SAV
From OHRRPGCE-Wiki
This is the documentation for the old save format. The current format is RSAV
A SAV file consists of binary records of 30000 16-bit INTs (60000 bytes). The number of records varies, but is typically 4 for the for normal save games, or 32 when the F2/F3 quicksave has been used. The records from 5 thru 31 are only accessible via plotscripting,
| Integer Offset | Data Size | Name | in-memory storage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | INT | SAV version | Always 3 for current games | |
| 1 | INT | current map | map | |
| 2 | INT | hero X | catx(0) | This is relative to the SAV offset in the MAP lump for the current map |
| 3 | INT | hero Y | caty(0) | This is relative to the SAV offset in the MAP lump for the current map |
| 4 | INT | hero direction | catd(0) | |
| 5 | INT | random battle counter | foep | Decremented when you walk, random battle occurs when it reaches zero |
| 6 | INT | Unused | Used to be leader (and I don't remember what that means) | |
| 7 | INT | camera x position | mapx | Not relative to SAV offset in MAP, but maybe it should be? |
| 8 | INT | camera y position | mapy | Not relative to SAV offset in MAP, but maybe it should be? |
| 9-33 | INT*25 | Money | gold& | Money converted to a string, and stored as ascii digits, one per INT, with zero-padding on the end (profound shame) |

| INT*38 | Unused | |||
| INT*198*12 | useless item names | inventory().text | Item names, one ascii char per int. It is a mystery to me why we ever stored these here, since they can be easily re-generated from the other data. | |
