Saved games are also popularly known as Jamesons..

Overview

  • Scenarios may need Saved Games as part of their OXP (see the SOTL Exploration and SOTL Altmap scenarios whose joint loader contains a Saved Game for each).

The AppleMac version of Oolite gives the player little detail about each saved game (just the file name and date of the save). The Windows and Linux versions give considerably more - as does Oolite Starter (name, system, money, Elite ranking...).

Detail

The Saved games are written in XML.

Strict Game Jamesons look like this (note alphabetical order - "aft-weapon" is quite distant from "forward-weapon"):

Size!

For a "strict game" Jameson this can be c. 28-31 Kb.

OXPs can bulk this out massively. Chief culprits include Diplomancy, adding in the details of the history of the relationship between every solar system and its neighbours, Bounty System recording every bounty everywhere & Smugglers - a record of the galactic economy!

Note that the size of an OXP'd Jameson can be much, much larger than the original size of Classic Elite! 1-2 Mb with Diplomancy, Bounty System & Smugglers versus Classic Elite's 32k of memory!
