The Crusader Kings 2 save-game parser is a simple header-only library that extracts information from any Crusader Kings 2 save. At the moment the most basic character information is available to be extracted, but I intend to expand it to all data as it is still very much a work in progress.
One downside is the large amount of memory usage (as these files are stored in memory and they are quiet large). This is something I also plan on improving. However, I see it as a necessary evil which compromises memory for quick speeds.
To install this into your project, you must copy the header file to your project and include at the top of your code. The traits.csv must be in the directory of your executable.
#include "ck2Parser.h"If you are using the Game of Thrones mod and want the trait list, just set the new trait list with
ck2::traitCSV = ck2::TraitCSV("traits_agot.csv");before any usage of the functions.
The library is very easy to use, first you must create a File object which loads the .ck2 save file, then, you must make a SaveFile object which parses the data.
ck2::File file("save.ck2");
ck2::SaveFile save(file);Then, if a character's ID is known, you can retrieve them with
ck2::Character player = save.getCharacter(504285);From here, to get various information, you can simply call the information as a function.
std::string name = player.name();
std::vector<ck2::Trait> traits = player.traits();
ck2::Attributes attributes = player.attributes();
ck2::Character* mother = player.mother();
std::vector<ck2::Character*> children = player.children();
