darkSpyro

Thank you, Pyrofer! I don't have acess to the Giants Wii exploit just yet, so this is much more convenient :3

(No I don't have the game yet, but I want to sell the fire crystal from the starter to make some money back and I won't get another crystal to play with the creator for a while)

Question- is there currently any way to save backups of crystals?

Yeah, just put on the portal..Either autosave or hit save.. it will save the current crystal on the portal.

Quote: Pyrofer

The need to write to a figure after hitting reset is my solution to the "Are you sure?" pop ups. I hate them.
So unless you write to the figure nothing changes. Same goes for saving the data. Unless you hit save, it doesn't go onto your db backup.

I hope this slight change makes peoples lives easier.

BTW, I still can't recover a destroyed crystal. It's being worked on by others though.

you are so awesome pyrofer! i was checking this thread everyday and started losing hope! my hope is restored.. Thank you!

Thank you for the update!

This is awesome! Much easier than the way I used to do it

Now if only there was a new way of upgrading, seems as though there's no development in that area...

Just one question though, can traps still be reset using this updated version even though it says "reset crystal" (I suppose, reset crystal can also mean traptanium crystal right? )

btw.. do you guys find it takes a little while for the game to register your creation cyrstal after it's been reset or is it just me?

Thank you for showing up and giving up your free time to add this feature, Pyfofer. =)

Yes, I've always found that it takes much longer than usual for a crystal to show up in Imaginators after using the Fix CRC / Reset Crystal method. I think it's because forcibly resetting a crystal (either with Pyrofer's tool, or by using a 3DS or Wii) requires the game to repair or re-initialise the crystal.

When I write a backup dump back to a crystal, for example, it takes the usual brief time before it reads in Imaginators.

First i want to say thanks so much to Pyrofer for his software!
I've been watching this thread for long time, but could only now register ))
sorry for my english,please...)

i have some question about using Skylanders GUI Tool

1-how to make multiple backup of the same figure with different upgrade path?
can i rename it? or I can have only one copy of each figure in Database ?

i want not to be confused with multiple backups
(for example -Spyro left path and Spyro Right path)

2-is it possible to apply the backup to another the same figure, or it may be applied only to the figure at which the dump was?
for example can i use my friends backup of 2 series Spyro figure for my 2 series Spyro?


3-What is functionality of this buttons - import, Fix crc, raw dump and block (read,Up, down)

Thanks!

1. Backup the figure and just edit the "file" in the dump folder ie 1234567_right or 1234567_left. When your ready to rewrite to figure just delete "_right or left then load figure and rewrite !

2. No, the UID of the dumps differ !

3. If you have to ask..

I try rename file in dump folder , but after this it displayed in database as no data

it would be nice if it were possible to change the title or make a note in the program directly, without lost it in database
when you have 50 skylanders with two path saved, It will be great confusion and pain to manually change all the names and return them back

I still have questions
Why do more than half of my Skylanders have checksum error displayed?

they new and dont have any problem in game

and why quests displayed randomly?
i have not any quests complited with my Stelth elf, but it shows 11 quests in list

level displayed uncorrectly also

When you save your dump, its something you you identify. In order to rewrite it, you have to change it to the original name

such as figure A : original dump is 12345678, copy from dump folder to another folder.
figure A upgrade right: dump will be 12345678, rename it to 12345678_right then save to the other folder.

if u decide to go from upgrade to original, place original 12345678 back in dump folder, load and write to figure.
if u want to go to right upgrade again, copy and rename 12345678_right to 12345678 and put it in dump folder, load and write to figure.

Got it?

Checksum errors have nothing to do with your original figures.. ignore it !

Quote: Pyrofer

New! Improved! (not much!)

Now with 100% more crystal resetyness!

Warning, side effects may include resetting your crystals (when you click the button to do so).

ALWAYS BACKUP YOU FIGURES/CRYSTALS first and store that backup in a safe place.

Not entirely sure if I'm missing something, but couldn't this be used to share imaginators? If you backed up your imaginator, sent the file around and someone else restored it on one of their crystals? Could this be used to trade parts sensei exclusive parts?

Not as far I'm aware, but I'm not a coding guru.

Each figure has a unique id therefore you couldn't take a raw dump of your magic handles and send it to me to write back to my magic handles.

Absolutely NOT ! each figure and crystal has a unique UID. Can't be shared like that at ALL.

but which function in this case takes the button IMPORT ?
I thought it for add to my database dump that were not in the list
or?

I think this might be possible, but only if the recipient has the exact same crystal mold as you.

It's NOT possible even if u rename the dump. Each one has a unique UID.

Import function isn't for the average user.

So every individual trap in the world has its own UID number? For some reason, I didn't think Activision would go to those lengths. O.o

Just for comparison, what do other people get when they view their starter pack fire crystal in the tool? I get:

2ad (685) - 3ffd9d9e

my starter pack crystal has
2ad(685)-7fb0fc8d
yes, all ID is unique
as serial number

but its possible to have backape of all 10 battle class for one fire clistall
is it true ?

No... each is different.. ;(

why no?
i can create my Brawler Imaginator and backup it
Than reset and create Bowslinger imaginator and backup it
Than reset and do the same with other classes and backup
Now in Gui Tools i can choose what backup i want use with my cristal
isnt it?

sorry, i receive my PS4 PRO only yesterday and only try to play for some minutes and It did not have time to check it ....

Oh u mean it like that.. sure.. I misunderstood.. I apologize.

