There is something I don’t understand. I made a lot of tests with my save game, and I am never able to find the gold id adress easily like with uploaded save game of other player.
There is something I do wrong 
I have put in a barrel 1827 gold. Edit my savegame.dat and search the Gold ID.
I found 32 occurences.
So I verify all occurence to find on right the hexa value of 1827. Nothing correspond.
So I try to found directly the amount of gold in hexa and then look at left to find the gold ID.
23 occurences found, and nothing seems to correspond to gold id.
I have tryied the process with differents gold amount, and different barrel, I am never able to found the good adress.
So I try to put in barrel 3 arrows (Falmer, steel, dwarven), and then search thoses codes :
[INDENT]Dwarven Arrow = FF 41 39 BC
Falmer Arrow = FF 43 83 41
Steel Arrow = FF 41 39 7F[/INDENT]
The same, I can’t find anything, or the value on right don’t correspond to something coherent.
I don’t understand what I do wrong. I will try to make 2 saves. One with 1200 gold and one with 1250, and compare files to search differences and locate the real adress of gold.
I am using a French version of skyrim and I suspect codes are differents than US version.
My save is arround 12mo, may be there is a possibility that the game compress data to gain space and so you haven’t the possibility fo found exact codes, before unzip saves… ?
If gold is always located at 40 00 0F value, why when you search in your save game you don’t find 500+ occurences of this value ? Because of the amount of barrel, corpses, chest you have meet in the game, I suppose you must have in your save game more than 5 or 30 occurence of “40 00 0F” ? What do you think ?
Another question, are you able to explain the serialization method ? I suppose the code look like something like that :
[BARREL CODE (Constant)] [BARREL ID (Unique ID)] [ITEM1 ID] [ITEM1 COUNT] [ITEM2 ID] [ITEM2 COUNT] [ITEM3 ID] [ITEM3 COUNT]…
In this case, if everybody try to put money or objects in the same barrel, we will be able to find exactly the id of the barrel and locate easily in hexa the barrel content.
Actually I’am using the barrel located under stairs in breezehome
