How to turn your modded backer heroes into regular heroes
Back up your save files before doing this!!

Your save files are located here:
...\Steam\userdata\your_steam_user_id_here\262060\remote\
profile_0 is your first save, the save at the very top ingame.


Using the online save editor

https://robojumper.github.io/DarkestDungeonSaveEditor/


Upload persist.roster.json from your profile folder.

Find the data entry of the hero you want to turn into a regular hero. The entry looks like this:

"45" : { "hero_file_data" : { "raw_data" : { "__revision_dont_touch": 0, "base_root" : { "roster.status" : 0, "roster.before_on_start_town_visit_status" : 0, "roster.missing_duration" : 0, "roster.story_variation" : 0, "roster.missing_from" : 0, "roster.building_name" : "", "roster.timestamp" : 0, "actor" : { "name" : "Remus", "current_hp" : 1.0, "stunned" : 0, "combat_ready" : false, "damage_source_data" : 0, "damage_source_type" : 0, "damage_type" : 0, "colour_variation" : 0, "enemy_rank_targets" : 0, "friendly_rank_targets" : 0, "performing_turn" : 0, "controlling_actor_guid" : 0, "controlling_duration" : 0, "current_mode_id" : 0, "rounds_in_ranks" : 0, "check_round_ranks" : 0, "health_damage_blocks" : 0, "buff_group_next_guid" : 12, "buff_group" : {}, "actor_dot" : {} }, "heroClass" : "zotlan_guru", "resolveXp" : 0, "m_Stress" : 0.0, "is_death_heart_attack_completed" : false, "visited_deaths_door" : false, "deaths_door_enter_effect_round_cooldown" : 0, "has_had_heart_attack" : false, "backer_hero" : true, "steps_taken" : 0, "enemies_killed" : 0, "weapon_rank" : 0, "armour_rank" : 0, "dd_test_survived" : 0, "affliction_type_id" : "", "affliction_severity" : 0, "virtue_type_id" : "", "provisions_consumed" : 0, "quirks" : { "fragile" : { "is_new" : false, "is_locked" : false, "mission_count" : 0, "replaces_quirk" : 0, "replaces_quirk_viewed" : false, "evolution_duration_remaining" : 0 }, "scattering" : { "is_new" : false, "is_locked" : false, "mission_count" : 0, "replaces_quirk" : 0, "replaces_quirk_viewed" : false, "evolution_duration_remaining" : 0 }, "warren_explorer" : { "is_new" : true, "is_locked" : false, "mission_count" : 0, "replaces_quirk" : 0, "replaces_quirk_viewed" : false, "evolution_duration_remaining" : 0 } }, "skills" : { "selected_combat_skills" : { "overpower" : 0, "knockout" : 0, "rock" : 0, "overcome" : 0 }, "selected_camping_skills" : { "first_aid" : 0, "zot_guru_camp_1" : 0, "zot_guru_camp_3" : 0 } }, "trinkets" : { "items" : {} }, "has_item_Tracking" : true, "item_tracking" : { "supply" : {} }, "number_of_successful_darkest_dungeon_quests" : 0, "is_from_town_event" : false } } } }


Find the part that says:

"backer_hero" : true,

Change it to:

"backer_hero" : false,

Download the file and overwrite your persist.roster.json !


You can change the name and skin of your hero now.
