Help/Support [HELP] Problem with locating and editing reward values on Naval Craft

LivingItUp4now · April 14, 2015

Hello Everyone!

So, this shall be my first post. As the title states I am having some problems trying to locate the files that contain the values for rewards when you beat a level in Naval Craft. The reason I am looking to edit the reward values is because every time you edit your profile data (your experience, coins and gems) the game seems to over write the code if you have not either purchased or played enough games to require that amount to currency. No matter what I do, I cannot get the value to change, therefore I am currently looking to see if maybe I changed the initial tutorial missions data to say 100k coins, 100 gems and 1000 xp, it would let me keep the coins after I save it to my phone (when it runs it won't over write the data in my save file as I have played a mission which granted me all the money).

What I have found is a compileCache.data file that can be edited with Hex Editor, but all of the tags come out as gibberish (not sure if I'm not using the right software here).

Any help on what I should do or software I should use (provided I'm using the incorrect software) would be greatly appreciated!

SPECIFICATIONS: I am using iFunbox to edit files, my phone is unjailbroken (iPhone 6, iOS 8.2). Naval Craft version (current build, version 1.2)

If need be I can post any files from the game if you need them!

Thank you for your time!

I think what you're trying to accomplish requires IDA. The reward data are probably not stored in the configuration files but rather in the binary.

I will look into the game and see what's up with it. I will tell you about it after I looked at it.

use IDA Pro and you must jailbroken

Try disabling it from syncing with iCloud, then change the save.

If that doesn't work you'll need to hack it using code injection

Alright, sorry I was gone I had some unforeseen family matters I had to attend to. OK, 2 things, first off as to the editing the save file and turning of syncing with iTunes, it doesn't work, as this gentleman posted a hack (see bottom for link) that should have worked (loads of money and gems) but when you edit the library it changes everything, BUT the money and gems aren't added and your money goes to a negative 29k. That's why I'm trying to edit the mission rewards, or possible the make the price of a ship -100k coins and -100 gems (so it adds money to your total). Second, as for IDA pro, I am downloading it now, and hopefully I can locate the app files and edit them with it, but I'll post what I find using that.

UPDATE: Using IDA pro I was able to locate the apps directories, the only problem is I can't find where the values for buying ships are, or mission reward stats are. (not listed, I tried searching manually and then by searching the strings for words like coins, cost, reward and gem)
