LSC Save Editor?
Rick_Locker:
Is there a save editor for Liberal Crime Squad anywhere? I've been using cheat engine to change skills but it takes a lot of time and I can only do 1 skill at a time on one person. So I wanted to ask is there any way to edit saves?
SlatersQuest:
Editing some things in LCS is very easy if you have a hexidecimal editor, including most aspects of your liberals as well as values for laws, public opinion, etc. Any hex editor will do. Unfortunately, adding people to the game is a lot more difficult.
The Terra Vitae mod includes a wide variety of cheat commands which were originally included for debugging purposes, but they work great for setting up scenarios, too, including making the game more difficult instead of less.
Rick_Locker:
I'm trying to use HxD but in the text-string all I'm getting are characters I don't understand. Here's the first line of text on the 48 bytes per row setting:
¤œ..¿h3Ñ|u™_]Ç...»%è..............Þ.............
I don't understand any of that. And there are a lot of these as well: ÿ
I'm not a programmer, I don't understand code or hex at all and the last three times I tried to learn I got a headache with the last attempt causing something to pop and knocking me into bed for a day.
I just want to edit the squad's skills in a way that's faster and easier then cheat engine that also lets me edit attributes, but I'm starting to think such a way doesn't exist.
Funk:
Ues note pad ++, that way you can edit more then one stat at a time.
ignore the funny text, what your after is just the text.
Keep a back up, you will mess things up.

All of the hex editors that I have ever used have had a window that tells you what the number values for each character in the hex file is, as well as the characters themselves (like that string of 48 bytes you just gave me). You need to pay attention to these numbers as well.
All of the skills and attributes are stored as an HTML script in the latter part of the the save file, though, so they're stored as text. The order of the skills is in the order they are in the code, though, so that won't help you, but you can edit the attributes easily enough.
You are correct though in that there is no transparent and simple way to edit LCS save files without learning to program and modifying the game executable. What I recommend is that you start playing the Terra Vitae Mod (which I created, so I know how it works and can change it), and then start using the cheat commands that I provide with the game and provide documentation on how to use. If there is any cheat command that you want and which isn't there, you can post a request for it on that thread and I can put one in for you.
