Pro tip: edit the dd.bat file add at the end of the file pause now it will not close once finished, so if something go wrong you will be able to see the error message.
Thanks for the tip, but I don't know what to do next "Error: Unable to access jarfile dd.jar" so it doesn't do the thing, I have Windows 10 x64 can anyone help? I tried to change some users accessabilty properties for it but it doesn't help.
Install Java Have 4 files in 1 folder ddsavetool.exe dd.bat dd.jar ddda.sav
move ddda.sav to ddsavetool to create ddda.sav.xml move ddda.sav.xml onto dd.bat it will create ddda.sav.xml_NEW.xml rename old ddda.sav.xml to ddda.sav.backup to keep a backup copy rename ddda.sav.xml_NEW.xml to ddda.sav.xml move newly renamed ddda.sav.xml onto ddsavetool to create ddda.sav move ddda.sav into the ddda game save folder.
However, your instructions; "1) Unpack your save file using DDsavetool 2) Drag it onto dd.bat 3) Repack the generated file using DDsavetool 4) Rename it and put it back into your saves directory" aren't phrased quite right.
It should actually say: 1) Unpack your DDDA.sav (file type SAVE) save using DDsavetool 2) Drag your internal save (the one that came OUT of your SAVE file, it should be a XML type file) onto dd.bat 3) Once dd.bat closes (which should be instantly), rename DDDA.sav.xml_NEW to DDDA.sav 4) Now take DDDA.sav (XML) and drag it onto DDsavetool and move your DDDA.sav (SAVE) once finished to your save directory
Great, now the DDsavetool guy reprogrammed it only to accept "DDDA.sav.xml_NEW" files, and this programmer did as as well by putting out "DDDA.sav.xml" files only, so now you actually need to add '_NEW' to repack it properly.
In case it helps anyone else out, instead of doing drag/drop actions you can do all the steps from the command prompt with the files needed sitting on your desktop:
C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\Users\NAME\Desktop\
C:\Users\NAME\Desktop>Dsavetool.exe -u DDDA.sav Unpacked save to DDDA.sav.xml
C:\Users\NAME\Desktop>dd.bat DDDA.sav.xml
C:\Users\NAME\Desktop>Dsavetool.exe -r -pc DDDA.sav Repacked save to DDDA.sav

Have 4 files in 1 folder
ddsavetool.exe
dd.bat
dd.jar
ddda.sav
move ddda.sav to ddsavetool to create ddda.sav.xml
move ddda.sav.xml onto dd.bat
it will create ddda.sav.xml_NEW.xml
rename old ddda.sav.xml to ddda.sav.backup to keep a backup copy
rename ddda.sav.xml_NEW.xml to ddda.sav.xml
move newly renamed ddda.sav.xml onto ddsavetool to create ddda.sav
move ddda.sav into the ddda game save folder.
