You’ve saved the world from the Ever Peckish. Hold onto your aprons … it’s time to save the world (again!) But because I hadn't 100% beaten OC1, I had to guess how many levels were in each world so I could copy them in the correct order.Overcooked returns with a brand-new helping of chaotic cooking action! Journey back to the Onion Kingdom and assemble your team of chefs in classic couch co-op or online play for up to four players. So I had to track down each score for each level and correlate them to the correct score in the new one. Sounds simple, but it wasn't because the levels are saved out-of-order in the old game while the new game has them saved in-order. On top of that, the developers know which saves in which save files go to which DLCs.įor OC1, I had to convert the XML to JSON, then encrypt it. The game engine already has encryption and decryption built-in and doesn't need to minify or prettify the JSON because it always worked with it minified. If I was the game's dev, it'd be way easier. And now that DLC will have those saves in Overcooked All-You-Can-Eat.Īs you can see, it's not a simple process for me to write a tool to automate this.Once you've minified it, you can encrypt it again.Once you complete this task, minify the JSON in the AYCE save.Once you figure those out (load up OC2 and write down your scores for each level), then you can copy over the scores for the levels you did. After doing that, you'll have to figure out which objects in the JSON correspond to which DLC and how many levels to copy over.You'll want to also encrypt and prettify the JSON in the corresponding DLC save file in AYCE.I use DuckDuckGo as my search engine, and it has this functionality built in: Once you can decrypt that 3-DLC save file, it becomes a JSON file.This one requires Python to be installed, but you run it from the command line, no need to modify code. I think I used this one, but I'm not 100% sure. You need to find a way to decrypt and encrypt save files.But for the one with 3 DLC in it, that's where you need to follow the next steps. If you know which OC2 save file corresponds to which AYCE DLC save file, just copy it over and rename.

There are a few, and one of them has 3 DLC in it.

Lastly, I was able to copy over my DLC data. Because of this, I had to do some mapping of the old IDs into the new ones, then remove duplicate `LevelId`s where there was no score.

For instance, `LevelId` 0 in the 3rd game is `LevelId` 39 in the 1st game. So even though my scores are much lower, because the game keeps track of your star values, it's able to copy those over.Īlso, the levels in the first game aren't in order. First, the scores aren't 1-to-1 with the new game, but the stars are. It was a lot of work, but I was able to figure it out. I got the first game's saves copied over.
