<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
A '''save file''' is a game file that contains the current state of the game. The game creates or updates a save file after the player interacts with a [[Save Point]]. ''Treasure Adventure Game'' allows for 3 separate save files ("game_save_1.dat", "game_save_2.dat", and "game_save_3.dat"), which are stored in the "save_data" subdirectory in the game directory. If you want to, you can swap out or modify the files to load different save files (even when the game is running).
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The save file stores various information about the game. These can be divided into:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* [[Global values]]
* [[non-renewable collectables]], which can be:
** [[Treasure Chests]]
** [[Dig-Up Coins]]
** [[Collectables]]
** [[Coins]]
* other saved values (for example, "[[save point frame]]" and "[[greenhouse plant]]")
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Save file format ==
The save files are binary files that should not be opened with a text editor like Notepad. Instead you should use a hex editor or a  [https://gitlab.com/TadeLn/tag-save-editor/-/tags dedicated tool for editing TAG save files].
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The format is essentially a dictionary, or a list of key-value pairs. The keys are strings and the value is a pair consisting of a string and an integer. Entries are right next to each other, and each entry is structured like this:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* A number in ASCII, terminated with a space (0x20) - the length of the entry,
* A null-terminated string - the key of the key-value pair,
* A null-terminated string - the first, string value,
* A number in ASCII, without a terminator - the second, integer value. This number is read from the remaining bytes in the entry.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The entire entry takes up ''length + ascii_length + 3'', where ''length'' is the value of the length (at the beginning of the entry), and ''ascii_length'' is the length of the ''length'' value, when represented with ASCII text. The ''+ 3'' comes from two null bytes at the end of the strings and the space (0x20) terminator.
</div>

=== Example ===
Here is a fragment of an example save file:
</div>

</pre>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
On the left-hand side are bytes in hexadecimal, on the right-hand side is a text representation of those bytes; null bytes are represented as dots (.)
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To read the values from the file you have to:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
# Read the length of the entry - in this example it would be 43.
# Read the key of the entry until you encounter a null byte - in this example: chest 20 coins1977102
# Read the string value of the entry until you encounter a null byte - in this example: Chest 20 coins1977102
# Read the next ''x'' bytes, where ''x = entry_length - (key_length + string_value_length)''. ''key_length'' and ''string_value_length'' are lengths of the strings above, without counting the null byte. The string contains the integer value in ASCII form. In this example, ''x = 43 - (21 + 21) = 1'', so we just read 1 character. This character is "1", so our number value is 1. 
# Repeat the process from step 1 until the end of the file
So, the first entry would translate to:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Key
!String value
!Integer value
|-
|chest 20 coins1977102
|Chest 20 coins1977102
|1
|}
The purpose of the string value is currently unknown, and it seems like if the string value is present, the ''key'' is always the ''string value'', but lowercase.
