Appendix A: Pseudocode Logic for a Basic Editor

// Conceptual logic for an RMMZ Save Editor
function loadSaveFile(fileContent) 
    // 1. Decompress the file using LZString library
    // Note: RMMZ uses specific settings for compression
    let jsonString = LZString.decompressFromBase64(fileContent);
// 2. Parse JSON into a manipulable Object
    let saveData = JSON.parse(jsonString);
return saveData;
function editGold(saveData, newAmount) 
    // Navigate the object tree
    // $gameParty._gold is the standard location for currency
    if (saveData && saveData.$gameParty) 
        saveData.$gameParty._gold = newAmount;
return saveData;
function saveFile(saveData) 
    // 1. Stringify the object
    let jsonString = JSON.stringify(saveData);
// 2. Compress the string
    let output = LZString.compressToBase64(jsonString);
return output;

Minimal workflow for using an rmmzsave editor

  1. Backup the target save file.
  2. Open the save in the editor.
  3. Locate the section to edit (actor, inventory, switches/variables, map).
  4. Make changes and validate them if the editor offers checks.
  5. Save/export the modified file.
  6. Load the modified save in the game and verify expected behavior.

If you want, I can provide a short step-by-step example for creating a test save (e.g., max-level party and all items) or show how to edit switches and variables safely. Which example would you prefer?

Goal: Add 50,000 gold and give a Buster Sword (weapon ID 12) to actor 1.

  2. Find "system" → change "gold" to 50000
  3. Find "actors" → index 0 (actor 1) → "equips" array
