Anyone seriously looking at the Save File Format?

Post » Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:50 am

I was crunching through my save files and I soon noticed some serious disconnects between the UESP Wiki format definition and what I kept finding. I am not aware of any other published format, so the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes5Mod:Save_File_Format is all I have to work with.

One of the oddest things is the inclusion of a non-existent mod called NONPLAYERFIX.esp in the plugin list. Worse, the entry is not in any recognized "standard" format (like wstring etc), and is the plugincount + 1 entry, which appears--I assume--just before the filelocationtable data.

The FileLocationTable looks a bit cockeyed as well, but I am too confused to worry about that now. :smile:

So, I ask y'all out there: Is anyone mapping out the Save Files format (and others) for Skyrim? I would enjoy sharing research and data on this one.


FWIW, the data in the files up to the point where I find NONPLAYERFIX.esp looks just fine and dandy.

Here is something where they talk about adding some data to this esp for a mod:

Still does not say what this does, but it appears to have something to do with Leveled Lists and whatnot. Perhaps it is so the NPCs can used Leveled loot along with the PC.

In particular:
-Reset Sabre and Saber Keyword to SABRE and will add Weapons to the Nonplayerfix.esp so their stats can be amended to fit the Weapon Type Sabre - So they won't have the same stats as Scimitars.

Perhaps you can grab that mod and see what this person did and why.
