editing the persistent file

[flameboy]

hey i was just wondering how do you change things in the persistent file. i'm trying to resurrect jebediah but i don't know how I've been surfing the net but couldn't find out how if you can help i would greatly appreciate it

ok, had to "kill" Jeb on purpose to check this info, but he agreed it's all for a good cause. When a kerbal is killed, the savegame registers these changes, so guess those are what you need to revert in your save:

(all in the sfs section KERBAL by name = <yourKilledKerbal>):

state = Missing (should be Available)

ToD = <TimeOfDeath> (should be 0; ToD seems to register 7200 seconds = 2 hours more than UT)

idx = 0 (should be -1, but have unclear if that filed holds other info so it may have different values than those).

Or there are persistence file editor tools that avoid the risks of "doing it by hand".
