Question about save file

[Duffer]

Hi.

Sorry if i post my question in the wrong forum.

I have a question about the savefile.
I want to create a little tools for savefile in Delphi, but when i'll go to look the structure of this one, there is some weird things.
Example for Soldier, sometimes, the block of data start by -rank: 1 and the next time it start by -id: 19.

So my question, is how this file is create. In my opinion generally there is only one data structure.

Code: [Select]

      - rank: 1
        craft:
          lon: 0.2933465887212589
          lat: -0.281480073230845
          type: STR_AVENGER
          id: 1
        gender: 0
        look: 2
        missions: 38
        kills: 32
        psiTraining: true
        armor: STR_FLYING_SUIT_UC
        improvement: 20
        equipmentLayout:
          - itemType: STR_HEAVY_PLASMA
            slot: STR_RIGHT_HAND
            ammoItem: STR_HEAVY_PLASMA_CLIP
        id: 17

the data structure is in yaml https://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html
there seems to be a library for delphi here https://bitbucket.org/OCTAGRAM/delphi-yaml/wiki/Home
