Save/Load System
Nuclide APIs
Every NSEntity class usually comes with a NSEntity::Save() and NSEntity::Restore() override. These are also used for [level transitions](@ref transitions).
When a save-game has been restored, the overridable method NSEntity::RestoreComplete() will be called. At that point AI or some time based triggers get the chance to re-align themselves with the reloaded environment (if necessary).
LVC Files
The engine stores cached copies for the current (non-saved) game into the <gamedir>/saves directory, in the form of lvc files. Each lvc file represents a map, containing a copy of its entity lump.
When a specific save is made, it will have its own directory under <gamedir>/saves/, with its own copy of lvc files.
FSV Files
Contain misc meta-data accompanying the save file, such as rate, chapter title, player slot parameters, server info keys, as well as specifically engine tracked console variables.
Preview Image
The preview image for save games is stored under <gamedir>/saves/<savename>/screeny.tga.
