WillowTree is a save editor for Borderlands which manipulates nearly every aspect of the stored data for any platform. This includes, but isn’t limited to, weapons/items, quests, level, experience, echo logs, location, and backpack/bank space. WillowTree# is written in C# and uses the .NET 3.5 framework.
Requirements
- A PC, Xbox 360, and/or PS3 with a copy of Borderlands.
- The .NET 3.5 framework. (Not 2.0!)
- Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does WillowTree work on ~platform~?
A: WillowTree# works for saves from the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 versions of Borderlands.
Q: When I load my save I get an error. Help?
A: The most common reason for saves not loading is that you aren’t far enough into the game. I’d suggest getting at least 3-4 quests done after you start the game before modding that particular save. Otherwise, I can’t help. You can upload your save to a site such as mediafire or sendspace and sending it to me via PM or posting a link to it in this topic.
Q: I edited a weapon/item and it isn’t showing up in-game. Why?
A: As of the 1.30 patch, Borderlands no longer accepts “invalid” weapons and items. They simply will not show up when you start your game. If you’re sure the gun is valid, make sure you entered/copied it correctly. If you’re on a version of Borderlands prior to 1.30, then you probably didn’t hit “Save Changes” after editing your gun.
Q: Wait, how do I even open my save?
A: Click on the WillowTree icon in the top left corner. It glows when you scroll over it. Then click “Open”.
Q: Why does Borderlands crash when I edit it with WillowTree?
A: WillowTree# is often…buggy, particularly when dealing with DLC data. If you are on an old version of Borderlands, update. If you have weapons in your Moxxi bank, take them out.
If you have no items in your bank, put some in. You could also try using an older version of WillowTree#. Just make sure to backup your saves! WillowTree does it automatically when you hit “Save”, but you should always keep your own backups!
Q: How do I open a ‘zip’? How do I download ‘.NET 3.5’?
A: While you obviously aren’t capable of doing any real modding, try Google. You know, that place?
Q: I downloaded WillowTree 1.2.2 and it keeps messing up my save. Why?
A: You’re on an ancient version of WillowTree. Get WillowTree#, as it has DLC support.
Q: Where can I find premade weapons and items?
A: The Borderlands Modding Resource and the ZeroSubstance Borderlands Weapon & Item Database are excellent places to find what you want.
Q: i hate Willowtree it sucks because people join my game and crash it or blow up everything f u man
A: That’s nice, but I didn’t make WillowTree# for that purpose. WillowTree# is only meant to help people understand how Borderlands operates and to enhance their gameplay after they’ve finished the game. If someone uses it to ruin the game for others, it isn’t my fault. I don’t control how people use my tool.
Q: yea well you shouldnt have made it in the first place
A: Yeah? No. If I didn’t, someone else would have. Oh wait, someone did! If not WillowTree, then Gibbed’s editor. If not Gibbed’s editor, then someone else. People are inherently jerks. Even if there would still be people ruining your experience. You know, like those people that ********* all the loot? The kids that never shut their mouths? The trolls? The level 61’s that join your level 1 game and obliterate everything? The only difference is how they go about being assholes.
Q: I would like to contribute to WillowTree#'s development. How might I go about this?
A: You can grab the latest sources for WillowTree# here. The current objectives for the project itself can be found here.
