Reverting .omwsave back to .ess saves

Post by Mikros »

Is this possible? I've found some stuff I would like to try in vanilla with certain mods but I'm not sure if this (converting an openmw save back to ess) is possible. I've done some cursory searching but haven't mad much success.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

It's not possible, and in fact, the tool to go in the other direction doesn't really work either.

Damn okay. Thanks for confirming this.

Yeah, the .ess format is largely undocumented still. Nobody has gone through the hassle to figure it out.
