Editing Savegames
Introduction
For editing savegames of BotF, UltimateEditor of DCER is a helpful tool. It already haves some internal capabilities to edit savegames, but alot of functionality is only available by hexediting. Therefore the UltimateEditor has a compfortable menu to extract (and import) files of (or into) a savegame. If you want to extract them manually, you will have to decompress them using the BotF LZSS Algorithm.
To get an Overview about the content of all those files within a savegame, have a look at the Savegame File-Listing!
Moving Ships
Moving existing ships on map is easy! You just have to edit GTForceList and GWTForce and adjust the sector row and sector column.
