[openttd-devel] Some thoughts about files

[Robert N. <ro...@ca...>]

Just some ideas to chew on:

 - It might be a good idea to change the savegame format to be (say) an
   XML file. Yes, this places quite a bit of extra overhead on
   loading/saving (though it shouldn't be noticable to the end user),
   but it will allow hand-editing of save files (something I'm sure many
   people would be interested in), and also allow old savegames to be
   loaded into newer versions of OpenTTD.

 - Similarly, it could be good to unpack graphics/samples into seperate
   files. Again, more overhead reading them in (though not much), but it
   makes it far easier to modify/add a single graphic or sample.

A bit early for all this ..

Rob.
