@aanker: you say that only player kills are recorded in SaveData.clg. Yes this is perfectly fine for player-centric reports for career mode etc. But for my purposes I would like to have location and status for all ships/subs/boats at the end of the mission (or at save time). The game must record all of this information somewhere, e.g. InstantSave.rep or maybe SaveFile.rep, so it can continue the game from a save file(s). The real issue is the format of the .rep files, and whether it is even permissible to work out that format.

Many thanks for all the help so far!

It would be interesting to learn where SH4 does save mid-action data when a player saves to restart later. (You thought Replayinfo.rep??) - I don't know what I would use this information for other than to keep the file name(s) and purpose in my notes for future reference to be able to answer this question in case someone asks.

I have a load of mid patrol Saves I could dig through when I have a reason and time. If you trace it down, as I'm sure you will, please post where SH4 hides that info.... lol

Happy Hunting!
