UFO AL - Savegame Editing - Problem Resolution Assistance

[JacobD88]

Hi all,

 

I'm new to the strategy core forums so i hope this is the correct place to post this.

 

I have a UFO:AL Savegame that i need to edit to remove some 1500 drones from my forces (tinkering/cheating with the console created them ), having unpacked the VFS file i am now clueless as to where to find all the drones to remove them, let alone how to simply strip them from my savegame (I don't want any of them)

 

Or even better is there a way to trash/sell these drones in-game to save me having to edit...

 

Unfortunately it has now got to the stage that i cannot save a game or continue with the existing save game as UFO:AL crashes on autosave (presumably due to the sheer number of drones in my forces) so i need rid of them. To be honest I'm not even sure why they are there, i never intentionally added them, i think it may have just been a by-product of adding more resources via the console, either way the game is now virtually unplayable, i just don't want to have to start all over again. If it's any use i can provide a copy of the save upon request

 

Any one who could give me a step-by-step procedure to remove all these robots from my team i would be thankful for your help.

 

Cheers

 

Jacob
