Serialization

Summary

SKSESerializationInterface can be accessed from SKSEInterface by calling SKSEInterface::QueryInterface(kInterface_Serialization). The serialization interface allows plugin authors to serialize data to the SKSE co-save. This can be useful if the author wishes to persist data between runs of the executable.

Class Interface

• version: This is the version of the exported interface. Plugin authors should assert on this field if they require a certain version.
• SetUniqueID: This is a unique signature for your plugin, which SKSE will use to call your plugin when serializing to/from the co-save. Give it a four letter signature that's a shorthand for your plugin name (i.e. 'PLGN').
• SetRevertCallback:
• SetSaveCallback: This assigns the function that will be called whenever the game saves.
• SetLoadCallback: This assigns the function that will be called whenever the game loads.
• SetFormDeleteCallback: This assigns the function that will be called whenever a form is deleted.
• WriteRecord: This writes the buffer buf with the number of bytes length to the co-save under the signature type with the version version.
• OpenRecord: This opens a record in the co-save with the given signature type and the version version. It returns a boolean indicating success.
• WriteRecordData: This writes the buffer buf with the number of bytes length to the co-save. It returns a boolean indicating success.
• GetNextRecordInfo: This reads the next record's info from the co-save, storing the signature in type, the version in version, and the number of bytes in length. It returns a boolean indicating success.
• ReadRecordData: This reads the specified number of bytes length into the given buffer buf from the co-save. It returns the number of bytes actually read.
• ResolveHandle: This takes a virtual machine handle handle as it was when the save was made and writes the handle as it is when the save is loaded into handleOut. It returns a boolean indicating success.
• ResolveFormId: This takes a formID formId as it was when the save was made and writes the formID as it is when the save is loaded into formIdOut. It returns a boolean indicating success.
