Download the ZIP, and if you want to use the save file where all objectives are available as a fully upgraded Mega Bull Shark, copy the save files _00000000000000000_maneater_save_0.sav and _00000000000000000_maneater_save_0_backup.sav and paste them to: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Maneater\Saved\SaveGames
Rename my save files as your Steam ID number which is your own Steam ID number so copy your Steam ID number to replace "00000000000000000" on my save files. Make sure you backup your personal save files before you'll replace them with my save files. The Steam ID number varies per Steam user for their save files for any game.
Make sure you also own the DLC "Truth Quest"! I also think you need to 100% the base game and its DLC to get all achievements as well.
I'm not exactly sure if it does work if you didn't 100% the base game and its DLC. But I wouldn't want to risk that if I do. If you hadn't 100% the base game and its DLC, try to collect and complete everything you can.
For some objectives mostly for Apex bosses that goes like "ME_KillObjectiveDead", make sure the word "EObjectiveState::COMPLETED" is "EObjectiveState::AVAILABLE".
Or you can just replace your save file with my save file where everything is reactivated. You should also read "my_save_file_notes.TXT" where the code for every objective I reactivated have their objective titles to make them more clear and recognizable such as "OOH, BARRACUDA(S" is the Apex Barracuda objective. I recommend using Notepad++ to read through it as well as on the save files themselves.
Cool save, is there any way to disable all the ! markers or hide them? they take up like the entire screen and its really distracting and obstructive
Figured out all you have to do is open the map, and hit the "Track" key on all the objective markers to disable them from appearing on hud, kinda annoying but it should only take a minute or two and you only need to do it once
Not sure if you'll read this 8 months later but thanks! It works, only minor issue is that there are objective markers EVERYWHERE in game which isn't really an issue as they disappear once it's completed however they also appear in grotto but entering and leaving won't complete the objective so the markers for grotto are always there and can't seem to get rid of them though
I've had that issue before when I was in the process of progressing the game while saving scripts of most objectives to reactivate them. Those are just objectives that leads you to a Grotto before the next story objectives appear (if you play the game normally). But yeah, no big deal. Not like they're worth completing. The real fun are Population Control, Terrorize, Time Trial, fighting Hunted predators, and fighting bosses all over again including Infamies.
Absolute mega job here. Only question is if in all your tinkering if you figured out how to reset infamy rank back to 1? That's really the only thing I am looking for for the most part.
Would have been nice if the devs just gave us the option in game to reset infamy to 0 as well as repeat the Apex Boss fights, so on and so forth.
This would be hard for me to explain. If I remember correctly, killing any hunter gives you bounty points that ranks up your Infamy Rank. Once you do that, the Infamy script in the save file is created. Then I quit the game and looked through a backup file and copied a script of another objective script like a cutscene that is suppose to be unlocked after reaching a certain Infamy Rank required to progress the story, then replaced the Infamy script with that objective script. Then the game gets no errors.
There were times when I have to figure out how to unlock shark levels beyond 30 which was the hardest issue I've ever encountered until I figured out how to reset the Infamy Rank for Port Clovis Infamy during Truth Quest to be able to level up beyond level 30. Something to do with replacing the script that involves achievement and Infamy boss kill scripts from another backup's scripts to continue the game with no problem if I remember correctly... This one is also hard to explain.
I tried to use that old method for the Truth Quest Infamy, so I just added a script of an objective that gets unlocked after reaching Plover Island Infamy Rank 6 to skip the objective that wants you to reach max Infamy Rank in that island. It's no big deal when I did that. I am also glad that the cancelled DLC "Omega City" never happened because that would mean more work for me to be honest. This may sound harsh for this game but I kinda hope they won't make a sequel. But even if the game's sequel might be real one day, the save file system for that possible game might be very different from its predecessor and I may not be able to reactivate every objective like before.
I apologize if all this sounds confusing. I've been through a lot trying to make the best save file possible for this game for anyone to experience with the power of my brain and backups.
Thanks for making us the mom folder too. You can disable the destroy 3 bounty hunters objective and music by doing the mission where you kill Pele (Or Pete I forgot). If you could do the same but change the age to teen I would be very happy. Or if you could tell me how to change my age to teen because I m annoyed at how big is my shark. Thank you
I only used Cheat Engine with this Table by SunBeam where if you press the "Up" key, you age up. "Down" key is age down. https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?t=17577
That's the only best way you can do. I also found that if you eat anything as a Pup, Teen, or Adult in this save, the game automatically levels you up up to level 27 for some reason. I think the game still remembers how much XP I've earned in the save file which is why it levels up my shark to that level. Going to a Grotto evolves your shark at that level. I tried replacing the XP script with a different one from a different backup or new save, the game freezes. That Cheat Table is the only best option but nothing I can do to prevent the shark in any age from leveling up instantly from eating anything and becoming a suddenly oversized Pup, Teen, or Adult.
If you used a different modified save file where you can play as the Mother Bull Shark, no XP or currency can be earned and cannot equip any sets and organs. As long as you leave Crawfish Bay alone (cannot get rid of Pete and his voicelines and can't remove hunters in that area), you can go anywhere as the Mother. Makes this game into "Nightmare Mode" or "Mother's Hell". That save file is just for fun and maybe a challenge. I don't think it's possible to beat Truth Quest as the Mother Bull Shark. A lot of large predators can easily destroy you. And definitely cannot beat the Atomic Leviathan.
Been wanted this mod for a while now. Thanks for the mod, only minior issue is that, all the icon even marked as done is still on the map. But again, minor thing.
And there is a bug with base destroy, in short, I can't destory it with the automic tail swip, when the health is 0, the quest won't be marked as done.
