DF Modding / Editing/parsing binary .dat and .sav files?
« on: April 21, 2011, 03:22:14 am »
(this refers to data in your "dwarf_fortress/data/save/regionN/" folder)
It seems like the bulk of the Dwarf Fortress world info is in the .dat and .sav files. However, I see no documentation on the formatting of these files!!!
I'm a pretty experienced hobbyist coder, so I'm down with binary lingo... I'm just bad at poking around in the dark.
Soooo where can i find some documentation on the dwarf fortress save files? Obviously a couple people know a lot about it, because there are 3d viewers for dwarf fortress.
