The save game viewer is splitted into 3 parts:
The class creator are used to inspect different Anno 1800 files.
It can read different file formats that are used by Anno including
the "rda" and the "db" format up to a size of 2 GB and present it
in a treeview.
You can set datatypes for the shown content fields
and export the data either as xml or as a full set of C# class files.
The serializer is the core of the project that make it possible read the binary anno files and serialize it into the class structure that are generated by the class creator. All created types are flagged with attributes that handles the conversation to various types:
BinaryContent(Name = "Filename", NodeType = BinaryContentTypes.Attribute, Encoding = "utf-16")]
public String Filename { get; set; }Sample Code to load a file into a class structure:
namespace AnnoSavegameViewer {
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using AnnoSerializer.Serialization;
using AnnoSerializer.Structures.Generated.a7s;
public static class SaveGameReader {
public async static Task ReadFileAsync(string filePath) {
var savegame = await AnnoFileSerializer.ReadFileAsync<A7s_File>(filePath);
var seed = savegame.A7s_File_RDA.Block_02.Gamesetup_a7s.GameSetupManager.GameSeed;
}
}
}A sample front-end for the data is the savegame viewer, which one shows the amount of items, buildings and buffs that come from items. You can filter by participant, map and island.
