I think that some of you will like this release! :)

I have been quiet lately, but I did go back to work again, and I give you a better DISE now. :)
I'm doing some testing, and getting help from someone else with testing as well. If it goes well, I can release alpha 38 within 24 hours or so. :) Thank you for your patience!
This version should have improved support for Xbox 360 game-saves (my tests were successful but I'll test a bit more), optimizations and some other fixes.
You probably noticed that I haven't released a new version of DISE for a little more than a few days?
For the last few days, I've been trying hard to figure out exactly how the quests are read by the game.
This less-than-a-minute long video I made shows you how to do it (as the title says) quick and easy. Please pause/rewind if it's too quick. :)
I happened to come across HashIt by synmuffin of zeropair.com [broken link removed], which is a tool for resigning/rehashing e.g. the save_0 file from the Xbox 360. From the looks of HashIt's code (I had a quick peek), it can extract and replace files, and of course resign/rehash the package. It's open source and coded in C++/Qt!
Those who don't have Steam installed may find this release less annoying. For everyone else, there's nothing new this time. :)
If you used an old version of DISE to change your character and/or reset your skills and you're having problems now, then you should reset your skills again. The reason is that only half the job was done before, and DISE now relies it being done properly. :)
