Assistance offer for the recent update

Hi, I saw in the python code that you were having trouble with implementing addition of overclock matrices since your test save only had 1 weapon and 1 cosmetic. At the moment, my save has 2 unforged weapon, 1 skin, and 2 accessories sitting in the forge. I haven't run a deep dive yet, so I don't have any blank cores. Would it be helpful for me to share my save file with you? I'd offer to help with the coding itself but I have absolutely zero programming experience, sorry.

yeah, that might be helpful

Great, should I put it up on google drive or something? I can do it midday tomorrow when I'm off work.

You should be able to attach your save file (or a zipped version) directly to this comment chain, but a google drive link is also fine. Thanks.

Hi, I looked at all the above save files and it helped me find these patterns in the new file format. These are some notes I've taken and hopefully they lead to a fix.

Further testing may be required, but this is what I've surmised so far: there are some values tracking the quantity of OCs. Inspecting the data with a hex editor shows where these values are.

After SchematicSave (first occurrence)

Location (search term)	Offset (how many bytes after the search term)	Data Format	Examples
StructProperty	second byte after	Some kind of counter that increments when you get an OC	86 04 grows to 96 04, F6 04 grows to 06 05

After OwnedSchematics (first occurrence)

Location	Offset	Data Format	Examples
ArrayProperty	second byte after	\x{4+qty}D, where qty is the number of OCs waiting to be forged.	\x5D for 1 OC, \xFD for 11, \x0D\x01 for 12
StructProperty	third byte after	\x{qty}	\x01 for 1 OC, \x0C for 12, \x10 for 16

After OwnedSchematics (second occurrence)

Location	Offset	Data Format	Examples
StructProperty	second byte	\x{qty 1s}0\x0{qty 16s}	\x10\x00 for 1 OC, \xC0\x00 for 12, \x00\x01 for 16

Any of these values not meeting the format will result in the game resetting progress on the file.

17 weapon, 4 cosmetic, been grinding since the new season came out.

so, after doing ALOT of digging, the values identified by @wahlp are storing the size (in bytes) of various parts of the file relating to the number of forged/unforged ocs, I detail the specifics in the code of my fork.

using this information, I believe I have fixed the issue, and my testing confirms this, I'll be creating a PR soon

now the only thing this project is missing is some of the most recent weapons and the OCs for them (specifically the "Nishanka Boltshark X-80", but there may be others)

[AnthonyMichaelTDM]

I'll be creating a PR soon

done, #45

for rock and stone!

This is great news! I think the save file I put up has a lot of the new overclocks. I think almost a dozen? I'm writing this via email, so I can't check. Which hopefully helps in identifying.

yeah, I believe scout, engineer, and driller are missing their most recently added secondaries (the "Nishanka Boltshark X-80", "Shard Diffractor", and "Colette Wave Cooker" respectively)
