How To Get More Than 500 Items With David Ze's Editor.
SUP!?
I decided to make a quick Polly explaining how to get more than 500 item's with David Ze's Save Game Editor, I do remember making a thread back a few months ago asking if you guys wanted me to make a tutorial and I got a few responses saying that I should and I shouldn't.

David Ze did say this when the tool just came out / was in beta;
"Well to be honest I set the limit of 500 myself. You could easily allow more but everyone tends to max out all the items and then the game will get laggy & freeze...
Also I think 500 of an item is more than enough."
And he has a pretty good point, I mean 500 items is a lot, and they are planning on making things server sided now which is pretty stupid in my understanding but I could be wrong. A lot of you are probably questioning me about this post, asking yourself
"Is this tutorial really needed? We already have a shit ton of saves that have multiple amounts of items with them." I do understand that. but enough of me babbling on, let's get to the tutorial. Before that though, lets go to a quick

I am not responsible for fucking up your save in any way, this is method that wasn't released with David's editor, I am not breaking/abusing David's tool whatsoever I am only releasing this for the pure enjoyment. Don't come bitching to me that I broke your save, you did this yourself I didn't force you at all. Thank you for reading.
Tutorial:
1. Open David's Editor and Load up your Save File.
2. Once your save file is opened go ahead and go over to the JSON Tab.
3. When your in the JSON Tab, go ahead and select everything and paste it in a notepad. (I prefer Notepad++)
4. When everything is pasted in your notepad search for the item you want to make a shit ton of.
ex: If I wanted to duplicate purple flashlights, I'd search for the ID of the Purple Flashlight (Item_Camper_Flashlight03)
5. Once you find your ID, you should see the code repeats and repeats and repeats.
Should Look Some Like This:
{
"version": 16,
"name": "Item_Camper_Flashlight03"
},
{
"version": 16,
"name": "Item_Camper_Flashlight03"
},
{
"version": 16,
"name": "Item_Camper_Flashlight03"
},
6. Once you've found your code that looks like that above^ then just keep repeating the code over and over again inside the notepad until you think you have enough of what you want.
If you have idea what to do, I made a notepad for purple flashlights, just download that and continue to Step 7. If you want to do something other than flashlights then just search for the ID of the flashlight and replace it with the ID you want your item to be.
7. When you've got all of what you want and your finished simply copy everything inside your notepad, go back to the save editor delete everything inside the JSON Tab in the Save Editor and paste in everything you copied in the notepad into the JSON Tab.
8. Now save your save file, load up DBD
9. Profit
