The savegame file itself would not be so easy. You would have to have the source code for the game itself I think, and I seriously doubt that is something Aaron is going to give away. He hasn't even done that for SE2 or SE3 yet.

Why would be source code necessary ? IMHO only file structure would be - unless some weirdos compression algorithms are also used.
As an example look at what have been done with Baldur's Gate RPG : without any source code divulgation, fans did make impressive tools for EVERYTHING needed to make new adventures modules : NPCs, monsters, locations, items, plots, dialogues...
But well, I'd be unable to do any of this, so perhaps I'm just dreaming...  |
