[TEC] In-game save date

ExFishermanBob · 08-18-15, 05:56 PM

I have been searching in SH3 Mods for where the date in-game (e.g. 23 January 1940) is placed when saving the game. I have written a utility to extract this information, but wondered, before polishing it too much for release, whether there was an available tool, or something simpler than reading the relevant ISF file.

Have I not used the correct search terms in the forum? Perhaps someone who has been here a long time can tell me if such a tool has been written before.

(The utility is handy when writing to the message log as you can ensure that any message WILL appear, if it is dated appropriately).
