Saving Data to Local Harddrive - System.IO?

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 2:49 am

Hi - I'm new around here.
Before diving into the CK, I was wondering whether it is possible to save and load game data to and from local harddrive. I would like to save player position, player viewpoint and location of NPCs and objects to disk. I would need something similar to System.IO for using a streamreader/streamwriter. This needs to happen several times per second so I can plot user movement through the environment and anolyze navigation performance.
My goal is to use Skyrim as a data collection tool for cognitive psychology experiments, preferrably with brain-injured patients.

Thanks,
Leucetios

I THINK you can write data to an ini file by using the SKSE plug-in (check the wiki or the MODs board to get it).

(but that's only think ... I have never tried)

There is no vanilla function to save data to files (as far as I know, anyway)

Thanks for the pointer, h4vent. It seems that this is on the to-do list for SKSE.
