Editable Files

[SpriteFight]

I would like to use Easy Save as part of a mod system for a game. I was using my own system which simply serialized to xml. I assumed this used a similar system when I purchased it, but it does not leave the xml in an easily editable format.

Is it possible to save the file in an editable xml type format? Or just any format that looks user editable?

Hi there,

Easy Save uses our own binary serialisation, so it's not possible to edit the file manually. However, what most of our users do is to create a GUI which calls the ES2 methods to modify the files, as this is much safer and less prone to errors (such as parsing errors).

All the best,
Joel

Ergh. I do *not* have time to write an editor. As it is I had to refactor 4 months of code in one weekend (Still haven't slept yet). I grabbed ez save thinking it would save me time.

Thanks anyway. Maybe I can find *mumbles* some...thing? Oy. So tired.
