Savegame File Format

Header Format

Each chunk of variable-sized data in the file is preceded by a header.

Name	Size
Header Type	4 bytes
Data Size	4 bytes

The possible header types are:

• SAVE_FILE_START

This is the first header in the file

• SAVE_FILE_VERSION

The version of the file

• SAVE_FILE_END

This is the final header in the file

• BLEND_FILE

The path to a blend file to load.

• SCENE

A scene to load from a blend file.

• START_SCENE

The scene to start in.

• OBJECT

See: [GameObject]

OBJECT's are saved when they have a property 'save'=True and are marked 'dirty'=True.

• OBJECT_INSTANCE

OBJECT_INSTANCE's are equivalent to OBJECT's except they are created after the
scene has been initialized by the AddObject actuator.
