Change your HOVA

In our opinion, a big weakness of Cloudpunk is that you can't change a chosen HOVA or buy another one later in the game. In today's note we describe how you can still change the selected HOVA with some tricks in Cloudpunk.

The following graphic shows the possible HOVA:

Open your savegame (slot0.sav) with an hexeditor and adjust a certain line in the code to select a different HOVA. It is as simple as changing the specific value between 1 and 7, depending on the model you want.

You find your savegame here: PATH

Screenshot HexEditor.

Firstly make a copy of your savegame file, then open it up in a hex editor (I use HxD for example).

Scroll down and find the Offset value of 00003A70. It may seem overwhelming, but it's an easy find as all the offsets follow a number/value structure.

On this Offset will be a string of letters and numbers. Mine looks like this '00 00 00 00 00 01 CD CC CC 3E 01 00 01 00 00 00'.

Change the 01 towards the end (before the set of three 00's) to a number value corresponding to the HOVA you want ie. '00 00 00 00 00 01 CD CC CC 3E 01 00 09 00 00 00' for the Taxi Hova.

Refer to the image above for a detailed list of which number corresoponds to what HOVA.
