fallout2 SAV.DAT file

[iHack]

it seems that fallout2 writes new data as the game is running. this creates a problem for me because now that i have parsed the whole SAV.DAT file whenever the character goes to a new town, the locations change. it doesnt seem to use any page data, or magic so i am wondering what it uses to find the location of the offset throughout the game. thanks

I think the game reads the entire file sequentially when a savegame is loaded, so it never needs to refer to data by offsets. To find the offsets you want for a particular sav.dat file, you'll probably have to parse through it yourself.
