Convert PC world of Don't Starve Together to Switch
Somebody asked me to look up if it's possible to somehow copy world from PC version of game to Switch because PC allows modifying world generation.
It was easier than I thought, so here is Python script:
https://github.com/masagrator/NXGam...n't Starve Together/ConvertPCWorldToSwitch.py
It requires Python 3 installed. You must have already save with at least 1 world on Switch. This was not tested thoroughly to see if this is 100% safe.
As an argument you must provide folder that you can find in PC save folder of your choice that has 16 random characters.
F.e. in my case that was
Those last folders will definitely be different on your PC!
For each save you need to convert both Master and Caves.
There should be 4 files in each folder:
So we need to run script twice through Command Prompt - one for Caves, one for Master:
Now in folder where is ConvertPCWorldToSwitch.py you should get a folder "ConvertedSave" with folders corresponding to names of PC folders.
Inside each folder should be 4 sdfs files.
You copy those sdfs files and replace existing ones inside Switch save to any Cluster's folder with 16 random characters, ignore that they are different.
So for example I got 4 sdfs files in E8041A33AD40A09C folder, and I am copying them to:
And for 222FB2FAF18FAFCC folder I'm copying files to
Remember that those last folders will definitely be different on your Switch and PC!
I guess you could create whole save converter, but this requires checking how all files are tagged inside save and I lost my interest already in studying this format further.
