| Tool | Type | Best For | |------|------|----------| | QSP Save Editor GUI (by user "Nekromant" or similar) | Standalone .exe | Beginners – point, click, edit numbers/text | | QSP Game Explorer | Advanced tool | Viewing all variables and game structure | | Manual Hex Editor (HxD, 010 Editor) | Low-level | When other tools fail or for custom scripts | | Online QSP Save Editor | Web-based | Quick edits without downloads (use with caution) |
Different QSP modules use different naming conventions. Here’s a cheat sheet for popular games:
| Game Title | Common Health Var | Common Money Var | Quest Var Pattern |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Son of a Bitch (SoB) | i_hp, i_health | i_money, i_cash | i_quest_ or q_ |
| Era (any mod) | era_hp, st_hp | era_money, gold | era_flag_ |
| Fetish Locator | energy, health | dollars, credits | FL_week1_ |
| Generic QSP RPG | cur_hp, max_hp | gold_coins | done_, stage_ |
Pro Tip: If you can’t find a variable, search for a unique piece of text from the game screen. For example, if the game says "You have 50 gold," search for 50. The editor will show you the variable storing that 50.
Want to see what happens if you join the "evil faction" instead of the "good faction"? Edit the faction_loyalty flag and the quest_faction_joined variable.
This is your most important tool. Instead of scrolling through 2,000 variables, search for keywords:
Modified versions of the Quest Soft Player (like QSP Player with built-in cheat menu) allow on-the-fly editing. Look for "QSP Player Plus."
Many QSP games have checks like if health < 20 then goto death_scene. If you set health to 10,000 but the game never expects that value, it might fail to trigger the "win condition."
If you cannot get the dedicated editor to work, or if you want a more general approach, consider these alternatives:
| Problem | Likely Solution |
| :--- | :--- |
| Editor says "Not a valid QSP save" | The file might be compressed or encrypted. Some newer games use .qsp instead of .sav but require decryption first. |
| Changes don't appear in the game | You edited the wrong save file. Check your QSP player's save directory path. Also, ensure the game is fully closed before editing. |
| Editor crashes upon opening | Your save file is corrupted. Try a different editor version or use a hex editor as a last resort. |
| Can't find any meaningful variables | The game developer used obfuscated names (e.g., v0001, v0002). You will need to reverse-engineer the game script. |
