Please Help Me Get 'The Witcher Save Editor' Working!

Recently I've been playing The Witcher Enhanced and I've been loving it. Although I must be an unlucky user because my experience in Chapter Two has been extremely frustrating due to the presence of game breaking bugs which have caused me to lose hours of playing time, going back to old saves to try and find out what I did wrong only to find new game-breaking bugs the second time round.

During 'A Mysterious Tower', the two times I've attempted to play through the quest have been to no avail due to the fact that simply cannot complete it. Some of the sephirots just vanish completely from my inventory and others are not given to me by those who are supposed to. I seriously love the game and I need to get past this frustrating level, so I was wondering if anybody could give me a hand in getting the fan-made 'Save Game Editor' functioning.

I'm not sure if anybody has had experience getting it working but I'm no Java whiz and seriously need to get this application up and running in order to manually place the missing sephirots in my inventory in order to complete the quest. The read-me is extremely vague and offers no help to me and while there are a heap of forum posts they all seem to be tailored to other people's needs. The main issue is that whenever I try and get the editor to work this message comes up:

Exception during program initialization

java.io.IOException: Unable to locate The Witcher installation directory

TWEditor.Main.main(Main.java:166)

I have no idea what that means but I assume the application can't find where the game's installation folder is, but I have no idea how to fix it!

I really don't want to download somebody elses save game because it's not 'my game' so unless I want to try and replay the entire tedious section again with the risk of encountering the same problem, I HAVE to get this editor working. I don't think the problem would be with the game itself because it's the latest edition and patch but it seems that some other people have been having this issue during their playthroughs. It must be due to obtaining the sephirots in a funny order, but I don't care. I'd rather just get the editor working.

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and hopefully somebody will get back to me soon with clear instructions on how to get it working

Before we get to the editor . Are you scrolling to the left/right by using the arrows to see the full quest inventory items .


In order to be able to give instructions on the save editor can you tell me where the game is installed to ? Did you also install the game as administrator ?

Hello,

Welcome to the forums, the Sephirot stones....I remember posting on these forums about something similar to this. My first play through of TWEE it was fine but I played it again and experienced the bug with " Vizima Confidential " and Raymond ( he actually gives his stone at some point ).

You may like to check on that as well, I am not one to write spoilers so I will leave it there, some others may be able to tell you more.

Take care and I hope you get it resolved.



Cheers.

I'm using the EE version and here is from the read me:

The game install directory is located by scanning the Windows registry. If this scan fails or if the game files are located in a different directory, you can specify the game install directory when starting the editor. This is done by specifying -DTW.install.path="" on the java command line where is the directory containing dialog.tlk. For example, if the game files are located in C:\Games\The Witcher and the editor is installed in C:\Games, the shortcut would look like this:

javaw -DTW.install.path="C:\Games\The Witcher" -jar TWEditor.jar

Don't forget to put double quotes around the path name.
