This application may be used to modify many parameters of interest in the save game file of PC version of Omikron: The Nomad Soul. In contrast with some previous attempts to provide such editor for Omikron, this version actually has an interface (something to point and click).

Specifically, all RPG-like parameters can be changed, including Energy, Attack, Combat Experience, etc. In my opinion, the most important parameters you might want to change are Rings, Money and Mana (in that order).

I wrote this little bit of software because I quite liked the feel of the game as well as some of the ideas. But unfortunately, some parts of the game seem to be executed better then others. In particular, all of the 'shooting' scenes do not work properly (fast enough) on my computer, although at outdoor scenes my accelerator easily handles top features of the game engine. Which means that on my computer shooting must be avoided at all costs, which is not always possible. Thus I wanted to save a lot, but rings limit prevents that. The save game editor seemed to be an obvious solution.

I do understand that this program is created a bit too late concerning that the game itself was released sometime in 2000 (or even 1999?). Nevertheless, I only got the game recently and hey, if you did not finish it then, now you have a chance.

I can not give you any warranty whatsoever, in particular I do not guarantee that this application will work; and I can not promise that your save games will not be corrupted. This application works for me and that is about it.