OK)))
Does this version Gui Tool correctly work with all Imaginators figure?
can i use it without the risk of damage chip data?
because it displayed all figure as no data and only number of figure a available

It works for upgrading..

kewl !

now i will be use version that Pyrofer upload not long ago, with reset crystal inscription)))

Can you expand on this please?

Thanks! I find that more easy for me just dublicate folder with Gui Tools and use it for different path saves
In this case, i need only to rename folder, dont need rename any dumps back and forth

Which VERSION of SGTool ?

Version 3...should I be downgrading?

Thanks for the app, works great. Personally I stopped at Swap Force, still haven't completed that.

Quick question. I got the app and the key. I guess there is a way to edit the files? I would like to give my Skylanders some more gold. Is that possible with your app? If so, how would I go about it? I checked the raw dump in hex editor but couldn't really find anything obvious.

Edit: Just read that no. Nmd.

Can I use this program to put the Heroics back that Imaginators stupidly removed?

If so can someone please let me know how it’s done, thanks.

Can you tell more about what Imaginators doing with Heroics? i dont know nothing about this....

If you take ownership of a Skylander in Imaginators, it wipes out the Heroics earned from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure.

Sk gui tools can help you only if you make backup before
this tools doesnt make any editing in figure Data, only backupe, restore and reset

Hi all, I've read that is possible to backup and clean/write crystals of imaginators, but is also possible to do this with sensei (for example for different path)?

Also, the imaginators portal work? And anyone have tryed to write a crystal/sensei after in-game death for play again?

Quote: Peppins

And anyone have tryed to write a crystal/sensei after in-game death for play again?

I have not tried it, but I'm sure that this will not work
i think game will remember the ID of your toy, and if you rewrite it with Gui Tools, its still be the same ID
and it will be-///your skylander needs to rest///))))

Yeah none of that works...

It's all bound to the profile of your console which identifies the ID of your toy.

You can't take a backup of a factory default sensei/crystal, load it in game, claim the chests you get, restore your save and then put it on the portal to reclaim more chests. I can only assume this is due to the ID of the toy which is bound to your console profile - not save.

Wont work !

But is possible to take a backup of crystal with imaginator on it, later reset the crystal to be able to use again in game for different classes right (i've read this above that is possible)? I don't want chest and now i'm talking about normal game not after death...

Also is possible to backup sensei for use different path (after in-game reset) and rewrite later?

ps. i've tryed to do a backup of my crystal, the dump is only 1kb, is normal?

how i can add dump of my figure do database? I saved it earlier, but put it in a separate folder
now i try recover it
so, i put dump in dump folder, but Software didnt recognizes it (it have empty Database)
i try import, but nothing happens...

put in the dump folder and load dump not import ! when loading the dump what was it save as... 1234 is different from the uid the dump is saved as in the dump folder !

thanks and sorry, i cant understand...
i have Gui with empty database. have dmp in dumps folder
have i can add it to database ?
Load figure dont work

Put the figure on the portal...

hm...i put figure on portal-my figure load (Gill Grunt)
my old dump i put in DUMPS folder
click -File-load figure-and -nothing happens (no entries in DB-no Data)
if i click-save figure -it rewrite my old dump, not load it
but i want load my old dump, not my new figure state

make sure the dump name wasn't altered in any way.. it should load.. if not I dont have a clue what u may have done ..

use the "auto-save" function for future use !

thanks, crstofer !
I really like this program, but! ..
There are several very important things that create big problems and discomfort

1- there is no possibility to rename dumps in program
file must be independent of the figures ID, i must have ability to rename dumps as i want. its just name. its didnt change file value

2-it should be possible to have many damps of the same figure inside tools
I want have many dumps of the same figure (unused,left path, right path, all heroic , etc.)
and i want to rename all this dump as i need, not to be confused

3 - i must have possibility to add to DATABASE any my old dumps file that i have (which I did in the previous version of the program, or I just downloaded an new empty program without database )
Because, even if I have save a dumps, I can not use it, since I can not add it to database !

These three things make the program very uncomfortable if you have a lot of figures and dumps,....

This application wasn't written and / or created for what your requesting. "Pyrofer's" application served a purpose to him and he just shared his work for others to use as he intended. The version you have is simple and easy to use for the user. Much appreciated for his hard work and efforts. THANKS !

For what your trying to do, I would just you use "skylanders editor" !

i always say big thanks to Pyrofer for his work !his Tool work much better then Editor, no problem with reconect, fine and informative interface
I was just trying to say the problems of users, and I'm sure not only for me...

i just try recover my figure from my old backup, and i cant do this, because there is no possibility to add dumps to database

i try again, and load figure dont work, because it load figure from database, not dumps folder/ if you backup your dumps earlier and this dumps not in your database now, you cant use this dumps....

I have a different version but it should work for u. Follow me:

Light Crystal (123) : backup(1) original, backup(2) brawler, backup(3) ninja
all have the same uid.dmp but my data has them as uid_original.dmp, uid_brawler.dmp, uid_ninja.dmp

I want to use ninja: put uid_ninja.dmp in dump folder "ninja"
load up gui
put light crystal on portal
load 123
then write
BAM !!! my create ninja in crystal..
DONT delete the create database ie 123
but if u do, put cyrstal on portal save then delete that uid.dmp and replace with whatever u want to use, load 123, then write to figure

crstofer, big thanks!
i understood, you just using replace method instead of adding old file to database.
ok, i just tried to go another way and failed)))
