This file is present in any save.

There are 8 values. 7 of these are made of 2 bytes each, and the
other is a string value made up of 26 bytes. Total of 40 bytes.

Structure

0 - Ignore this if the file is not in the missdat folder. If 0, then this is a savegame made on the beginning of a new battlescape game. If 1, then check DIRECT.DAT to see where which save slot to load from.

2 - This a 26 byte null terminated string, which details the name of the save file. The name may be 25 characters long; the final byte is always of value 0. A 0 also marks the end of the save name, should it not use all 25 characters.

0x1C - The current year.

0x1E - The current month. Note that 0 is January.

0x20 - The current day of the month.

0x22 - The current hour (24 hour time).

0x24 - The current minute.

0x26 - 0 for geoscape save, 1 for tactical save.
