Serial Version Edit

Converts BL3 item serial codes into equivalents at other versions.

Background

If you've ever tried downpatching your game you've probably noticed it makes all your items disappear. This tool helps avoid that.

Your save file contains all items stored as serial codes. Each serial code has a version embedded in it, and when the game loads your character it completely ignores any serial codes with a greater version than what it can handle. Unfortuantly, whenever the game saves your character, it saves the serial codes at the latest version, even if it could fit into an earlier one. This is why items disappear - they're all at the latest vesion, so older game versions cannot handle them.

This tool lets you convert the serial codes to other versions, so hopefully you can find a version of the code that an older patch of the game will load.

All this only applies to the Steam version. The Epic version likely works similarly, but I can't test.

This might not be the best way of doing these things, but knowing the process might be helpful for finding similar ones in other unreal games.

I originally found the pointers on OAK-PATCHWIN64-79 (aka the cartel event patch) if you want to double check addresses. Unfortuantly I wasn't able to find nice AOB scans to easily convert them to other versions, but having knowledge of how they should work already makes it easier.
