Savegame File Structure
First of all we need to open our save game in a hex editor
I'd recommend working with Hex Workshop since it supports bookmarks, which make the life a lot easier.
You will get something like this.
The first 4 bytes are not known yet what the stand for also the byte at 0x000C seems like to have no function
at the moment since it has always the value of 0x42. Looking for 0x42 at 0x000C is probaby a good method to
verify if a file is a proper save game file.
The structure:
| Position | Length (in bytes) | Type | Name | Comment | Example | Example Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
