Save File Format
This page is a work in progress.

This page describes the save file format. These values and structures were determined by opening save files using a hex editor.

Starting with Save Version 21, the body of the file is compressed in chunks. See Compressed Save File Format below.

Multiple times throughout the file you will see templates like {1} used, which means it uses the value of that field for its size or other math.

Note that all strings are null-terminated, so you almost always want to read all strings of their length - 1.

The length of the string is determined by the previous Int32. A negative length means that the String is encoded in UTF16.
