General guide and list of bugs

Hello, I wrote a document containing all known bugs and strategies.
Because of the complexity of the document I can't copy it here.

How to Speedrun Elementary Evil

So firstly, you need to watch the WR of Elementary Evil and remember the routes or the directions they are going through on that level. And if you have difficulty on that level, then just focus on Zone 1 on that day and Zone 2 tomorrow or a other day. So that is my guide.

Quick intro to save file editing

Dark deception save files are a format which mixes ASCII with Binary. I'm not too familair with it but I can know how to do a few things. Maybe someone more knownledgeable can help.

Essentials
Save files are located in 
	C:\Users\$USER$\AppData\Local\DDeception\Saved
Since the game only runs on windows other OSes are irrelevant. Without any tools you can already make backups. To go beyond you need a binary or hexadecimal editor. I recommend Visual Studio Code with the plugin ms-vscode.hexeditor, which allows editing hexes while previewing ASCII.

SaveSlot.sav
So far the only known savefile to be usefully modifiable. Open this file with the hex editor. The decoded text will contain a bunch of dots, some gibberish as well as some readable text, for example 
	Telekinesis . Unlock . . . . BoolProperty
And this is how to disable powers; after the BoolProperty there will be a bunch of zeroes in the HEX as well as a single 01 and something like 0D. Changing the 01 to be 00 will disable the power. After that also is the upgrade level, an IntProperty. This will look like 00 04 00 00 ... 00 0X; the first 04 is mandatory but the 0X represents the level. Modify that to change your level. Note though that CHANGING THIS VALUE BEYOND WHAT IS REACHABLE IN GAME AND SUBMITTING A RUN WILL RESULT IN A BAN.

There remains a few open questions, for example how to mark levels as complete. But this is a start.

В этом Челлендже важно:
