Latest revision as of 14:31, 22 July 2019

This file is present in any save.

There are 8 values. 7 of these are made of 2 bytes each, and the
other is a string value made up of 26 bytes. Total of 40 bytes.

Structure

Offset (Decimal)	Offset (Hex)	Usage
0-1	0x00-0x01	Ignore this if the file is not in the missdat folder. If 0, then this is a savegame made on the beginning of a new battlescape game. If 1, then check DIRECT.DAT to see where which save slot to load from.
2-27	0x02-0x1D	This a 26 byte null terminated string, which details the name of the save file. The name may be 25 characters long; the final byte is always of value 0. A 0 also marks the end of the save name, should it not use all 25 characters.
28-29	0x1C-0x1D	The current year.
30-31	0x1E-0x1F	The current month. Note that 0 is January.
32-33	0x20-0x21	The current day of the month.
34-35	0x22-0x23	The current hour (24 hour time).
36-37	0x24-0x25	The current minute.
38-39	0x26-0x27	0 for geoscape save, 1 for tactical save.
