yes there is only 1, i've had this one since 0.3.0, it's amazing that the saves haven't changed throughout the releases.

it shouldn't be that hard at all
the only problem for me is that i don't have a Mac and i never will.  Wink

I've been editing my saved games by transferring the files over to a Windows share, then back to my Mac... however, all of my edited saved games crash UQM. Sad I've even tried making the edits reasonable (20 crew, 20 fuel, 1000 RU) and it still shwos as 1404839930 RU and 36830 fuel and 24090 crew... and the game freezes when i load them. Makes me sad.

use a native hex editor for MAC, and make sure you are using hex code or it won't work properly, don't put in the amount you want in bytes or you will get a save game corruption...

you need a base converter to convert bytes to hex so you can change the values without corruption.

Windows and PowerPC Mac save games are incompatible, so the save game editor probably won't work on your Mac saves.

Im writing one for mac, but its my first time with Cocoa and Objective-C, so it will take me a little while to work everything out. Here is what works so far:

Money, date/time, crew, fuel, minerals, landers.

The only limits are in the file offsets. If someone has a good list of them, i would be happy to make a comprehensive editor.   
I won't release this until i get all the kinks worked out.  For now its loading saved games i point to it, and not the whole folder. I plan on having it load the entire folder from ~/.uqm/save and let you change any or all of them, and duplicate them i guess for backup.

Send me offsets in the files and i can get this done pretty soon.  Good way to learn to use Xcode!

The savegame starts with a SUMMARY_DESC structure, described in src/sc2code/sis.h. The data after that is compressed. Look at save.c if you want to know more about that. This is a horrible part of the source code though, and will be replaced eventually.
