Hey guys.

Note: Requires the latest version of CLEO+ to work.

This is a utility library that adds support to MoonLoader for loading and saving data.
The data is stored in the current save file directory\LoadSaver Data.

How it works:

• Suppose you programmed the script to save a table using inicfg, then you saved the game.
  
• You set the save string ID as Test. The crc32 of your save game is FFFF0000 (in hex). Current save location is Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files.
  
• A file will be created:
  Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\LoadSaver Data\Test\FFFF0000.b
  
• This file contains your mod's save data.
  

Note: You can read and write your data however you want, this library only gives you the path of the file which you will read and write the data from.

Advantages:

• Data location depends on current save file location, unlike MoonLoader which stores all save data in Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files.
  
• Data location depends on the crc32 of the saved file, unlike MoonLoader which loads data based on current save slot.
  
• Supports names! You can use a string identifier to load and save your data. Changes in the crc32 of the script will not prevent data from being loaded.
  
• You can choose the method you want to save the data. The target file has the extension b.
  

Disadvantages:

• Does not work with Quick Save mods.
  
• Right after loading the game, needs to wait for one frame before loading data.
  

Download:
The download comes with an example script. Study it to learn more about how it works.
