Developers looking to build save reading or modifying utilities can use this tool to handle the dirty work of managing the save file format.

The json utilities are built on top of a portable library xcomsave that does all the actual reading and writing of the xcom save. Information on how to use the tools can be found in USAGE, which should be read alongside the information on known entities found in KNOWN. For other platforms, please build from source. json file contents to the classes found in the XComGame.upk and XComStrategyGame.upk package files, but some fields are non-obvious.īinary versions of the utilities are provided for Windows in the 'Releases' tab. No real processing is done on the save, it's almost entirely a 1:1 translation from the binary format into a JSON representation. The xcom2json and json2xcom tools convert from XCOM binary format to a JSON representation of the save file (and vice-versa). If you encounter errors reading or writing a save with another language I don't have exhaustive save samples for most languages, but I have used to this to successfully read and write English, German, and Russian saves. Tactical saves have a slightly different format that cannot be completely parsed yet. The utility supports both EU and EW and has also been tested with the Android version of the game.Ĭurrently only strategy (geoscape) saves are supported. An open-source, portable library for reading XCOM Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within save files, plus some small utilities to convert an XCOM save to and from a somewhat readable JSON format.
