Pour remettre SKILLS A zéro:
"It´s possible. I switches my combat mage from fire to death magic. Then my fighter from 2h to dual wield. Then my nature mage from ice to pet/buff specialization.
Here´s how you do it. Don´t forget to back up.
1) Get an updated version of tankviewer (tankviewer.exe) that can do Dungeon Siege 2 files. I found mine at planetdungeonsiege.com forums in the modding section.
2) Open and extract name.ds2party file with tankviewer in a separate directory. Then you need to modify the character file that´s called member_#.ds2 . Then # corresponds to the position of the character in question starting from the top and counting from zero (zero for your main character).
3) Open the .ds2 file in a hexeditor (for example, a freeware program called hexeditior), and do find for the skill name you want to reset. For example, "Grim Necromancy" would be "grim_necromancy" in this file. For example:
thunderous_shot staggering_blow summon_alacrity grim_necromancy ½ï@ @A invulnerability bursting_missile
4) Make the following modifications to set skill to zero (Grim Necromancy in this case): a) you need make
"grim_necromancy ½ï@ @A invulnerability"
look like this
"grim_necromancy invulnerability"
In hexeditor, the space between two skill names should be all zeros, except that you should leave the fourth byte from the right (before the next skill name starts)unchanges. This is what the strings above should look like in hexeditor before and after:
before - 67 72 69 6D 5F 6E 65 63 72 6F 6D 61 6E 63 79 00 00 00 00 00 BD EF 40 00 00 40 41 0F 00 00 00 69 6E 76 75 6C 6E 65 72 61 62 69 6C 69 74 79
after - 67 72 69 6D 5F 6E 65 63 72 6F 6D 61 6E 63 79 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0F 00 00 00 69 6E 76 75 6C 6E 65 72 61 62 69 6C 69 74 79
5) Now you need to recompress the files into .ds2party back. Get "tank creator" or "rapid tank creator" software (available everywhere, google). Start it and set the correct directory for input .ds2 files and the output file (name.ds2party). Click on advanced button. Open the original copy of name.ds2party and copy and paste the following information (from Action/Tank info menu) from original file into advanced settings of the new file : title, author, and copyright info. Click on Misc button. Check the "allow multiplayer transfer" radio button. Create new name.ds2party file.
6) Now you need to modify this file so DS2 would recognize it. Open the new name.ds2party file in hexeditor and make the following changes:
a) at offset 0h: 44 53 67 32 54 61 6E 6B
b) at offset 08h: 00 01 01 00
c) at offset 03ch: 21 47 50 47
d) at offset 01ch: 2C 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
6) Save the new name.ds2party file and copy it over the old one. Load the game and enjoy."
