SCUM - Attribute Reader & Writer (8555)

Managing Player Attributes in SCUM: Reader and Writer

Use these two tools to inspect or update a player’s core attributes in your SCUM server. Both scripts work the same way from the panel: enter the player’s SteamID and click Execute.



N.B. This feature is experimental. Use at your own risk!

Player Attributes - Reader

Purpose: Read-only. Shows the player’s current base attributes without changing anything.

Steps

1. Open Player Attributes - Reader in the panel.
2. Paste the player’s SteamID into the field.
3. Click Execute.
4. Read the result in the console.

   

Example console output

Final stats -> BaseStrength=3.8 | BaseConstitution=3.3 | BaseDexterity=2.2 | BaseIntelligence=2.7

Player Attributes - Writer

• Edits: Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence
• Defaults: Strength 8.0, Constitution 5.0, Dexterity 5.0, Intelligence 5.0
• Input required: SteamID

1. 5 minutes before running this script, tell the user to log out of the server and stay logged out.
2. After 5 minutes, open Player Attributes - Writer in the panel.
3. Paste the player’s SteamID into the field.
4. Click Execute.
5. Wait for the console to confirm the update and checkpoint.

Operational note

• The player should have been offline for AT LEAST 5 minutes before you run the writer.
• Always keep a database backup before making changes.

Troubleshooting

“Could not resolve prisoner id”

• The SteamID does not exist in this save. Verify the number or have the player join the server once to create a profile.

“No stats patched in blob”

• The character data did not match an expected layout. Run the Reader to confirm current values. If the player is online, ask them to log out and retry after a few minutes.

Changes do not show in game

• Confirm the player was offline during the update and remained offline for a few minutes. Use the Reader to verify the stored values. Have the player reconnect.

How to find a SteamID

• Ask the player for their 17 digit SteamID64.
• Or use any trusted SteamID lookup site by pasting the player’s profile URL.
