Title: Request for Save Game Format Change Post by: Mister.Donut on February 19, 2006, 05:33:10 am The last time I checked, the save game content gets dumped out as binary values. I would really like to see the save game format changed to something that is easily human readable and therefore editable with little effort.

We're likely to add some checksum though, so that it won't be too tempting to cheat by manual editing. You could still edit the files and generate the checksums yourself ofcourse, but it would serve as a "Are you really really really really sure you want to spoil your game?" dialog.Title: Re: Request for Save Game Format Change Post by: Censored on February 19, 2006, 05:06:21 pm It will be there somewhere in the future. personally I think this feature is not necessary, or even favorable. in the same lines you could add a cheat for RU and crewpoints. what's the idea?
