Exporting Saves to Text

[Charles-Stuart]

I tried using the tool to export my save file to .txt, but it seems to just save the .sl2 file as a text file so it's unreadable.

Is there a way to export the save file's information to serialized text, like JSON or YAML?

I'm trying to put together an auto-tracker for game progress using git, where each time the game is saved, I check for what's changed and create a commit with those notes, adding tags when something big happens, like a boss kill. I have everything else, I just can't tell what's changed from one save to the next in the .sl2 file.

If you happen to have an easy way of generating that export with this tool... I'd love to know how!

If not, but you have somewhere I can go next to find info on reading the binary save file format, I'll happily go figure it out for myself. I just haven't found any resources like that online recently.
