Join the discord server if you want to suggest new features, report bugs or get help on how to use the editor (please read the below tutorials / watch the latest tutorial video first before asking for help).

Thanks to:

Lethal's editor for giving me inspiration to start the project and it helped me work out how to patch the save data and edit cf/xp: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattleCatsCheats/comments/djehhn/editoren/

Beeven and csehydrogen's open source code, which helped me figure out how to patch save data: beeven/battlecats, csehydrogen/BattleCatsHacker

Everyone who's given me saves, which helped to test save parsing/serialising and to test/develop new features

How to use:

Tutorial video here, or scroll down for a text tutorial

Main tutorial

You no longer need a rooted device nor a rooted android emulator.

Although if you want to get unbanned / fix the elsewhere error you will still need one. I recommend LDPlayer, Nox, or MEmu if needed. Bluestacks is also an option but is more difficult to root as it doesn't have a built in option.

---

Install python (You'll need version 3.9 and up) https://www.python.org/downloads/

Enter the command: py -m pip install -U battle-cats-save-editor into command prompt or another terminal to install the editor (NOT the Windows Python app). If that doesn't work then use python3 or python instead of py in the command

Enter the command: py -m BCSFE_Python to run the editor. If that doesn't work then use python3 or python instead of py in the command

Look below for the tutorial that you need, or watch here for a video

Using Transfer Codes

If you don't have a rooted device or an emulator setup then do this:

Go into the game and look in the top right of the screen and record / remember the game version

Go into the in-game transfer system in Settings-> Data Transfer and click Begin Data Transfer

In the editor use the option called Download save data from the game using transfer and confirmation codes (enter the corresponding number, not the name itself)

Enter the game version that you are using, en=english, kr=korean, ja=japanese, tw=taiwan.

Enter your transfer code

Enter your confirmation code

Enter the game version that you recorded earlier in step 5. If you entered everything in correctly it should work and you should be able to select a place to put the save

If you get a parsing error please join the discord server and report it in #bug-reports and / or dm me your save file (preferably not transfer codes)

Edit what you want

Go into the Save Management option and select Save changes and upload to game servers (get transfer and confirmation codes). It may take some time

Enter those codes into the game's transfer system (click on Resume Data Transfer) (You may need to Cancel Data Transfer in-game before doing so)

If you press play you may get a The current Save Data is in violation message, if so press ok and try again and it should go away, if it doesn't look at the tutorial below

Using a rooted device

If you can't upload your save data using the in-game system because your are banned or the This save data is currently active elsewhere message appears, you will need direct access to the save data:

If you don't have a rooted device:

You will need to get one of the emulators listed earlier, I recommend LD Player because I know that it works with this method. If you change the default install location, make sure to keep a note of it for it later

Enable root permission in the settings and under ADB Debugging select Open local connection. You will need to restart LD Player for the changes to work

Open the editor and select the option named Use adb to pull the save from a rooted device and enter your game version

If you get the option to add adb to your path, select enter y.

The editor will look for adb in default install directories of common emulators and add it automatically

If it fails, then you will need to either

Enter the path to your emulator's install directory, it might look like C:\LDPlayer\LDPlayer4.0

Download adb with from here. Extract the zip and copy the folder path (not adb.exe itself) into the editor

Now rerun the editor and try the option again. If it still doesn't work you'll need to manually do it, using the tutorial below.

If you get a parsing issue please join the discord server and report it in #bug-reports and / or dm me your save file (preferably not transfer codes)

Edit what you want

Go into save management and select an option to push save data to the game

Enter the game and you should see changes

Put adb in path

To use the options in the editor to get and push your save data to the game, you will need to have adb in your path system environment variable. The editor will try to do this automatically, but it may not work. So do this if it doesn't (If you're not using windows look up how to do this):

If you are using an emulator: Go to your emulator's install directory, if you're using LDPlayer it will most likely be in C:/LDPlayer/LDPlayer4.0. Then find adb in that folder (other emulators might have it in the bin directory)

If you aren't using an emulator Download the Android SDK Platform Tools ZIP file for Windows, and unzip it.

Copy the path to the folder that you are in (not adb.exe itself)

Then open the windows start menu and search: edit the system environment variables and press enter.

Then click on the Environment Variables button.

Then in the System variables box find the variable named Path, then click on the edit button.

Then click New and paste the path into it.

Click Ok then Ok again then Ok again.

Relaunch powershell and maybe restart your whole pc, and try the command again.

If this method is too difficult, just use a root file explorer instead and manually get the files that you want. The path that you will need is: /data/data/jp.co.ponos.battlecatsen/files/SAVE_DATA

How to fix "This save data is currently active elsewhere" or "The current Save Data is in violation"

You will need to get access to save data so you will need a rooted device / emulator, so look at the first part of the Using a rooted device tutorial.

