save fileformat

[sarka]

Hi all

Where can i find the fileformat of save file?

Thanks

It is a zip file.
extra_info, renpy_version and json are raw text, screenshot.png is png file. log is IIRC a pickled (or cPickled depending on settings) game state binary data.

IIRC? how to decode this file 'log'?

IIRC == "If I remember correctly"

What exactly are you trying to do decoding a save file?

English is not my native language

I need to edit Renpy save file.

You unpickle it obviously. It will result in a python object representing game state. Then you will need to figure out how RenPy works to find data you want to change.

Why do you need to edit save? It is generally a bad idea to do so, as different function might expect data to not change between save and load, breaking the game. Maybe there are other options?

This is for the development of Renpy games MOD. I need to access the information contained in the backup, not specially to modify them;)

Thanks a lot Ocelot and Kivik for your help
