(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); You need two things:

-Hashtab
-BruteCRC32

Get HashTab from [You must login or register to view this content.] and right click an original file that is unedited and get its CRC32 hash, write it down / copy and paste it into notepad.

Edit the file with all your DVARS, save it, and look at the new hash, it's different. That's where BruteCRC32 comes in.
(The DVARS are all in the Console MP log. You must login or register to view this content.)

Download BruteCRC32 from [You must login or register to view this content. and open it, and then point it to the file you edited, and force it to have the CRC that you copy and pasted / wrote down earlier.

The program will appear to freeze, but it's just doing its job. Leave it alone, and you have an "original" save to use!

If anything needs to be cleared up, ask.

Example, let's say I was just editing GPAD0_MP.

You must login or register to view this content.
Using Hashtab I see the original CRC hash.
I then edit it, and get a different one below:

Then I use BruteCRC32 to "force" the new hash to become the old one, like it was never edited. See?

Can you just add it anywhere into the savegame?

No, you'd want to add it under $command_mapname like in the other thread.

nope there is certain addresses that each thing belongs too, but heres the thing there ARE nop(no operation) areas that are blank and you COULD write any data there BUT there is no way currently to branch it or use a pointer to bring it to usable memory. :(