Select the option in Inquiry Code / Token to Fix elsewhere error / Unban account

It may take some time but after, you should be able to choose one of the options in save management to push the save data to the game.

If you press play you may get a The current Save Data is in violation message, if so press ok and try again and it should go away, if it doesn't then either you've done something wrong or the process didn't work. You may need to follow the tutorial in the second part of the old help video here (3:40) and use the Old Fix elsewhere error / Unban account (needs 2 save files) feature instead

How to unban an account

You can get banned for editing in any amount of cat food, rare tickets, platinum tickets or legend tickets.

The way you fix it is the same method as the elsewhere fix, so just follow that.

How to prevent a ban in the future

Instead of editing in platinum tickets use the Platinum Shards feature

Instead of editing in rare tickets use the Normal Ticket Max Trade Progress (allows for unbannable rare tickets) feature

Instead of hacking in cat food, just edit everything in that you can buy with cat food, e.g battle items, catamins, xp, energy refills (leaderships), etc. If you really want catfood then you can clear and unclear catnip missions with the feature Catnip Challenges / Missions then entering 1 when asked. You'll need to collect the catfood in-game after each clear though

Instead of hacking in tickets, just hack in the cats/upgrades you want directly

Reform: Form Objects Decoupled From Models In Ruby

Reform

Form objects decoupled from your models.

Reform gives you a form object with validations and nested setup of models. It is completely framework-agnostic and doesn't care about your database.

Although reform can be used in any Ruby framework, it comes with Rails support, works with simple_form and other form gems, allows nesting forms to implement has_one and has_many relationships, can compose a form from multiple objects and gives you coercion.

Full Documentation

Reform is part of the Trailblazer framework. Full documentation is available on the project site.

Reform 2.2

Temporary note: Reform 2.2 does not automatically load Rails files anymore (e.g. ActiveModel::Validations). You need the reform-rails gem, see Installation.

Defining Forms

Forms are defined in separate classes. Often, these classes partially map to a model.

class AlbumForm < Reform::Form
  property :title
  validates :title, presence: true
end

Fields are declared using ::property. Validations work exactly as you know it from Rails or other frameworks. Note that validations no longer go into the model.

The API

Forms have a ridiculously simple API with only a handful of public methods.

1. #initialize always requires a model that the form represents.
2. #validate(params) updates the form's fields with the input data (only the form, not the model) and then runs all validations. The return value is the boolean result of the validations.
3. #errors returns validation messages in a classic ActiveModel style.
4. #sync writes form data back to the model. This will only use setter methods on the model(s).
5. #save (optional) will call #save on the model and nested models. Note that this implies a #sync call.
6. #prepopulate! (optional) will run pre-population hooks to "fill out" your form before rendering.

In addition to the main API, forms expose accessors to the defined properties. This is used for rendering or manual operations.

Setup

In your controller or operation you create a form instance and pass in the models you want to work on.

class AlbumsController
  def new
    @form = AlbumForm.new(Album.new)
  end

This will also work as an editing form with an existing album.

def edit
  @form = AlbumForm.new(Album.find(1))
end

Reform will read property values from the model in setup. In our example, the AlbumForm will call album.title to populate the title field.

Rendering Forms

Your @form is now ready to be rendered, either do it yourself or use something like Rails' #form_for, simple_form or formtastic.

= form_for @form do |f|
  = f.input :title

Nested forms and collections can be easily rendered with fields_for, etc. Note that you no longer pass the model to the form builder, but the Reform instance.

Optionally, you might want to use the #prepopulate! method to pre-populate fields and prepare the form for rendering.

Validation

After form submission, you need to validate the input.

class SongsController
  def create
    @form = SongForm.new(Song.new)

    #=> params: {song: {title: "Rio", length: "366"}}

    if @form.validate(params[:song])

The #validate method first updates the values of the form - the underlying model is still treated as immutuable and remains unchanged. It then runs all validations you provided in the form.

It's the only entry point for updating the form. This is per design, as separating writing and validation doesn't make sense for a form.

This allows rendering the form after validate with the data that has been submitted. However, don't get confused, the model's values are still the old, original values and are only changed after a #save or #sync operation.

Syncing Back

After validation, you have two choices: either call #save and let Reform sort out the rest. Or call #sync, which will write all the properties back to the model. In a nested form, this works recursively, of course.

It's then up to you what to do with the updated models - they're still unsaved.

Saving Forms

The easiest way to save the data is to call #save on the form.

if @form.validate(params[:song])
  @form.save  #=> populates album with incoming data
              #   by calling @form.album.title=.
else
  # handle validation errors.
end

This will sync the data to the model and then call album.save.

