I'm making this thread to hopefully spark some interest in an XP hack. I recently saw this post on TTG where this guy explained (VERY roughly) how to do an XP hack for RDR. I've tried to figure out what he was saying and I've done multiple trials but with no avail. I'm going to dissect what he said and break it down for you guys. I believe we are VERY close to figuring this out!
THIS DOES NOT WORK AT THE MOMENT I REPEAT, THIS DOES NOT WORK AT THE MOMENT!, and thats exactly why I started this thread. I did not steal this, I'm not taking credit for what that user on TTG found, I'm simply BRINGING IT TO NGU. and creating a waaay more easy tutorial to follow. so before you get mad at me for writing this saying its incomplete, try to make sense of that other guys tutorial on TTG and then tell me which tut makes more sense!

O.K. Let's Begin.

Let's start. First get on your PS3 and copy your Red Dead Redemption 'Multiplayer' file to your USB.

Plug it into the computer, and find this folder:

Then open up your RAGE.SAV file up with your hex editor:

You should then see the SAV file opened and all of the characters:

Next, we need the Float to Hex Converter, link below:

Now here is one part of his post that I'm a little confused on:

I'm not sure if he means how much XP in total you have, or how much XP you need to level up to the next level.

But either way this is what you would do.

Enter "how much EXP you have" into this box:

After you've entered the XP amount, then click the 'Not Rounded' Button to the right:

Then you will see a bunch of numbers fill all of the empty boxes.

What this has done was changed the numerical XP amount that you have over to HEX code. So under the 'Single precision' Category you take the HEX for the XP:

Then you Copy the FIRST 4 digits of that number.

Open your RAGE.SAV file back up in the Hex Editor, then hit CTRL+F to find, then change the search mode from text string, to hex values (this means it will search the entire file for that XP Hex code)

You must login or register to view this content.

after changing it, paste the hexadecimal code into the search bar.:

Then it will automatically find that four digit code for your XP:

Now this is the part he didn't explain well.

The first time I tried this I once it was highlighted I copied his number 497424 and pasted it over the old XP Hex that was there.
Then I got this message:

I Hit OK and it changed the number but made the file larger when I saved it.

But basically all you would do after this step, is save the file and then safely remove your USB then plug it into your PS3 then over-write the old 'Multiplayer' save with the edited one.

Here is where we need to figure this out as a community.

You must login or register to view this content.

First of all, we need to figure out if he means how much XP in total you have, or how much XP you need to level up to the next level.

Secondly, we need to figure out if the six digit code he provided us is even the right code. I don't know how he came up with that number. one possible thing is that we should figure out how much XP it takes to get to level 50 and put that number instead of the random 497424.

-EDIT-

Here is the exact amount of XP to reach level 50! 337110 then once it is converted to hexidecimal the HEX code is: 48A49AC0. I don't know if we should try using the whole code, or just the first four. but that's the exact amount for level 50.

TEST THOSE XP NUMBERS!


I've seen all of the threads asking for this hack for PS3, well this is our chance. let's all come together, post what we find. I do believe this method is the correct way, because the RDR Multiplayer Rank is saved in that SAV file. they don't save your rank online like Call of Duty does. So in the end we need somebody who understands a lot about HEX editing. Let's try to really work on this, somebody will find out how to do it we are so close. If you think I interpreted something wrong in his tutorial, take a look at his and tell me what you think.

That video above isnt for the ps3, i've looked over 4 diff files for the RIDEABLE_MOUNT text string and the Title, thats only found in the xbox save file, maybe instead of trying to hex edit the xp values move away and try to unlock gamesharing, i thought i found it but it lead me to yet another dead end. it has to be in the rage.sav file because theres no alternative, so here we can try to find other things to change,
we cant change xp values for gang hideouts or NPC's as thats in game and would affect everyone
we cant change our xp values.( lets hope im wrong)
the ps3 save is encrypted, its made so if you make multiple backups, they'll all be in a different format ( the way the codes are arranged )
maybe we should try to find similar fragments in each save file and decode what they are,

i could try it but in all honesty im not comfortable trying track down each individual line of the code in the rage.sav im afraid that this has been my first foray into hex editing and im not very good at it :( im afraid someone more proficient than i am will have to try this i guess :P

I don't know if this will help anyone but its a unique situation that may help point someone in the right direction. My PS3 just YLOD so I got a slim. I first tried to load my save multiplayer file and it failed. I signed in for the first time and once connected I synced the trophy's with server and then loaded my multiplayer file. It worked perfect. Im glad I didnt have to go from level 1 again. Anyways thought this might help with some in-site to how the file is attached to your ps3.

You can take your multiplayer file to another machine but it looks for you to be logged in. So you might be able to use someones level 50 file if you can find the user name it is looking for and change it to yours. Just a thought!

This might work. The only issue we might run into is as soon as someone logs back into their account, the file might show up corrupted or not there.

Sorry its off topic but here is Thermal Imaging on PS3 slim playing Red Dead Redemption. It what I do for a living and thought it might be interesting to see.

If anyone is having problems with the old one over heating I can show where the problem is and where to vent it.

PS3 Sav file is encrypted

If we know what the xbox sav file looks like decrypted then we just need to find out the cryption the ps3 sav uses then we can search for the hex value of the exp. Until we can decrypt the save file, any change you make will be completely useless. Turn your attention to trying different cryptions, but most probably the sav file uses a "key cryption" and if so, its game over.

Unless you talk to a RDR ps3 developer =).

Guy I do not even care if you -rep. Please tell me you are not serious! I'll make a correction then I bet this GLITCH wasn't even found by yourself if it really does exist! This (again) is a forum for sharing not requesting things.

lol "take back your comment or me and my friends will -rep" please do -rep me I would love nothing more but to have as many -reps as I can get you make it sound like I really care!
