SYNDICATE WARS SAVEGAME FILES

SAVED GAMES REWORK AND EDITING

Save games are partially reworked.

These files are encoded with checksum. The encryption is based on XOR operation, with dynamically changing hashtable. At the beginning, some values are not encrypted:

       char comment[25];
       unsigned char filesize[4];
       unsigned char headersize[4];

After this encrypted data starts, last 4 bytes are the checksum. Checksum is generated by XOR-ing decrypted savegame data.

Here you have some savegame files, from both campaings:

Download Eurocorp campaign savegame files

Download Church campaign savegame files

The encryption is now broken, and you can download savegame decoder here (C source code included):

Not all of the values inside decoded save data are known.
