Privateer Save Game Editor

Library and command-line tools to read and modify saved games from Wing Commander: Privateer

Largely inspired by and only made possible thanks to the amazing PREDIT tool created by Wayne Sikes.

Usage

Library

>>> import privtool
>>> save = privtool.Save("/path/to/SAVE.SAV")
>>> save.player_name
'RODRIGO SILVA'
>>> save.call_sign
'MESTRE LION'
>>>

Command-line

$ python3 -m privool "/path/to/SAVE.SAV"
