Where are statuses saved?

Ok, when you play the original game, the states are saved in game.txt and the several mission txts in the appropriate profile dirs.

The things saved, amongst others, are locations of enemies, locations and targets of darwinians and the location and tasks of officers (target of movement cannot be saved, only their tasks).

Exact locations of enemies (darwinians and officers excluded) are not saved, or at least it didnt look like that.

Now for my current mod it would be really helpfull if I could save the state of the 122 spawned officers. That would save me a shitload of manual editing. I can't seem to find out where these are saved though.

I can't even figure out where the building states are saved (I've tested it on Fodder, and once I captured the building of the first level, it would remember it after restarting it, however i could not locate the file containing this information).

So... where's the state of mods saved? Or how... Did I just miss it? It's well possible

Different things are stored in different places.
The building being captured (ie, switching teams), is saved in the level specific file. Things like activating a Trunk Port are saved in game.txt
Generally speaking, unless a building is switched from offline to online, its saved in the mission file, otherwise it will be added to game.txt as well.


If you want to place a lot of units specifically, you will need to create groups of 1, place them in the editor, and set their spread to 0, that way they will always appear where you place them on the level.

yeah i know, but i want to play the level, set the awaypoints of the officers, and copy that status from a savedgame. this way i wont have to set the awaypoints manually since the editor doesnt support it.

Looks like its just stored in the level file. I assume the goto path is the value set for waypointx and waypointz.

Well I already posted that before

But the status of the officers are not saved for me, that's the whole problem.
Like when I play the mod I posted, if I change the target of the officer, leave and return to the level, the target will be reset.

I know that and how they're saved in the original game, but this behaviour seems to be flawed for mods

If I'm wrong however...
