Name Change Script

The game stores the player name (with a maximum of 8 characters) in the Savegame\player001.sav binary file. This script will patch the file and separate each character with a value of 0x00.

# Converts a string to a UTF16-encoded byte array. This looks like ASCII characters separated by 0x00 in most cases.
$bytes = ConvertTo-StringBytes -Input $NewPlayerAlias -Utf16 1 -MaxLength 8 -MinLength 8

# Writes byte[] to a file at an offset