Sometimes, you need to do saving manually.

Default values

Reform allows default values to be provided for properties.

class AlbumForm < Reform::Form
  property :price_in_cents, default: 9_95
end

Saving Forms Manually

Calling #save with a block will provide a nested hash of the form's properties and values. This does not call #save on the models and allows you to implement the saving yourself.

The block parameter is a nested hash of the form input.

  @form.save do |hash|
    hash      #=> {title: "Greatest Hits"}
    Album.create(hash)
  end

You can always access the form's model. This is helpful when you were using populators to set up objects when validating.

  @form.save do |hash|
    album = @form.model

    album.update_attributes(hash[:album])
  end

Nesting

Reform provides support for nested objects. Let's say the Album model keeps some associations.

class Album < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one  :artist
  has_many :songs
end

The implementation details do not really matter here, as long as your album exposes readers and writes like Album#artist and Album#songs, this allows you to define nested forms.

class AlbumForm < Reform::Form
  property :title
  validates :title, presence: true

  property :artist do
    property :full_name
    validates :full_name, presence: true
  end

  collection :songs do
    property :name
  end
end

You can also reuse an existing form from elsewhere using :form.

property :artist, form: ArtistForm

Nested Setup

Reform will wrap defined nested objects in their own forms. This happens automatically when instantiating the form.

album.songs #=> [<Song name:"Run To The Hills">]

form = AlbumForm.new(album)
form.songs[0] #=> <SongForm model: <Song name:"Run To The Hills">>
form.songs[0].name #=> "Run To The Hills"

Nested Rendering

When rendering a nested form you can use the form's readers to access the nested forms.

= text_field :title,         @form.title
= text_field "artist[name]", @form.artist.name

Or use something like #fields_for in a Rails environment.

= form_for @form do |f|
  = f.text_field :title

  = f.fields_for :artist do |a|
    = a.text_field :name

Nested Processing

validate will assign values to the nested forms. sync and save work analogue to the non-nested form, just in a recursive way.

The block form of #save would give you the following data.

@form.save do |nested|
  nested #=> {title:  "Greatest Hits",
         #    artist: {name: "Duran Duran"},
         #    songs: [{title: "Hungry Like The Wolf"},
         #            {title: "Last Chance On The Stairways"}]
         #   }
  end

The manual saving with block is not encouraged. You should rather check the Disposable docs to find out how to implement your manual tweak with the official API.

Populating Forms

Very often, you need to give Reform some information how to create or find nested objects when validateing. This directive is called populator and documented here.

Installation

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem "reform"

Reform works fine with Rails 3.1-5.0. However, inheritance of validations with ActiveModel::Validations is broken in Rails 3.2 and 4.0.

Since Reform 2.2, you have to add the reform-rails gem to your Gemfile to automatically load ActiveModel/Rails files.

gem "reform-rails"

Since Reform 2.0 you need to specify which validation backend you want to use (unless you're in a Rails environment where ActiveModel will be used).

To use ActiveModel (not recommended because very out-dated).

require "reform/form/active_model/validations"
Reform::Form.class_eval do
  include Reform::Form::ActiveModel::Validations
end

To use dry-validation (recommended).

require "reform/form/dry"
Reform::Form.class_eval do
  feature Reform::Form::Dry
end

Put this in an initializer or on top of your script.

Compositions

Reform allows to map multiple models to one form. The complete documentation is here, however, this is how it works.

class AlbumForm < Reform::Form
  include Composition

  property :id,    on: :album
  property :title, on: :album
  property :songs, on: :cd
  property :cd_id, on: :cd, from: :id
end

When initializing a composition, you have to pass a hash that contains the composees.

AlbumForm.new(album: album, cd: CD.find(1))

More

Reform comes many more optional features, like hash fields, coercion, virtual fields, and so on. Check the full documentation here.

Reform is part of the Trailblazer project. Please buy my book to support the development and learn everything about Reform - there's two chapters dedicated to Reform!

Security And Strong_parameters

By explicitly defining the form layout using ::property there is no more need for protecting from unwanted input. strong_parameter or attr_accessible become obsolete. Reform will simply ignore undefined incoming parameters.

This is not Reform 1.x!

Temporary note: This is the README and API for Reform 2. On the public API, only a few tiny things have changed. Here are the Reform 1.2 docs.

Anyway, please upgrade and report problems and do not simply assume that we will magically find out what needs to get fixed. When in trouble, join us on Gitter.

Full documentation for Reform is available online, or support us and grab the Trailblazer book. There is an Upgrading Guide to help you migrate through versions.
