Shield Cat saves are stored in the /saves directory. This directory is platform specific, please see Installation Instructions for its location on your platform.

Please note, save files can only be easily accessed and modified on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It may be possible on other platforms, but it is not supported.

Shield Cat save files are saved using the following structure:

 OTTSAV00.BIN

where 00 is the number of the save file. The game, therefore, supports up to 255 save files.

Header

OTTSAV files start with the following header:

 SC_OTTSAV_V00

where 00 is the version of the save format. During the prototype phase, all save files will use format 00.
