Atlas Fallen – A source in the Swamp Quest Bug Fix

The guide explains how to resolve a stuck situation in the “A source in the Swamp” speurtocht. There are several methods to address this issue, and one of them involves restarting the puzzle.

Aan de slag

1. Start by downloading and installing Python 3.
2. Volgende, get the Savegame utility called Altas Fallen Savegame.
3. Extract the contents of the “atlas-fallen-savegame-main.zip” bestand.
4. Nu, navigate to the Atlas Fallen savegame folder. You can find it at <path\to\steam>\userdata\<user id>\1230530\remote>.
5. Locate the most recently modified file with a name like “autosave*.sav” within that folder.
6. Copy this file and paste it into the folder you extracted in step 3.

Extract as JSON

You can run Command Prompt, PowerShell, or another suitable terminal in the utility folder and use the following command:

python savegame_body.py extract_json autosave.sav autosave.json

Here’s how to use this command:

• python savegame_body.py extract_json is the basic command to extract the body from a save file as JSON.
• <sav file in> should be replaced with the name of your input save file, Bijvoorbeeld, “autosave.sav.”
• <json body out> should be replaced with the desired name for the output JSON file, Bijvoorbeeld, “autosave.json.”

Aanvullend, there are some optional options you can use:

• --skip-era: This option skips processing the game-specific portion of the save game body. It may help with bugs or when dealing with new game versions.
• --keep-inner-json-as-string: Bij gebruik, this option will export the inner JSON as a raw string, preserving a 1:1 representation down to the characters.

Make sure to replace <sav file in> en <json body out> with the actual file names you intend to use, and you can also include any of the optional options as needed.

Editing .JSON File

1. Open the output file “autosave.json” with any text editor, such as Notepad.
2. Press Ctrl+F or open the Find window and type “lvl5_af_access_switch_puzzle_swamp.”
3. Scroll down until you find the “AccessSwitchFailed” sectie, which should look like this:

"AccessSwitchFailed": {
    "bool": vals
},

4. Replace the value “vals” met “WAAR” so that it looks like this:

"AccessSwitchFailed": {
    "bool": WAAR
},

Save the changes to the file.

By following these steps, you will have modified the “AccessSwitchFailed” value in the JSON file to be “WAAR” in plaats van “false.”

Compose and Save

1. Open your Terminal.
2. Type the following command:

python savegame_body.py compose_json autosave.sav autosave.json autosave1.sav --compress

Make sure to replace <sav file in>, <json body in>, en <sav file out> with your actual file names as needed.

This command will replace the body in a save file with the contents from a JSON representation. If you want to compress the contents, include the –compress option at the end of the command.

Move the Game Save File

1. Take the modified autosave1.sav file and put it in the savegame folder.
2. Close the game and then open it again.
