|

I don't really have any experience with this so I want to see if I could get some pointers.
I managed to dump a decrypted save file for a game that I'm trying to hack, and I want to see how much I can do with it.
The format is somewhat understandable - it appears to be giant table where it lists a property, defines it's byte size, defines it's data type, and then finally the value of the property.
The problem is that would be tedious for me to make edits to the raw file like this while I experiment with it. It looks like there are more structures (like arrays) nested in the table so it would be confusing for me to wade through this with just a hex editor.
Is there any way I can figure out if this is some kind of standardized table format and have some other program parse it for me? I kinda figure that game developers aren't going to re-invent the wheel and create their own data structures from scratch, so maybe it's made to a standard and the tools already exist to easily work with it.
