In <code>Pack/Bootup.pack//GameData/savedataformat.ssarc///saveformat_*.bgsvdata</code>, the game stores a mapping for each ID to the corresponding entry name. This name is then further defined in one of the files in <code>Pack/Bootup.pack//GameData/gamedata.ssarc//*</code>, depending on its data type.

Strings are stored with the maximum possible number of characters (e.q. 256 characters for strings defined in string256_data_0.bgdata) and are broken up into 4-byte parts. These are then stored in sequential chunks with the ID repeating for each chunk.

Strings are stored with the maximum possible number of characters (e.g. 256 characters for strings defined in string256_data_0.bgdata) and are broken up into 4-byte parts. These are then stored in sequential chunks with the ID repeating for each chunk.

For arrays the data is also stored in sequential chunks, each with an identical ID. The horse names (<code>Horse_UserName</code>), for example, will take up 96 chunks (6 names, 16 chunks each) with the ID <code>0x7b74e117</code> in the save file. (Since the horse names are string32, that's 32 utf-8 bytes - normally 32 characters - times 2 because each 4 byte part has a corresponding 4 byte ID for 64 bytes per name, times 6 names in the array for a total of 384 bytes)

For arrays, the data is also stored in sequential chunks, each with an identical ID.

Data types for value include:

Horse names (<code>Horse_UserName</code>), for example, will take up (6 names × 16 chunks per name =) 96 chunks with the ID <code>0x7b74e117</code> in the save file. Since horse names are stored as <code>string64_array_data</code>, that's 64 UTF-8 bytes per name. The <code>Horse_UserName</code> array has a maximum size of '''six''' <code>string64</code> names. The array will always occupy (6 names × 16 chunks per name x 4 bytes per chunk =) 384 bytes of string data, alongside 384 bytes of IDs (one 4-byte ID before every 4-byte data chunk), making the entire array '''768 bytes'''.

''Note: even if the horse name has 64 characters in the save file, the name may be truncated when displayed on UI elements.''

Data types for '''value''' include:
