UE 5 Asset Reader

Allow for extension into a savegame reader - existing Ark 1 readers have no support behind them so are unlikely to be updateable.

Rigidly define an output format for asset reader - decide how much is needed for all possible uses downstream.

Reading requirements

  • Default should be to list exports (including their metadata)
    • requires reading import and string tables
  • Ability to read entire property tables of individual exports on-demand
  • Ability to read bulk-data of individual exports on-demand (texture/sound data, other stuff)
    • requires reading property table to calculate offset
