tryna use the editor in the Ryujinx emulator save, but it ain't working. Is there a specific method to follow or do I just need to open the account.dat file?

[defuuss]

I have the same issue , trying on the switch backuped my savegame with jksv do the sd card and try to open it , it's tries to charge but nothing happens and then i am back at the first menu

[DIckiiiiop]

The new season begins, request your new work!BIG BRO!

[lblb699]

When I used the Unlock All Copnsmetics checkbox, the game added a lot of wings and pets with missing ICONS. I tried to find the relevant gbid, but I could not find the relevant data in Account--Raw--unlocked_cosmetics. I want to delete these missing ICONS for wings and pets, how do I do it?

[GreemDev]

Lol, this is obfuscated? Nevermind preventing people from stealing your work, now I won't even use it. Good job.

I was going to open this up in a decompiler: not to steal it, but to check if it's malicious for myself. Anti-viruses aren't trustworthy, neither is a GitHub page with just releases and no clear sign as to what produced the binaries you see in the releases. Hell, I don't even know what language this is written in. Could be C#, could be C++, could be Go. It could even be a Python-app-in-an-.exe.
But in your effort to stop people from stealing your work (when in reality this is a FORK of someone ELSE's work), you've taken that ability away.

I can't even find the original project this is based on, all of the links are dead; so this is just fully closed-source software now, not even partially OSS.

As for stealing your work, this is the first result when searching for "diablo 3 save editor." Why be scared of people stealing your work when you can simply point to how your application, the first result in Google, which does the same thing, and has existed for longer, looks identical, barring a few name changes or an icon change some potential thief threw in. Code thieves aren't bright enough to hide that they stole, except for obvious traces, such as the real author's name/online alias. If they were that bright, they'd just make it themselves and not steal in the first place.

You compare this save editor to others but you miss one critical thing: are they open-source software? If they are, they automatically win any competition; because they can at least be improved, if they aren't already good, by more/other than just a single person who may not know how to do so.

According to the Wayback Machine snapshot of the original repository, the code you forked from was GPL-3.0. This means that not releasing the source code of your derived version constitutes a violation of @Tonic-Box's rights under the license. I'm not going to be the one to point out the sheer irony of you desperately wanting to protect your work from theft when you quite literally did the exact same thing to @Tonic-Box the second D3Studio was made OSS. Shameful.

Deleting/altering this comment is proof you are scared of the truth of what you are doing: you may prevent others from seeing it but you and I both know I'm right and that you don't want to be called out for it.

[Tonic-Box]

The license was changed at the end on my end for what its worth.

[god-jester]

You can take a deep breath now @GreemDev

As you can see from d3hack which I shared less than a week ago, I am releasing my most private and exclusive research, fully open source. I will drop the source code for this project once it is polished and I find the time.

Regarding your "legal" analysis of the GPL and my relationship with the original author: You are incorrect. The decision to close-source and obfuscate this fork was made in direct coordination with the original author, TonicBox. As the copyright holder, he is entitled to grant exceptions to the license, which he explicitly did here:

[1] "Obfuscating variables and strings will be enough to stop him"

[2] No objection to obfuscated clone of original repo

I took these measures specifically to stop a meth-afflicted gremlin of a 45-year-old man who was throwing around videos and social media posts claiming all recent community work was his own without crediting our repos. If you're concerned about binaries or "shameful" behavior, you’re welcome to wait for the source release or simply not use the tool. Accusing a dev of violating a license when you aren't privy to the conversations with the original author is a waste of everyone's time.

Next time, verify who you are trying to "protect" before writing an essay accusing their collaborators of theft.

[god-jester]

#14 (reply in thread)

and I would tell you that you're a 22 -year-old man and you should act your age, but... I remember back then. I guess you are.

[Tonic-Box]

I did have the notion he may have consented to the stuff you're doing, but I didn't think any self-respecting dev would let someone else obfuscate their work and adamantly act like they're the only person whose work matters. It's also not my fault I just so happened to miss some shit going on some random forum people who aren't in the know aren't expected to see. I want to edit my save, on an emulator, that I maintain; not join an actual online game hacking community. It's really simple.

The contents of this repo hasn't been touched in months. I'm not going to search random forums, that I didn't know the existence of or know if you're on them, to find more information. This comes back to a GitHub repository with just binaries being a terrible idea. It's not my fault you did everything in your power to make information about this project impossible to come across apart for people who waste their lives away on hacking forums for decade old games.

If you don't want to get accused of what it looks like you're doing: clarify it. Provide those SAME SCREENSHOTS AND LINK TO THE FORUMS. Immediate shutdown.

But no, apparently I'm the stupid one for using all of the information I could have realistically known to call you out on what it seemed like you were doing. How the hell could I have possibly known you had that conversation with Tonic? I couldn't have. I could have had a notion, like I did initially, but I don't know; and assuming the author consented when I come across a case of what seems to be code stealing is laughably hilarious.

A single sack of shit who steals your work doesn't mean you should act like everyone is out to do the same.

Eh I've no attachments to this scene any more. It was fun but git boring to me.having much more fun with compiler theory stuff these days :)

How the hell could I have possibly known

It's not a mystery. You just ask. A normal person asks for clarification instead of writing a multi-paragraph essay accusing a stranger of rights infringement based on a Wayback Machine search. You resorted to internet archaeology to strengthen an invented argument rather than just asking the people involved.

I didn't think any self-respecting dev would let someone else obfuscate their work

Obfuscating future releases with the permission of @Tonic-Box (after he changed the license), is completely different than locking down an existing open-source repo. You're conflating the two to fit your narrative.

A single sack of shit who steals your work doesn't mean you should act like everyone is out to do the same.

I never treated everyone like a thief. Like I already showed you, it was one specific guy with a dnSpy fetish and a vendetta. It was the only reasonable solution at the time.

I'm not going to search random forums...

I'm not on "hacking forums." The screenshots clearly show a Discord DM. Funny how you're willing to dig through the Wayback Machine to hallucinate a legal argument, but you can't identify a Discord icon.

As for this being the first result on Google: yeah, and it wasn't for a long, LONG time. It's there now because I won with hard work, research, and effective countermeasures. I won, the tool works, I moved on. The game is dead, which makes your crusade here even weirder.

You talk a big game about how "self-respecting devs" should act, but it looks like you struggle with basic social interaction everywhere you go:

Next time, ask a question instead of accusing people. If you just wanted to fork this for clout like Ryu, just say so.

Really hilarious that you need to dig into unrelated screenshots on Reddit, from almost a year ago, to prove some narrative about me.

The forum I was referring to was "d3hack"; I didn't even check the URL since it sounded like some random hacking forum. That part is my bad; and I definitely came off like a fool with that whole spiel. I can take the dunce cap for that. That being said I didn't see that linked anywhere on this repo until you just did. It being on the same GitHub account
I know what Discord is, I've been on it for years. That's not the "forum" I was referring to. I'm not a dinosaur.

That being said, now you've proven yourself to be a real asshole:

How does banning pirates from my GitHub/Discord prove anything about me? You just pointed to messages from people who got banned for piracy, from almost a year ago, as proof that I'm an asshole. I only ban from the GitHub org because of piracy. There's a lot of them.

My fork of Ryujinx isn't for clout, and it's open source software, unlike this thing; so you can see as much. You probably didn't check though, and that's fine; given I didn't do much research before I accused you, but you doing the same thing in response to me makes yourself look even more idiotic than I could possibly have been. I made a mistake, you pointed out my mistake....then made it yourself. Lol.

It's genuinely hilarious you've managed to try and turn this around back on me, calling my fork of Ryujinx "for clout." @Tonic-Box, this is the person you let have your code? Yikes.
If I wanted clout, I'd ask for donations, talk about this shit everywhere. But I don't, because I do it for the love of the project that gets no more updates, because of Nintendo. Faithfully maintaining open-source software to the best of your abilities is thankless work and many assholes such as yourself (and the people on Reddit) will just assume I don't do anything because I'm not wasting my time getting games with PC versions available to work flawlessly in the emulator.

Next time, ask a question instead of accusing people. If you just wanted to fork this for clout like Ryu, just say so.

For the record, I don't want to steal this shit. I have no interest in a fucking Diablo 3 Save Editor. I just wanted to use it, as I said, to mess with my save data on my local-only savedata in my Ryujinx instance. The code not being open made me want to check it not being a virus for myself; because I am a security-minded person, and don't blindly trust what people tell me. Your desperate need to make people feel like code thieves is on full display here, you narcissistic douche. Somehow I'm the narcissist though? Not sure how that could be...there's no rule in my Discord saying "you must worship me." Your only reason to think I "only forked Ryu for clout" and that I am a narcissist are Reddit comments (which in and of itself is hysterical) from pirate assholes who want everything for free and don't like me telling them to fuck off. Who's the one making accusations and assumptions now? Yet you're somehow so much bigger of a person than I am...? LOL. Get a fucking grip, and thank you for proving the point in my first reply. You ARE absolutely treating everyone as if they're out to steal your code, and it's kinda pathetic.

I didn't think any self-respecting dev would let someone else obfuscate their work

Obfuscating future releases with the permission of @Tonic-Box (after he changed the license), is completely different than locking down an existing open-source repo. You're conflating the two to fit your narrative.

Nice try, but their code is also included in the versions you made. Unless you mean to tell me you rewrote the entire thing.
Code has a license.
When you fork, it retains that license.
When you compile it with your own changes, it retains that license.
Nothing is being conflated.

[god-jester]

This will be my last reply because I have actual work to do, and you clearly have a lot of free time to write essays about why you aren't a narcissist.

You probably didn't check though... you doing the same thing in response to me makes yourself look even more idiotic

You're right, I didn't "dig" into your history. I didn't have to. To borrow your own logic: that thread "is the first result" when searching "GreemDev" asshole on Google.

I'm an adult with responsibilities; I'm not going to scour the Wayback Machine for internet drama. That doesn't make me a hypocrite. I didn't tell you to do "more research" before posting, I told you to try contacting the actual human beings involved before writing a dissertation on rights infringement.

The code not being open made me want to check it not being a virus for myself; because I am a security-minded person

If you were actually "security minded," you'd know how to use a sandbox or a VM and edit your save offline. You don't need source code to check for malware, that's day one stuff.

Also, this is packed with .NET Reactor, not Themida. It’s not exactly Fort Knox. There have been free deobf tools now that it's ~3 years later; maybe even on the first page of Google results?

Code has a license. When you fork, it retains that license. When you compile it with your own changes, it retains that license. Nothing is being conflated.

You are confidently incorrect about how copyright works. Code is property, not a sentient being. It does not "have" a license; the owner grants a license.

The copyright holder is not bound by the license they grant to others. They retain full ownership and can re-license, dual-license, or close-source their own IP at any time, or grant specific exceptions to others (me).

Since you like to "check facts," here is the FAQ from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) regarding the GPL:

Is the developer of a GPL-covered program bound by the GPL?

No. The developer of the software... is the copyright holder... The copyright holder can legally license the software to different parties under different licenses.

TonicBox (the copyright holder) gave me permission. End of story.

Speaking of TonicBox, stop tagging him. He already replied to this thread twice saying he changed the license on his end and has zero attachment to this scene anymore. He is doing compiler theory and has moved on. You should too.
